Who sculpted the alternate tyranids?
I'll give GW credit for one thing, the variety you're getting in that Leviathan starter box. Gone are the days when a 40k starter box would just have 15 Marines, 30 Ork boyz and a card standup Deff Dredd.
They(GW) don't care about you. Its just money talks, so people love to contribute to their greed!? Why!? Look at what you're buying! Plastics! YOU "GET" to paint... yippie!😑 that should make it CHEEPER!🤬
@@zeroxexe111 what
@@zeroxexe111 The cost of the starter box is what every army should cost, $30 bucks and you're off to the races, what is this $150 nonsense?
It isn't a starter box, it is a deluxe "limited" edition.
@@orbator Potay-to/potah-to. It's a big box of a new edition of the game containing "everything you need to start playing". That GW's business model is built on boutique-level pricing driven by artificial scarcity and FOMO is another matter entirely. But I get what you're saying.
for the space marine side: assemble the models as best as you can, including gap filling. Than prime the resin and plastic models black, challenge the viewer to figure out which is which
the gaps...just put together my marines and all were good right up unti one had a split in the shoulder pad. Just does not go together, so much work to fill it terrible place to split the model
Put them together in blender, no gap filling or assembly required
I meant from the leviathan box haha 😅 still waiting to get a 3d printer, when I have space to print not in my bedroom
@@rhoalpha tamiya extra thin. Add some bits of plastic sprue to it and let it dissolve, you want it to be kind of thick but not goo like in consistency. I call the mixture tamiya extra thicc, great for gap filling plastic minis but you can also use it to gap fill other stuff if you make it thicker.
@@antongunther3977 I'll try that! Thank you 😁💜
Not naming them was probably the best thing those printed nids were nearly one for ones with GWs and we all know how much GW likes that.
I would love to see the Marine half of the Leviathan set! Thinks primarily to you I bit the bullet and went all in on 3D printing but now I have a HUGE problem, What to print. Not only do I have three kilos of ABS (Water washable was just WAY too brittle) but hundreds and hundreds of files that I snagged off of C3D over the last year. It's going to take me the rest of the month just to figure out what files I do have.
Thank you for showing off what we can do ourselves at a fraction of the cost!
I think this is my build plate stick issue, water washable is just super brittle. Is the eco friendly stuff also brittle?
LOL you can't just blame me now! Glad to have you in the discord, feel free to ask any and every question and someone will help
Amazing content, I got away from tyranids in 2007 because they were so expensive. Now I think I can get back into them. Keep up the great work!
Thanks brother!
This is great! I just got my 8KS last week (my first 3D printer) and I love it! Your videos have been a great help. Funny enough, some of the first models I printed were the ones in this video lol.
Thanks brother! A man of great taste I see
I do think 3d printing is great but idk there’s something about building them and getting the box I love.
I was waiting for a video like this thank you Sam! My Mini 8Ks and wash/cure station are arriving this Tuesday and now I'm even more excited to use them! I'm new to 40K but Nids are my favorite faction so far, I can't wait to print and paint some of these beautiful sculpts :)
I sit waiting for the next video! Once I become a little more flush, I will join the patreon again! Love the channel, love the content. You got me into 3d printing. Thank you soo much
I love how I have every single STL you showed lmao.
Yo can you tell me how to find these ones in the video, or at least point me in the right direction. Im glad they’re hard to find, can’t have em struck down but I would like to print them 😅
@@WarlockCD Type what they are into cults 3D search engine lol. You probably wont have to look long once you find the creators lol.
Could you do a comparison of both models, after paint is applied?
Both having the same paint scheme would make it a great comparison. Just a thought in my head anyways, totally understandable if you decide not to.
For Easy support removal and total resin/iso removal, right after the wash i dipped my models in hot water, they come so clean after that i use recycle ISO
Was excited for this one :-) I only seen one guy do something like this
I still bought the leviathan box. Not printing that many models and the book were worth it for me. I still printed the Butov carnifexes and some other stuff though.
