    Really appreciate your engaging here.

    I know that there are a lot wargamers who put a lot of effort into painting less than excellent figures because that’s all that’s on offer. If things can move forward to where the sculptures can generally be pulled into printing models and then rendered by the hobbyists in whatever size they want, we’d see a lot more variety in figures and armies.

    Not sure if we’re ready to take on a 3D printer but it’s a thought.

      Not a worry at all, my pleasure. What is it that you mean by “if”? The 3D printing hobby is already well past that, and has been for years now. Hell, without the tech, One Page Rules would never have been able to carve out a sizeable chunk of Games Workshop’s long-exploited fanbase in simply offering better and more varied models. Furthermore, entire subgroups cropped up for all sorts of tabletop games with long-time and brand-new fans alike easily modifying preexistent figures to downscale and proxy for fun alt-sculpts. (Marvel, Star Wars, LotR, etc)

      Lastly, “take on” how? To be clear, I’m offering to facilitate the printing of said models you’re interested in. 🥳
