OPR saved the hobby for me. I was so sick of a certain other companies meta churning and feeling like I had to relearn the game everytime I played. I subbed to OPR and started 3d printing in 2021 and haven't looked back.
I was in a similar boat. All my friends play 40k and sigmar and I couldn't get into it with the price of the models. For less than the price of one army I got like 3 armies from OPR and a 3D printer setup.
I won't spend $2000 on plastic toys, but I'll happily spend $800 on a printer that can do more than just mini models. I use it for everything lol
OPRs saved my hobby too, I wanted to drop the hobby and sell up but now I have more army's than ever
Absolutely bang on
Always wanted to play 40k but the rules just been to much for me and my wife, AOS been playable so far but 40k is what ive been always wanted to play. Discovered OPR one day and their Grimdark Future rules so i bought myself a printer and 3 armies later my wife and I play and enjoy it so much! ☺
Bonus, all the rules they do have solo / coop mode so you can play versus an "AI" enemy. I saw a video where a guy put it to the test by having both sides play by the AI rules and it still gave a good, tense game.
Highlands miniatures has some pretty phenomenal fantasy miniatures. Honestly, I think they're better than OPR's are.
I like Highlands because they having gaming in mind with their sculpts. There's a lot of talented sculptures, I feel that don't at all, or at least have their own skirmish games in mind.
Yes highlands and OPR are my two subscriptions.
Loving OPR and their choices of miniatures. I started with a free stl model of their webpage, printed it out and fell in love with it! I’m currently building a Da Vinci army for both HotT and KoW using their figures. The fact you can scale them down and lot loose and real detail is just awesome! And playing mini hammer using the KoW rules (they are used as KoM), is just perfect for me. Thank you for sharing this vid with us all, love the channel and all you do and have done over the years! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
3D printing goes hand-in-hand with tabletop gaming these days.
I'm a OPR patreon and i couldn't be happier about it, their models are absolutely stunning and easy to paint, and like you said it is a major advantage that they offer both combined models and bits models. On the first month I was sure that i'll be a patreon for a long long long time.
I have wanted to get into miniature wargaming for a while but wasn't really ever drawn to the major games (and couldn't afford it even if I was). One Page Rules and 3d printing have allowed me to engage in a hobby I love in the way I like and works best for me (I have plans for like 8 different armies currently and it actually seems doable instead of causing me to go bankrupt from buying plastic from big companies).
Thanks, Luke, for providing content that covers this side of the hobby and gives inspiration to gamers and painters like me. It is appreciated.
It's worth noting that their pre-supported models print just fine on my Ender 5 Pro (fdm printer) once you get your settings dialed in. Am I going to have models in White Dwarf magazine this way (humble brag)? Nope, but I feel pretty confident that I can take these rats that I've printed and score very high/well above average painting scores at a KoW GT with MOSTLY FDM printed models. Just cheap as chips they are and makes the hobby so much fun. Highly recommend.
Merry Christmas GGS. I am "THIS!" close to buying a 3D printer because of companies like OPR. There are so many ideas I get for gaming and story telling that I want to have an actual model or scenery to tell those stories. Have a great holiday season and Happy New Year to you and yours.
Me too. And Luke's vids help to fan that flame. Maybe I get some bucks to spare for christmas...
Anybody on the fence, get the printer you have been thinking about. I can't tell you how wonderful it is and how creatively inspiring and freeing it is. Post holiday sales should happen soon and it is so worth getting even an older model resin printer and getting stuck in.
It's time to get a 3d printer. Just stick it in a spare bedroom to keep the smell to a minimum
Been on the fence for a while years ago until the price became comfortable enough to dip my toes into a new hobby and haven't looked back since. The freedom is insane. Resize and rescale models? Sure. As good or better artists compared to the biggest names in the business? Absolutely. Unique minis only available if you use a printing service or print it yourself. Price per mini? Affordable and competitive, honestly cheaper once you print enough. The freedom to mix and match is amazing, not only could you use your old minis for mini agnostic games like OPR, but you could print and paint alternatives to minis and games available already. Imagine 'better looking' and cheaper space marines than much of GW's offerings. Into TTRPG's like DnD like me? The market is absolutely flooded with options and variety both fantasy and scifi. It's also just a great feeling to be able to purchase a file online, have it printed hours later, and hold a new mini in my hand same day without leaving my house. I can't recommend it enough. The tech keeps improving and prices keep dropping so even the cheapest resin printers pack a TON of value. On that note I would avoid fdm/pla printers for detailed minis and only use them for larger objects like terrain/vehicles, or for things outside the mini hobby like prototyping, cosplay, prop making, functional parts, etc. I haven't seen anything in our shared hobby that revolutionized it this much as I did with 3d printing and I dare you to challenge that, wet palettes and paint shakers be damned! Good luck and happy holidays!
