I backed this terrain project other day: 

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stellarartisan/stellarscapes-3d-printable-sci-fi-terrain

Extreme amount of terrain made to print on a SLA printer. Pre-supported and everything, supposedly. We will see! I am very pumped.

Someday I need to look at an FDM printer. That dual extruder above looks kinda cool!

Also found these Guard Space Cossacks:

Female troops and all. Sweet

Has everyone seen this sweet base STL kickstarter? $16 bucks and you get ALLLOT of bases. They have been adding larger/odd size bases to the already unlocked sets. Time to re-base my entire army, again...

I’m shopping. What should I know? 

Buy a 4k, mono screen, mid size printer. Elegoo Saturn or Anycubic Mono X. You will be happy. 

FEP Changed, releveled and re-zeroed. MUCH better! I think I didn't let the resin warm up enough and sit long enough so I had some bad bubbling at first:/ Still not perfect, but it is a great benchmark to start.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix some of the issues they see on the test square?

Thank you for the test file and the video! It is so easy to quickly print off a test square to see how the printer is doing. Im going to do this every time I use the printer now.

Eeeks!! Changing my FEP right now and going to re-level! I havent used the printer in a week or 2 and it is printing bad!

can get the big one for the same money as the elegoo

 

The Mighty and the Saturn are very similar! Same price point now. Saturn doesnt have wifi though:( So I have to walk to my Garage (which I have to anyways) to load up and start a print. Prints look great on the Mighty!

Elegoo Saturn finally came in! 3 of us got them at once. Darn Amazon. So far I have used the wrong support settings, but everyone else has been printing away no problems. Detail is just as good as GW models. Love it so far!

PS 2 Drop pods can print in this thing.

3 of us just bought Elegoo Saturn resin printers. You can print an entire drop pod (maybe 2) inside of it! Highly recommend you check it out. I am still getting mine up and going and have over 100 back items to print otherwise I would help you out!

So far 9th has been great! New codexs will rebalance the game, again. 

Do you want the double handed Deathwatch thunder hammer? I have 6 or 7 left. Lately I have been converting them for a single handed Primaris Serg weapon

Edit:

Core rules are free. The $5 is for the list creator, access to all 8th ed rules, etc. I have not paid the $5 and have access to the core rules portion. They look to be the same as the free rules that was posted to the Warhammer community page earlier this month. 

I could not access any of the material on the "References" tab on the bottom left until I paid the $5 fee. There is no army builder yet. The search function lists searching rules, but only searches datasheets. Not worth the $5 yet.

After the, "no state will work" problem this morning I finally was able to give GW $5 bucks to see what the app had other than a PDF version of the rules. The parts I see are nice enough, but not $5 per month when Wahapedia.ru is free. I will wait to see how the app evolves. I hope the rules become part of the app, not just a PDF.

Awesome!!!! I can't wait to buy mine. You are so lucky. If you end up not "wanting" it let me know lol. I have a few work projects and about 1000 hobby projects ready to go.

Did any of you guys get the Elegoo Saturn pre-order?! I tried on both and missed out.

New FAQ's are posted

https://www.warhammer-community.com/faqs/#warhammer-40000

And I thought I was going to get work done today... Great.

Geeks and games did 15 percent off and had plenty of box sets at 130pm today. 

I read that the new chapter approved rule book has the rules in it, so maybe no big expensive book needed.

Plus the app has rules and codexes. We will see how well that works. Not going to hold my breath but I sure wish GW hits the app out of the park. 

Something like this?

And that’s why I play 40k at Ordo and not at Guardian Games.

I only have played at Guardian with Ordo members... and I still get wiped turn 2!  Someday I will be decent at playing. Someday...

Since the 9E objective markers are officially 7.5" (7.57" technically), I wonder if Ordo or OFCC will make some sweet custom neoprene objective marker mats? I have a set to support Team USA 40k and have enjoyed using them.

Slightly off topic, but for the love of Zod, why don’t people ever edit out the “Waiting to Start” nonsense from uploads of live stream reruns?

This video takes ELEVEN MINUTES to get to the actual content!?

Twitch makes it easy to push a button to do reruns. Not sure they care to delete the extra time as it would just cost time/money. Sure wish Twitch could automatically remove the pause screen for reruns!

I tried out Streamlabs which seems to be the streaming platform of choice for Twitch and others. You can have a waiting to start screen/pause/whatever while you connect to the streaming platform but are still getting things ready in the other window. My understanding of the workflow is you start your Twitch stream via Streamlabs which then shows the waiting to start screen(or anything you want to show), start your video chat program which involves sometimes restarting connections and making sure mikes work etc, load up your other content you want to show on the stream, arrange all the windows in streamlabs, then press start stream. Some content creators have a different workflow, but with all the pictures and stuff GW's stream shows it sounds like they have a 3rd person doing the stream and they just connect via a video chat like Zoom.

I like that melee is now defined at 1" horizontally and 5" vertically. I really like the bullet points in the rulebook. Everything so far is thorough, defined well, and clear enough to me. I wonder if the chapter approved points are going to "leak" tonight/tomorrow so that people can play over Treason Day Independence Day.

Core rules now available to download. Does anyone else think this leak is a normal marketing tactic?

Whoa. This is huge. A tactic that I’d been using for several editions with my Deathwing and planned to use with my Custodes was to plop one guy with a storm shield into my units for every five men. Use the storm shield to “tank” the occasional high AP hit and then let one of the others take the small arms fire.

Imperial Guard Infantry Squad with a lascannon shoots the squad, shield tanks it with 3++ Save. The eight guys with lasguns shoot, take it all on the 2+ Save of a regular trooper.

Now, not only must all shots from the one attacking unit be taken on that first man, he must continue to try to tank shots for the rest of the Shooting phase!

 

Yeah that is huge for Deathwatch vet squads. Well any squad with storm shields really.

So this is going to be an automatic pick for my Custodes...

Ouch for non elite armies!