I bought 2 Leviathan boxes and would love to have these to supplement the army
I REALLY love your comparison videos.
Nice ! I found them i think ill be printing my other half , only thing i need a new laptop .
Great Video mate, thanks for sharing :D
Where did u get the stls? 😮
For super glue just give a very fine dusting of baking soda before applying the glued component. Strong instant bond.
Another fire video. Possibly the best Leviathan box video I’ve seen. Yes, I intentionally tied into your mantra. Possibly the best… let’s keep it that way.
Thanks brother Yetti xD
Yes, we would love to see a space marine video also on this subject! Thanks for doing this video also.
two to three plates per day? Do you have automatic restocking for resin?
Do you have a printer settings profile we can see? I have the same printer and I am running into issues with prints falling off there supports even if they are small prints.
I am wondering whether I should get the mini 8k s or the saturn 2 8k, which are both around $370.
I do not know whether you have any experience with the later, but you probably had experiences with 22 microns vs 28 microns, but also smaller vs larger plates.
What would you recommend for a complete beginner?
Thank you.
I would really like to see them painted up and a full 2,000 point printed nid army.
2:14 lmao. They are like barbed wire cutters Sam mate hahaha, you can get finer ones than that lol. I think I bought mine on element games, they were like £20 and are Tamiya brand(expensive sure), but they are perfect for cutting through sprues and detailed work. I try to save money on loads of things but they have payed for themselves with cutting things from supports too when i was forced to cure them.
Was there a link to get the stl. files for these? Wanting to start playing 40k and nids are the army I'm wanting to choose
Do you have a list for GW creators for 3D printing and Privateer Press creators? Also great video! I’m looking at getting two printers within this year to start this hobby
How long do you wash the bigger Bug parts. If i leave the Supports on them i have to wash for 20 minutes
Please do same video for the marines , I’m thinking about completing my army in resin instead of buying everything . I did buy the leviathan box though !
Where do you find these awesome sculptures
Would love a hint on where those paid stl's were from
You should show Stroke's models. They are definitely the most detailed nid alternatives ever made.
Missed your chance, stroke pumped out an emissary in 16 hours of reveal.
Going into the video, hearing your first words and the laughter afterwards :D :D :D :D
Thanks brother!
where you get the 3d models to download? I want to get me a 3D printer but don't know where I get this models to download(buy).
I have all of the models and have printed them and yes they are really good. I also picked up the nod half of the box for $90 with the cards and the book so not a bad deal.
do you know the creator of the models they look super sweet
@@rusty7819 no one ever tells becaus GW will go after them.
hi
great channel but you can explain something to me: where can you find all the STL files for the Gamesworkshop figures, I'm also thinking about printing them, I love the hobby but it's become so damn expensive.
I would be happy if you answered and which printer you use and whether you had to make a lot of settings before you can start printing.
greetings from Germany
yes! Please do the same vid for the space marines!!!!
I put Tamiya Cement Accelerator (Tamiya 87138) on one half of a model and then the Gorilla glue on the other. SUPER fast bond, even on hotter days.
Any advice on printing 6mm figures?
noobie question if u buy the resin model do u have that file for life? so 5 dollers for a model u can print over and over again ? im just researching printers now and thinking about getting one to get into warhammer
I’m sorry if I’m missing it somewhere, but who is the creator of the models/stl files?
When I printed the Screamer Killer, I had to scale it down to 70% in order to do a full print. Did you manage it in one go or did you do multiple prints??
Depends on your printer?
@@reddragon4482 A bigger build plate helps, but I also use an 8KS as is in the video.
Can you let us know where I can find these files please? They’re perfect I want a mid army!
I would definitely like to see a video on the space Marines
Can i get a link to some of those creators?
Where do you find these models?