I bought one after eyeing 3d printing for years and I regret not doing it sooner, between being cheaper and easier to get great quality models/armies at any time you want. But for me the biggest thing I love is that I decided to play at 15mm which means scaling everything down by about 50% to play games, all that means rules wise is just hafting measurements and such which has made wargaming even better since terrain can be smaller but so can the boards. All and all, regardless of any difficulties with 3d printing they have been easily outweighed by the positives 10 fold.
Bro the best part of 3d printing is that it changes your views on minis.
I have given away so many now because I can print them for pennies on the dollar
Been following OPR for two years and Patreon last year. Amazing models and great rulesets. Quick, balanced and far more player interaction for a game that's about 2 players having a game. No turn 1 kill because GeeW says use whole army before opponent gets to have a turn. 100% switched gaming systems, and with new sister models on bikes being released January, I'll get to finish an army I've been dreaming off since 1997.
I subbed to their Tier 2 Patreon this month and I plan on playing Grimdark Future Firefight over the holidays, really looking forward to it, I have lots of 40k minis ready to go. Next up will be a 3d printer.
Definitely peaked my interest. Thanks for another great vid, best wishes for the holiday period and hope 2023 isn't as hard.
OPR and Highland Miniatures (for fantasy!!!)
its so good! it has a lot of depth that is needed, but a lot of the BS is trimmed off from GW rulesets
Background music is super distracting this time around Luke. Got a headache
I have supported them for some time now, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Absolutely love for all the same reasons you do. And them some.
Hey, you mentioned zombies. Did you know if you do vampiric undead and just took zombies you could field 340 of them. I'm planning on doing a zombie survival scenario with some friends kinda based off that.
Opr has a much more streamlined game too. Noone is bringing 3 books for one army
Got my first game of OPR's Grimdark Future: Firefight in last night, had a grand time. Super streamlined, fun, fast. That it saved my $400 in Necromunda books is a bonus! (that $5/month Patreon is well worth it IMO) Cheers!
Opr is fucking golden
It really is. Fucking Golden.
Fucking Golden.
OPR saved my hobby. Been playing grimdark future for a couple months now and honestly it's the best fun. Also a tier 2 Patreon and must say the minis are amazing to work with, I've only got an entry resin printer and really want a bigger one as OPR is converting me to the future of the hobby
Honestly one page rules is what got me back into the hobby.
agreed! so sick of bloat in GW games and their rules seem good too.
Cheers to one page rules! So refreshing compared to games workshop
I like them space lizards. I've got a good feeling about 2023! 🙂
Have been meaning to try this rules set. Also Starbreach and Warsurge are some other very flexible rules sets I have to try also. Spoilt for options!
I love OPR so much the value is unmatched, If your after some mixed sci fi and cyber punk minis I suggest looking into Papsikels and I've just started supporting Wargames atlantics tribe on my mini factory which has an insane amount of content for the price to. I also watch Archvillain and Titanforge each month now as they have some cracking stuff pop up.
Great video and merry Christmas to your all happy new year let's hope that it's a better one 🤠🤠🎅🎅🎅
Thanks for another year of fun videos.
I’ve been trying to print their minis but they always stop right after the base. Is there any advice for printing these guys cuz I can’t even get them to print.
I just got into 3d printing with an Ender 3. I know FDM and PLA are not the ideal method and material, but if I can get my settings right I think i might be able to get the OPR minis and make the look decent. The Saurian Starhost looks so freaking cool.
did you have to change anything when you print them or you can print them as is and they come out scaled like GW mini warhammer? mine came out smaller lol. what's your advice?
sorry i skipped that explanation for scale, what my question is now whats the scale for my opr prints to be proxies for warhammer minis?
lol this entire video is an advertisement. Not necessarily wrong, but it's an ad.
Is xps 250 good enough for crafting or do i need a higher grade?
