Millymoo444

I AM LOW POLYUS THE PINK. TREMBLE IN MY PRESENCE


KnowerOf40k

Hehehhehehee Jokes aside Kind of like the name Low Polyus.


Steampunkvikng

Lopolius is a convincing faux latin name that actually sounds pretty good


Vladyoyo

I cant wait till its my turn to be the dm so i can make my party face low polyus and just bring this beast on the table


[deleted]

Please take pics of this


Vladyoyo

I will, with tears of joy at the panic of the players


boioiboio

Read it as Low Polypus, did not enjoy it, made me think of ass cancer..


Hamsternoir

Lygo Pollus


Vladyoyo

Dont forget the machine spirit roar


Darcitus

*Too loud pixelated blurp*


Odd-Bend1296

That is just really loud 56k modem.


Punchdown_Kid

By the emperor Trayzen has stolen my resolution!


Warhammerhistory

I have reported you to the GW IP protection team. A squad of snipers, navy seals and lobotomist’s have been dispatched to your location.


Vladyoyo

Then i shall hire a sniper team to snipe their sniper team


Warhammerhistory

They have been liquidated by the feral goat farmer Militia. They shall be remembered.


Rtwo28

But then who will snipe the sniper snipers?


Vladyoyo

Sniper sniper snipers


TacticalToads

Ork snipers


Vladyoyo

And make them purple so they cant also be sniped


Ioelet

And the sniper sniper snipers freeze to death in winter...


Vladyoyo

Then i know just the sniper for that situation


AnaSimulacrum

Sniper no sniping! *cute Dora voice*


jonnononoNO

Why hire them when you can print them?


Vladyoyo

Oh my god, you just broke the system. I gotta start printing, im gonna go conquer russia


dogchocolate

send in lopolius


Vesperniss

Why hire, when you print one?!


SpaghettiMonster01

Eversor assassin. Gotta be sure.


LGSolidSnake

It’s alright, the shield is on the opposite side. Therefore it is a completely new creation /s


Warhammerhistory

I’m afraid it’s too late, war has broken out.


LGSolidSnake

It’s alright, the shield is on the opposite side. Therefore it is a completely new creation /s


xx_swegshrek_xx

You wouldn’t download a baneblade


djpiraterobot

The 3D Printer Revolution has taught me that yes, I would 100% download a car and literally anything else


lordxi

We've been trying ever since they told us we couldn't.


[deleted]

I would and I have and nobody can stop me and my army of baneblades!


Academic_Initial_643

i poligonius printus from the clan printus wielder of the mighty sun piercer son of lord third printus defender of the deks system


Vladyoyo

You just gave the perfect reason for the low ammount of polygons, thank you you international hero


Yamatsu64

You can find the rules online, it got -pedia at the end of it.


Vladyoyo

Oh ok, thanks


TheRockyPony

wahapedia, best website ever :)


colefly

I don't trust the .ru though


TheRockyPony

I understand where you're coming from, but it's been .ru since the beginning and there's never been any issue. Believe me when I say that if there was any issue with it you would hear of it. This website is probably one of the most used one among players. Also, there is no registration or items sold through the website, so no critical data is stored. Trust me, "Russia" has better things to do at the moment than stealing some browsing data from a bunch of Warhammer nerds. If you REALLY don't trust it, you can always just make a local copy of what you need, every now and then, but it pretty much goes against the idea of having easy access to always up-to-date rules, imho. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


Hartiiw

The reason it's in Russia is that the courts there don't give a shit about copyright law meaning that it's one of the few places where a website like this can be hosted without legal trouble from GW


Longjumping-Spend143

I need a knight in my life


Vladyoyo

Dont we all?


