This week, I are mostly been printing... Teeny Tiny Space Knights!!
After last episode's commissioned print I wondered just how small can my 3D Printer print? In particular I'm after some power armoured troopers to fill in as Holocaust Squad Judges.
Ball Bearing Galactic Crusaders with Chain Axes - Cults 3D
You have got to laugh at the names of some of these files. These are epic scaled minis which come in a variety of poses and helpfully in groups of 3 & 5 so printing a whole squad is easy. straight onto the build plate they are about 10mm so I scaled them up 125% to 15mm but they were still too small for my Judge Dredd miniatures which are about 17mm tall so I upped it to 20mm.
These should work well in my games and I have some cool ideas for some encounters which require this type of armoured set up.
Painting up a Holocaust Squad
Once I had superglued them to 1p pieces and primed them, I gave my squad a quick once over with Gravelord Grey Speed Paint from army painter. Jet Packs were trimmed in yellow and I gave each one a different coloured helmet and shoulder pad to aid in discrimination on the field of battle.
Holocaust Judges are rarely seen in Mega City One, their deployment being reserved for those extreme moments when the ultimate sacrifice is required. Their ranks are typically made up of those Judges close to retirement or have in some way disgraced themselves in the line of duty. This final act of service is seen as a suitable punishment or alternative to the redemption of The Long Walk into the Cursed Earth.
Epic Scale Imperial Heavy Tank - Cults 3D
I had a copy of the original Epic Space Marine game Adeptus Titanicus back in the days of Games Workshop Large Boxes. So I wondered, just for funzies, how well these newfangled 3D prints would stack up against my vintage epic armour.
Pretty good me thinks.
Now I've got to find me a decent Epic sized Mek Quake model for those BIG JOBS! in Mega City One.
