3D printer Warhammer files designer. Also creates 3d designs of other computer games characters, objects, vehicles or robots. I create STL files for 3D printing of Warhammer 40K characters, especially, but also vehicles and props from video games.
Playing miniature tabletop wargames like Warhammer or Warmachine without any terrain or obstacles on the game board is a little bit like getting ice cream on a cold winter day. Sure, everything that you like about it is there, but it just isn’t very satisfying. Miniature games are more than anything a game of army selection and strategy, and you really need to have both to be successful. You could have the deadliest, most powerful characters and troops in the game, but if you don’t know how to use them a lesser army with a better game strategy will beat you every time. And when you add some terrain into the mix, a good strategist could wipe the table with you without even trying.
This shoots GREAT. Soft recoil, no snappiness. I can compare it to my CZ82 that I already was happy with and this shoots on par if not slightly better. Only 8 rounds but at the range to keep the gun barrel cool, we usually shoot 5 at a time and reload or change guns anyway. Walther p38 serial numbers lookup.
For such an important and potentially game winning part of the game, most miniature wargamers don’t put nearly as much effort into their terrain pieces as they do their armies. It isn’t uncommon to see makeshift buildings constructed with taped together cereal boxes or random bottles and cans strewn around the game board. While that gets the job done, it certainly isn’t as much fun as a well thought out and fully painted piece of terrain. But when the army that you’re using can cost you into the hundreds of dollars, it’s hard to justify spending just as much on a nice piece of terrain.
That’s where 3D printing enters the picture, because I can’t think of an invention more suited to a miniature wargamer’s needs than a 3D printer. There are some amazing pieces of terrain and scenery that can be printed, assembled and painted for pennies on the dollar compared to terrain that can be purchased. Sadly, a lot of gamers don’t even know how much is actually out there, or think that they need a 3D printer to get it. In an age of, and, not having a 3D printer just isn’t that big of a deal anymore. So I went out and found some of the coolest pieces of 3D printable terrain and scenery that I could find for this week’s column.
And here they are, Ten 3D Printable Things – Tabletop Wargaming Terrain: OMNISPHERE by Found on: Thingiverse Cost: Free I had to start off this list with a bang, and you’re not going to get much more of a wow factor than pulling this bad boy out and putting in on a game board. The Omnisphere is a huge piece of terrain that has a removable roof so figures can actually enter it, and continue the game indoors. This is a perfect feature terrain piece for skirmish games, capture the flag or king of the hill type variants. ARCANE GATEWAY by (Painted image courtesy ) Found on: Thingiverse Cost: Free The best pieces of terrain are those than can serve multiple purposes. You could use this awesome gateway for tabletop RPGs, as a random piece of terrain for wargames, as an objective marker or even create a rule variant that allows players to use it to transport to other parts of the game board.
There is a lot of fun to be had with something like this, or you could just print it up and paint it as a display piece. The scale is for 18mm miniatures, so it may need to be bumped up in scale for 28mm games, but even at its original size it’s pretty large. The designer even designed a “vortex” piece that can be inserted into the doorway. You could print it in standard filament and paint it, or even print it in a transparent material and light it from behind. MODULAR BRIDGE by Found on: MyMiniFactory Cost: Free Back when I ran a game store and played regularly, one of my favorite game variants was what we called “bottleneck”. Essentially, the board was divided in half, and the only way to get from one side to the other was either a break in an impassable wall, or a bridge.
Sadly, we didn’t have an actual bridge, so we typically used a piece of road or something. Just seeing this beautiful bridge model makes we want to start gaming again.