Longjumping-Spend143

We all need at least 3 lmao


Vladyoyo

True, and a warlord behind thoose 3


Longjumping-Spend143

Any titan would be great to be honest lol but personally i would take army of dreadnoughts. I just love dreadnoughts so much but im struggling on money for now to get much


Vladyoyo

I feel you, i have an attempt at a scratchbuilt dreanought, you can see the thing on my account if you want


Longjumping-Spend143

Oo ok yeah ill look at that. I have been saving up plastics to try a scratch build myself mainly for necrons but also on this space marine tank im working on now so ill definitely be looking


Vladyoyo

I also did 2 necrons out of lego skeletons and a necron head


derverdwerb

Have fun filing those surfaces down. :p


FeIsenheimer

What do you mean with that? No /s..


Dr_Smiiles

Due to the way 3D printing works you get a very uneve surface. It will essentially have hundreds of grooves between layers of filament. Resin printers will have less pronounced layers but they're still there. If you want an even paint job for a filament print like this (at least I'm assuming it's filament) you gotta sand it all down to even consistancy. Which will take lots of time.


KnowerOf40k

Super important for cosplay making too. People always say "well the paint will hide it" they are always wrong. If you don't go through the effort you will absolutely regret it!


PopeofShrek

If you have the patience to do lower layer heights on a resin printer they're all but gone. Still there for real but just not visible other than a few spots. Cuts down the overall effort for a near perfect print. At least for larger stuff like cosplay (idk how well it would work for minis. Wouldn't wanna try it on infantry sized stuff but knights may be fine) some will just paint liquid resin over it and have it and cure it and that helps a lot as well.


Nerdfatha

Sandable automotive primer helps a lot with this.


derverdwerb

True, but you'll lose details. It isn't as important for a knight, but it still has little rivets and things.


anillop

That’s why you play Orcs and just call the imperfections part of the aesthetic.


[deleted]

That's awesome. You can customise it as you want.


[deleted]

Textures haven’t loaded


Vladyoyo

Yeah, you gotta make some sacrifices to get some playable fps


Bard_is_a_Goblin

If you paint that keep it pink i beg you


Vladyoyo

I am very sorry to tell you that i already primed it corax white


Bard_is_a_Goblin

This is why fulgrim pink exists :)


MusMinutoides

I have some aesthetic pink and blue knights! Not hot pink though sadly https://imgur.io/a/6Lzo1nd


ignitethegonzo

This looks like an old school starfox boss and I absolutely love it!


Vladyoyo

Do a barrel roll


NewTransportation130

This is what I was looking for. I was not disappointed.


FoamBrick

Why would you print such a low poly file when there’s multiple free versions that are way better?


Vladyoyo

I thought it looked interesting with the low ammount of polygons


Letholdus13131313

The low poly look is charming. I can almost see if move in a PS1 game.


Squallvash

Paint him in synthwave and he'll be amazing


Vladyoyo

Thats reserved for whenever i decide to print out some tyranids


JDutch921

Hell of a lot cheaper than a real one


Vladyoyo

And i think also slightly larger


Shadow-fire101

Knice job Okay I'll see myself out


Vladyoyo

Dont worry, but i gotta say, it was a *knight*mare to remove all the supports


randomredditt0r

Cue "we have knight at home" meme.


Vladyoyo

Make that and ill send you a virtual hug


[deleted]

Looks awesome man! Printing is the way to go if you don’t intend on going in tournaments! Try r/printedwarhammer , you will get received better!


Vladyoyo

I will check it out, thanks


Tarhiel_flight

Awesome job, I may want to eventually do something like this Does this require a sophisticated printer or can it be done with one of the cheaper brands?


Vladyoyo

I printed this on an ender 3 that i bought 2 weeks ago, i cant help any further though as i only got into 3d printing as well


Tarhiel_flight

Years ago I told myself I would wait till the technology catches up / becomes affordable and honestly this (and other 3d printed stuff on this sub) convinces me it’s right about at that point I’m going to look into it more, make sure to post when it’s painted and congrats


Vladyoyo

Yeah, the ender 3 is like 200€ and i think i saw a video on yt explaining how you can get almost resin like quality with a filament printer


mrsc0tty

You definitely want one of the resin ones IMO - my setup was 150 bucks. With my first liter of resin I went ahead and printed 450$ of figures.


