I have an fdm printer and its great for terrain and bases but man, sometimes I wish I got a resin printer for small bits to add to models. GW do give you bits but theres so many stls out there for different guns, heads etc. The shotgun loadouts are a good example of alt weapons.
While I wouldn't go full 3d print armies the customisation out there is excellent.
I don't even know how bits would work any more given all the recent GW models I've dealt with only go together one way.
I do buy a lot of Stargrave for bits tho.
Can confirm. I was talking to my local GW manager while he was working on the Ork half of the box. His part-timer is painting the Marines and GW mandated they be Smurfs. He clearly thought it was as stupid as I did.
The store manager near me has to deal with headaches from management as well, to the point where I don't know why they don't just go rogue.
Their particular complaint is management makes them stay open late on a Thursday. But it's completely dead and there's nothing to do. So they started a bloodbowl league, maybe alternating with Spearhead, hoping to sell more kits and have something to do on time waste Thursdays. Upper management forbid it and now they're stuck staring at the wall across the street all afternoon.
Apparently grimdark future sells a two player starter set at a store near me. Has anyone played?
Neat. I hope they sell them near me too. I'd buy one.
I'm going to be playing it soon (hopefully).
While the community is nicer than 40ks, there's a little bit of an issue right now where people are complaining. The game is super light weight but some are complaining it's too crunchy, and the increasing popularity is now starting to attract tournament fags that do what tournament fags do.
Wait, what?
The starter set has an OC donut steel Space Lizardmen
Best faction in the game. Fun lore, cool models, and something GW refuses to give us.
And for those who care, the lore is the frog mages prepare the suarian army, and go to sleep ready for prevent the apocalyptic event the prophesy foretold.
Some wake early, see the shit has hit the fan and start trying to wake up the others.
And if you hate the dinosaur aesthetic, I hear they make a great proxy for Halo covenant.
