GW is half the UK economy these days.

If you like OPR you would also enjoy trench crusade.

Really fun game with none of the GW BS.

The number of people speaking from a position of authority in this comment section saying they have only tried FDM for minis is hilarious.

High res resin printers are incredible.

My playgroup proxies everything.

We all have large magic collections but Wizards has shown repeatedly that they have no intention of making the game more accessible.

I have been playing magic continuously for 30 years and have not spent a dime on it since 2019.

You should look into One Page Rules.

Its a much more accessible game that doesnt have a predatory business model behind its ruleset.

GW is frankly a shitty company, they are extremely litigious and their business model hinges around nerfing armies and then launching new models to make up the gap.

This hasn’t been the case for several years.

High res resin printers are more than capable of printing high quality minis.

There are hundreds of videos on youtube to back that up, squidmar in particular has done several side by side comparisons.

Nobody uses Etsy for STL’s.

There are some great sites with thousands of designs for reasonable prices.

You can absolutely 3D print warhammer.

“The bottleneck isn't acquiring plastic. The bottleneck is everything else.”

Getting models is certainly a bottleneck if you dont have $1000 to spend on minis.

In my city you can resin print the same army for $100 at one of dozens of 3D printing shops.

Same goes for high end mtg proxies.

If you are interested in a great game with an open license that encourages printing and hacking together your own models check out Trench Crusade.

I don't know what you are building, but if a thing doesn't have comprehensive docs it doesn't make it into my stack.

Good riddance.

I stopped using SO before LLM's were a thing because the community was such a pain in the ass to deal with.