Starkde117

Yall got any more of them polly gons?


Vladyoyo

Nah bro, they ran out of them at the polyshop, i bought the entire stock


[deleted]

Now they are all polly gone


Starkde117

Dang, had i seen this sooner i would have made the joke alredy made


radiatorz84

Wahapedia


HeidenOvTheNord

Phew....


jaxdman

A pink that will strike fear into the hearts of men and women alike


Loose-Gold4920

STL file?


NebulousKiki

Do you have the stl file for this?


Vladyoyo

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/imperial-knight-crusader/3d-printing


Nerdfatha

Whoa, how many hours/print sessions did this take? And did you use 100% infill?


Vladyoyo

I printed it in 6 sessions, in about 42 hours and i used 10% infill on everything except the upper body where i used 5%


The-D-Ball

Now you have to ask…. How many of those could you print for the cost of a single GW knight? On a side note, with a little 3D model work, you could improve that.


Vladyoyo

Well, the total cost of this one is around 5-6€, an official model is about 120€, everything unpainted of course


Sublyme3

He's very A N G U L A R


Vladyoyo

He really liked geometry in school


archerhaenk

Sorry, sorta new to the community. If it is to proper scale and whatnot, could a 3d printed model be used in actual play? I know in house hold for fun games it would just be up to the players, but I mean in real tournaments and whatnot. Are there rules defining that?


Vladyoyo

Most probably not in official ones, and for ones held by hobby shops, i think it depends on the owner


xKingNothingx

Is it just me imagination or is it a little bigger than the real one?


Vladyoyo

I have no idea, i never seen one in person


GgefgTheRobust

STCs be like


Vlt3d

Sark the pink of the house of Tron!


MadNooseLad

Hey wait a minute your that guy with the grug pfp in that one war thunder server Very cool knight tho


Vladyoyo

Yep, thats me


mrsc0tty

So, didn't just go with the Dominion Crusader files? Those look fine in FDM, in my opinion.


Vladyoyo

Ill keep that in mind for the future


ApexLegend117

DIS MAKES ORKZ HAPPEZ


Vladyoyo

I actually want to print an ork this size, i even modelled him already, i just gotta decide when


Vladyoyo

Of course, i also gave him imperial knight legs


GunSTICK711

Holy shit it’s the guy from Warcomm


Vladyoyo

Shh, im looking for kartofell


kazog

Cant wait to see the paint job… jk, you wont paint it.


Vladyoyo

Im thinking white with red accents armor panels


Mr_Alicates

Is the knight from forge world Barbie?


Vladyoyo

I was thinking he is more of a mechanical police man


Mr_Alicates

I'm a Barbie Knight, from a forge woooorld 🎶🎶


Hellblade87

When the planets original STC AI dosnt wanna put in a lot of resources or detail to its deathmachines but you still gotta fend of the Xenos of the galaxy for the local meat bags.


8888mm

At first I was horrified at the **PINK** Then I realized he's pretty awesome and to scale Noice dude.


Bromjunaar_20

Reminds me of Titanfall in a way. I miss that game.


stopyouveviolatedthe

Sorry your title seems to be wrong let me fix it for you “So I became a Chad”


PUPPIESSSSSS_

I am new to the game, is there any limitation on using your own pieces? I figure local hobby shop won't care, but will competitons allow this?


Vladyoyo

I dont think so, no


Old_Skud

Crunchy


Vladyoyo

Extra


awc130

So that's where all the magenta ink went.


SleepySquid0

Barbie the lost primarch


Anocharr

Must be an ork knight, cant see anything


lordxi

If Freeblade were a PSX game...


Unlucky-Wishbone6860

Polygonus the Lesser


Kriss3d

My daughter loves pink. She'd love it. But she won't love Warhammer. She don't like animals getting hurt in any way... So. Yeah.


Joshh925

Fbi open up!


