Thanks that helps a lot!

 

Now I'm considering a printer. Looking at these two, you mentioned above: 

• Creality3D Ender3
• Monoprice MP Select Mini v2

I'm really about keeping cost down to get 'decent' printed content. You saw the Pylon I'd print first, but then maybe terrain, bits, etc. Scott, you have both, which do you like better between those 2? Anyone else recommend a printer? The under $200 is nice, don't know if I'd go to $300. Seems like the ender 3 is a great machine and larger prints for the budget price.

 

What about the Anet A8?

 

Also being that the Ender is a kit and the MP Select is pre-built. Is there a resolution concern in calibration, etc?

If I had to suggest to someone I'd say look at the Prusa MK3 (not a clone, but rather from Prusa). They have great reviews and are pushing the envelope in 3d printing. I've also heard great things about the Ender, and building it could be a great way to learn it and fix it if there is issues.

Any idea what getting the Pylon printed might cost?

I just loaded it into my program Cura and as is with no scaling it was at 410 grams with a 20% infill. With the filament I use it would cost me about 6.15 in filament. My experience with places like 3dhubs is that you would pay about $60 for it. A couple of those arms barely fit on my printer so it might have to be sliced further for another printer.

Can you point out which of these examples were printed on which printers?

-d

All of the tan ones were printed on the Form 2. It is a resin printer. Don't know about the tires.

Oh oh me me!

I have a Ultimaker 2+, using mostly PLA to build terrain, objectives, and other parts.

Recently bought an Anycubic Photon Resin printer, first week was a nightmare getting things figured out but I finally think I have it.

The Ultimaker is more for larger pieces and things that need to be tougher, the resin printer is for more bits like items that need to look good on a model.

First two are a couple of resin prints. Others are PLA

Did you go by Astral?

Yea, I swung by and got some shadespire.

Your friend and mine, Captain A is in Medford, Oregon on some family business. Got some warhams to get rid of? Hit me up!

I'll second Yeggi - its an aggregator of other 3d file places like Thingverse.

Also got some great files from Imperial Outpost and Kickstarter.

Got some of these buildings from Thingverse and another site.

(Sparked from the movie thread)

Won't it be interesting when you can swap out actors for your favorite movies via vr? Like have everything so well CG'ed that the computer simulator can play you any movie and you can choose which actor plays which parts. They would sound like, look like, and act like the real actor would, but be in a different movie. Sylvester Stallone playing all the parts of Steel Magnolia for example.

Just a random thought.

The Girl with All the Gifts

Saw the movie and didn't like the ending. Read the book and finally understood the ending. Book was pretty good - 4 out of 5 zombie bites.

The Isle of Dogs

9/10 Wee Andersons

I really enjoyed this flick with my daughter. Its a bit slow, but the overall story was cute and entertaining. Good heart pulls. Might help if you love dogs.

Hey all!

LIes! Burn them in the fires from Trogdor!

I have a lot of warpspace to go through after being away for a bit. Saving Travelling for last.

Greetings fellow 40k gamers!

The Boise Cup is ramping up to take off June 23-24!

Last year was our inaugural year in which we had 40 registered players and this year we are bumping it up to 50. Tickets are selling and we are already about 1/3 sold out, so get those tickets quick. We allow a two week refund period.

The Boise Cup has many paths for personal victory. There will be trophies for best general, paint, sports, and overall in the form of a fantastic Bolt Pistol. There is also an achievement trophy for pulling off crazy things in game during the weekend. We will also have faction awards for attending factions so that is another goal you can shoot for.

This event is a culmination of my many experiences playing 40k events all over the USA. We have 360 degree access to tables, great terrain, mats on every table, nicely edged tables to play on, TWO chairs at each side (one for stuff, one for butts), great prize support, and lots of fun! Get a ticket before they start to go quick! We hope to see you there!

Nothing parking or hotel wise. On the strip you might try the M&M store which is right next to the coca cola store where you can try different sodas from around the world for $10. Just have to compete with the half naked ladies posing for pictures and the escort people slapping their stacks of cards.

Fountain display at Cearsars is fun. 

Please keep doing these so we A)know you are still alive and B)experience life vicariously through you.

Bleep bloop.

Got this set pretty much buttoned up. Happy overall.

Unless you are good at painting white, you will probably come to hate that scheme.

So I've come upon a new list I plan on using for the forseable future and it got me into nurgle which is one of the Daemon forces I don't have a lot. I really didn't want pukey green as everyone has pukey green, so I went with a scheme similar to one i found on a youtube video and went with a whiteish color. One of the main shades is Druchi Violet, giving it a purply look, and their teeth look like wine teeth, hence Bacchus Born. Bacchus being the fat jolly lord of wine and puking seems to fit nurgle well enough.

Here is the basic scheme and where I am at so far.

You'll want High Desert Scenarios, run by Hellfish. Search for Hellfish on FB and look for Joe aka Arizona. They put on games regularly and just did a magfed game a couple of weekends ago.

So last year I was going to attend the OFCC (dunno if that's the correct term for Ordo's tournament) for AoS. Started painting my army, even finished most units. But after some misunderstandings on my part I didn't attend. 

I wanna go this year but on the 40k side. So is this list something I can play there or should I try something softer/harder?

As a former HOG, I'd see this as a tourny list. Has most if not all the tools for tournament play.

Instead of disgustingly resiliant you call it angrily shaking it off and play Taylor Swifts hit pop song.

Totally would.

Issue is that new rules would deny me my khorne daemon detachment bonus if I included any nurgle marked models. For khorne, that means no re-rolling charges....can't afford to give that up.

Take a patrol and have red khornlings and madbringers (poxbringers)