Still using the Halot One you recommended, still works great. If I have any recommendations for printing it's use water washable resin, less smelly and no messing with gas masks etc when using industrial alcohol
I want to be able to both print out fill OPR minis and bits for customization
OPR got me interested in the hobby again. Repurposing my old WH40k models for GDF games with my friend. Ofc I printed my own Death Korps army but I went out and bought a hammerhead for my Tau army that’s been collecting dust for 8 years now.
@Geek Gaming Scenics the link to myminifactory takes you to an error page.
Love OPR games and minis. That being said… I always use MeshMixer on any stl to print them as one combined models and give me some leeway. Also… no assembly (glue) needed! Thanks for the video, my friend.
There models are awesome ! Keep up the good work!
Hope you and your family are doing well Luke❤❤❤ all the best
What is the opinion on Ghamak models?
I'm the same on the model variety.
Give me the base models and I'm happy. Extra bits are fun but happy to have it as an option not having 15 pieces to assemble
I been following and printing onepagerules for a long time, they are more than proxy they are a wonderful set of simple balanced rules with stunning models.
OPR models are very stylized. To anime for me. Better competition is out there.
Got any names?
My favorite part of OPR is the combined midels
Have you seen the Highland Miniatures , Dwarf slayer release for December? should take a peak at them!
Cheers Luke , Lv~Lv~Lv .
🐺
Oh , Have a Happy Holiday . 🙂
I am gonna tell u why they are the best....Sponsored by them. Me : ok, unterstand.
Great vid, so so right….❤❤❤
Anyone knows of any other creator who makes good proxies for NECRONS?
Monstrous encounters is another great patreon to get stls. Great heroquest and old fantasy style minis.
The bloke running it has been a bit crook lately and could use a bit more support coming into the new year. I'm printing their goblins and the dwarves from Highland miniatures to make a diorama army display🤙
Best company i have found. Purchased a few early releases from MMF that needed re-supporting but all recent stuff has been flawless.
Luke, you'll probably like the STLs from Fat Dragon Games. They're mostly one piece models.
I'm hoping 3d printing becomes more and more popular to the point that GW learns they can't just appeal to impulsive spenders if they want to make it
Yup they are AWESOME!!!!!!
I also love not having to build 3d printable models. Before printing I didn't realize that that was the least fun part of the build process for me.
For anyone watching who maybe consider self-abusing (including descending your earlobes) please call the Samaritans immediately.
Damn you luke, OPR has some gorgeous sculpts. So after 4 years of watching, ive actually got into miniature painting. Not interesting in the games, just want display pieces
OPR models aren't overly detailed
Blessed sisters: And I took that personally
Rules are too simple imo. Easy to get into and open but we could use more crunch.
I find that printer models are just too fragile for normal use on the table
One page rules has better games systems and they are easier to learn and cheaper for people to start playing … and they don’t strike CZcams creators
Mary Xmas.
OPR is what got me into KoW to make my Empire of Dust Army!!! Because their models are 10000x better than Mantics Empire of Dust
To be one of the biggest downfalls of GW models can be the masses of extenious details. Ammo pouches, pendants, dangly bits galore. They don't add much to the model when viewed, as they often are, from arms length, but add loooads to the paint time.
I remember painting Empire state troops and it was an absolute slog because of this!
An opinion piece sponsored by the company you're talking about. This is just advertisement.
Man, love your stuff, but come on. You can't make a video saying OPR's is the best and then say this video is sponsored by OPR. I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I love OPR's. But wow this is heavy handed.....
One page rulers because we haven't made 2 page rules
Please take this background music away - I watch your vids to calm down and not for doing a workout … this song feels like running endless corridors down. Our hobby is not like that at all … like a bad dream by slaneesh 😮
I play exclusively OPR, so GW is the proxy company.
but the rules _isn't_ about the models. Its about the game philosophy
It's not a proxy miniature company. They have their own games for which their minis are the intended minis. They could be used as proxies for warhammer but why would you do that when their own games are better.
Personally I thinks alot of their minis look better than GW minis..
I hate AK’s what about you ?
This is just a Sponsor Video, where's the Christmas themed Vid? Disappointing.
Yes. How dare he not make exactly what you want. For you to consume for free. The sheer audacity.
@@hangarrat I’m glad we’re on the same page👍🏻
Inb4 people start being salty about 3d printers again
I like OPR, but you are straight-up shilling every single video these days. Got to pay the bills I suppose.
Played one page rules fantasy skirmish - its very very sad game, sorry, unplayable