Lonely-Phone5141

Games workshop™ would like a word with you.


Vladyoyo

I would also like many words with them


Nyuusankininryou

Your table is bork.


Vladyoyo

I cannot argue with that


mrwobblyshark

What is with all the little weirdos downvoting these comments they really want someone to spend like $600 on a knight? Cmon that’s more expensive than a valve index headset


NOWANGSTA

Are you looking at forgeworld knights?? A plastic knight like a Knight Dominus is $145 usd on amazon.


spaghetticlub

Knights don't cost $600... I'll have some of what you're smoking.


Vladyoyo

It may have been an exaggeration, but 600+ is the right ammount in my national currency


mrwobblyshark

Bro I was literally looking at them yesterday


Enderman_Chase

On what site? They getting you good.


mrwobblyshark

GW’s official site and ForgeWorlds


Enderman_Chase

Because of course it’s GW. My local store’s got Canis Rex for 120.


mrwobblyshark

That’s pretty neat but unfortunately for me online would be my only option as I don’t know of any stores around where I live that would even sell warhammer stuff only time I’ve seen anything in person was adeptus titanicus warhounds at a convention


[deleted]

mrwobblyshark

Horus heresy knights on forgeworlds


Vladyoyo

I dont know, but i do respect their opinions


Tomgar

I guess the thing that annoys me is the idea that it doesn't matter if the model looks bad, it's just a gaming piece. Some of us actually like the hobby side of things and would rather have the real thing that looks nice over a cheap, bad-looking 3d print that's just there to act as a gaming token.


mrwobblyshark

I think it looks awesome, ive little interest in the tabletop game itself


[deleted]

You are a disgrace to printers everywhere. This is as waste of perfectly good material. Be ashamed. Mods, restrain me, for I am about to point this moron to some good fucking files.


Vladyoyo

May the machine gods have mercy upon my soul

Behold, the [DOMINUS CRUSADER MK3 CLASSIC ARMOUR (28MM)](https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/dominion-crusader-mk3-classic-armour-28mm)


Vladyoyo

Actually, the next thing the size of a knight i wanna print is a creation if my own, a giant ork with knight legs, you can see it on my account


reallymisterj

Nice job! Now can any kind souls peint me one so i can finally own my first knight!?


Millymoo444

There are 3d printing services out there which you can pay to 3d print what you want


reallymisterj

Yea the only ones i have found are the same price as if i store bought it.


Millymoo444

Then go on eBay and get one second hand


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vladyoyo

Its almost as if i would rather buy a 200€ printer and print the model for about 5€ instead of spending around 120 on it


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vladyoyo

Im very happy with the quality actually, i like the low poly look, you should see my attempt at a scratchbuilt dreadnought tho, i still use it, and i love it as its my own creation


mrwobblyshark

Found the gw employee

Captain_Kavna

So I've taken out my comments because a joke about my spending lots of money on GW should not lead to some misogynistic and totally uncalled for comments on my wife. Atleast you've made it really easy for everyone to spot that you're a lonely incel virgin. Sadly people like you are what perpetuate the image that the whole community is like this


Vladyoyo

Im really sorry that this thread reached that level, thats just uncalled for


Captain_Kavna

Not your fault, although we have opposing views on printing, atleast you were always dignified in your responses


[deleted]

just report that idiot and move on


Captain_Kavna

Did you forget to swap accounts before commenting? And don't worry, I don't care enough about your existence to have not moved on already 🤣


[deleted]

i don't even know anymore


PleaseNotInThatHole

Inferior direct copy from 80's low polygon count games*


Vladyoyo

Whats wrong with low poly models? I find them quite charming


Baugusted

Stop liking things I don't like, stranger! /S


Tronbronson

Looks good, needs some paint!


Vladyoyo

Im thinking of making the armor panels corax white and maybe wild rider red accents, i also hope that i got enough primer to cover it all


Imperialknightdaddy

LOL ”yeah looks legit!”


Vladyoyo

Almost as legit as a shoebox