The best way to increase your speed of building these armies of printed bugs is by using super glue activating spray. One part gets glue on the other part spray and it really does stick together in literally a second. It's the best thing you can get for small multi part models.
Man, what's the trick to finding these amazing models online. My keywords must be off because you always seem to find the PERFECT creators.
where did he get these fils from?? looks great
Brother Sam it’s time for the marines! Let’s see it man.
The people have spoken
love the video Sam we need more Nids in the world. My Bio Titan is almost done. hehehe
Thanks brother! You've made me want to print a Bio titan! Damn you! :D
@battlebrothersam do it. Remember that file needs upscaling about 15 to 20% tho. I didn't know until to late. Hahah TinyBio Titan
Would love to see the marines side of the box like this vid
Where did u get the .STL models??
thank you
Funny I supports seem to leave nibs all over models and more sanding than gw. As well I would be so worried to break resin so much just playing with them. Am i wrong?
Funny timing on this, I'm in the process of finishing my print plan for a full 3D printed 2k nid army. Tournament next month and I think I want to set myself the challenge of printing and painting the whole thing before then... Might have to document it on the discord. Wish my luck gents.
Are tournament organizers friendly for 3D printed armies? Or is this at a local place?
@@Andersonzabuza as long as it's not a GW official tourney, and the models are on the correct sized bases, and are roughly similar in dimension to the original model it's usually fine. Always best to email the organizer ahead of time though with photos to get their official approval.
This helps!
Yup would definetly love to see the Marine side aswell.
I want a video for the marines! Thanks
where do you go to buy and download stl files I got myself an elegoo for xmas
We want to see 3d printed Marines!
still love youre videos buddy!
Thanks brother!
I got some stls on sale but it’s really hard to decide on a printer.
Nice video my brother
Thanks brother!
Did some one from the community have experience with the advertised printer?
This model is actually my preferred choice for my first printer. But I am still collecting data.
LOLOL you had me there XD
hahaha glad I got someone
I love the new dreadnought and the infernos marines are awesome finally my salamanders feel whole now lol
Is there a list of all the stl files?
they are all on cults
We as creators, have been cast into darkness. We have been put into the void, for we are terrified of being hunted down by GW’s inquisitors and crucified by GW’s lawyers. Just know we are still out there lurking in the shadows, ready to render our services for those worthy of our talents in secret. All we need is the right coin, and the right amount of questions. Just ask and you will receive.
Good vid
Thanks brother!
Eeey I recognize those bugs! They're good bugs!
The best bugs
have you try printing death guard?
Where are these models from? is there a reason its rather hard to find the creator?
If he states outright then Gee Dub is likely to shut the sculptor down.
I tend not to use direct copies, since GW is unlikely to go after One Page Rules, which has their own aesthetic.
this
Who make the 3d tyranid models?
how about a link to the files...
www.cults3d.com
Listen Sam, other half of the box would be cool but I'd would scream like a school girl to see Grey Knights full 2k points army and an idea of how the scale is on what you find.
This is very cool, but where do you find the models? Is there a website I can buy these 3d files from?
Mmm neat
Hey I’m not sure if you’d get unwanted attention for doing this, but the dude that made the file for that screamer also made a harridan - would be cool if you could do a vid on that one
If you know the name of the creator could you inbox it to me? Been looking forever.
Whose creator these STLs came from?
My buddy has a printer and it’s not for me, sure after you pay off the printer you only pay for resin physically. But after factoring in stl cost unless your planning in printing multiples ( I am not) it way more worth it to buy a box from gw
Depends what on your army and if you just want one. GW boxes are great but it’s nice being able to print spare armies to play with those who don’t have any. I have a have a tau army, space marine army, grey knights, couple of titans and a few vehicles. All from free stls and all high quality. The options are endless. However the 3d printing process is messy and toxic. You have to gear up. Prints take a few hours. If that’s not for you then don’t bother with it
@@carlstanford7607 agree fully I also tend to play the small games like KT or WC. But yes my bud needed to buy a tent with exhaustion fan for the fumes and then the clean up process is also not fun especially if there is a print failure
Can you do another video like this except use new exact proxy files instead of files made over a month prior to leviathans release?
paint em up and see how they compare
I will...eventually xD
On the psychophage 3d printed model you forgot to put on his little arms :(
Your right! I just checked the model and I can't believe I didn't put those on
I would like to force each and every Warhammer player to buy ONE Gundam model kit so that they can have their eyes open to what a good "model building experience" really is. I've built some marines and necrons from the Indomitus box and the experience was from not-even-whelming to straight up garbage. Any of these models will drive the message home - MG Barbatos, RG Sazabi, RG Hi-Nu Gunda, RG God Gundam.
Agreed. The best part of 3d printing is not having an unpleasant build experience.
I've been spoilt by 3d printing but maybe I should check out some Gundam kits
Chitin is pronounced like kiting, not like shitting :)
I much prefer the plastic models personally.
For a better fit next time, just cut the pegs off altogether and assemble with plastic glue without the push fit elements. You won't have any gaps that way.
That being said, scraping mold lines off is absolutely a huge pain in the ass..
😂 I heard the same thing, nearly chited myself laughing…
LOL I need to start using google for words I'm not sure about
If GW didn't hate you till now...i think this Video does the Trick. Very good Brother!
And i want to see the Marine side as a Video too
haha I'm sure I won't be welcome in their establishments
I was JUST about to print this lad before my printer’s FEP failed. Hey ho.
Its in the omnissah's plan brother
So if say i dont know, asking for a friend, where would someone start looking for those stls patreon, cults, mmf? Or could you dm me a link? Not that i would put em in my nid force 😅
Also would love the info. These are so good.
Cults
Also @ 0:50 in those are some big snips for taking out plastic models!
yeah you know I should have really used the small snips that come with 3d printers LOL
Anyone know the name of this creator? would be really appreciated.
👍👍👍❤❤❤
One time where the minis are just as cheap on ebay as it is too print. So far picked up nearly the whole tyranid side for under £30 inc postage
Thats nuts
That's a lot less than I paid
I tried some Tyranids around the early 2000's
Not gonna lie - some of the worst models I've ever had to put together (looking at you Gargoyles and Lictors) Glad to see the process has been simplified.
Would love to see the space marine half of the Leviathan box (though that's mainly because I've picked them up cheap) ;)
I printed a Neurotyrant that was free, then built my Leviathan version and here is my take. The GW version is much more detailed and better. It looks like the person who did the sculpts used a 3D scanner that missed items. That beimg said, from the table it won't matter. The other thing I would say is that there are better alternatives from other creators like one page rules and others that would be even better than people trying to scan or copy GW. The Neurotyrant you showed was sick though.
The premium STLs are usually more on par with the GW version. I agree they usually have more detail on them though and the fact they're in plastic makes it easier to weld them together with plastic cement.
@@reddragon4482 where can one source these premium stls been looking for a few armies but finding mostly low res or just bad looking models. I plan to support GW at some point but am dipping my feet into Warhammer, so im wanting to try before I spend time buying
What a fanboy answer. "on the table it won't matter" yes it will matter, manually painting on those lines takes a ton of time, and not having to do that saves you so much work and the look is better because it's modeled. Pile on the additional modeled detail and save me more time!
Those prints look amazing. Gonna get them for my son
Do the Marines video please!
The people have spoken brother
If I wanted a bug army ?
3D prints are better in my eyes and close enough few would question them
Space Marines ❓ It's another video , BUT unless they're looking like box set . Why ❓
games workshop should really move on from sprues and just 3d print their minis
Bring on the marines
The people have spoken
Yup, mouldlines are a bitch. But you become sort of an expert if you do it long enough and try different tools. Newer kits are better for it, especially the "premium" ones like Primarchs etc
