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)\_/¯
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
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
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
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.
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!
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
I AM LOW POLYUS THE PINK. TREMBLE IN MY PRESENCE
Hehehhehehee Jokes aside Kind of like the name Low Polyus.
Lopolius is a convincing faux latin name that actually sounds pretty good
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
Please take pics of this
I will, with tears of joy at the panic of the players
Read it as Low Polypus, did not enjoy it, made me think of ass cancer..
Lygo Pollus
Dont forget the machine spirit roar
*Too loud pixelated blurp*
That is just really loud 56k modem.
By the emperor Trayzen has stolen my resolution!
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.
Then i shall hire a sniper team to snipe their sniper team
They have been liquidated by the feral goat farmer Militia. They shall be remembered.
But then who will snipe the sniper snipers?
Sniper sniper snipers
Ork snipers
And make them purple so they cant also be sniped
And the sniper sniper snipers freeze to death in winter...
Then i know just the sniper for that situation
Sniper no sniping! *cute Dora voice*
Why hire them when you can print them?
Oh my god, you just broke the system. I gotta start printing, im gonna go conquer russia
send in lopolius
Why hire, when you print one?!
Eversor assassin. Gotta be sure.
It’s alright, the shield is on the opposite side. Therefore it is a completely new creation /s
I’m afraid it’s too late, war has broken out.
It’s alright, the shield is on the opposite side. Therefore it is a completely new creation /s
You wouldn’t download a baneblade
The 3D Printer Revolution has taught me that yes, I would 100% download a car and literally anything else
We've been trying ever since they told us we couldn't.
I would and I have and nobody can stop me and my army of baneblades!
i poligonius printus from the clan printus wielder of the mighty sun piercer son of lord third printus defender of the deks system
You just gave the perfect reason for the low ammount of polygons, thank you you international hero
You can find the rules online, it got -pedia at the end of it.
Oh ok, thanks
wahapedia, best website ever :)
I don't trust the .ru though

I need a knight in my life
Dont we all?
We all need at least 3 lmao
True, and a warlord behind thoose 3
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
I feel you, i have an attempt at a scratchbuilt dreanought, you can see the thing on my account if you want
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
I also did 2 necrons out of lego skeletons and a necron head
Have fun filing those surfaces down. :p
What do you mean with that? No /s..

Sandable automotive primer helps a lot with this.
True, but you'll lose details. It isn't as important for a knight, but it still has little rivets and things.
That’s why you play Orcs and just call the imperfections part of the aesthetic.
That's awesome. You can customise it as you want.
Textures haven’t loaded
Yeah, you gotta make some sacrifices to get some playable fps
If you paint that keep it pink i beg you
I am very sorry to tell you that i already primed it corax white
This is why fulgrim pink exists :)
I have some aesthetic pink and blue knights! Not hot pink though sadly https://imgur.io/a/6Lzo1nd
This looks like an old school starfox boss and I absolutely love it!
Do a barrel roll
This is what I was looking for. I was not disappointed.
Why would you print such a low poly file when there’s multiple free versions that are way better?
I thought it looked interesting with the low ammount of polygons
The low poly look is charming. I can almost see if move in a PS1 game.
Paint him in synthwave and he'll be amazing
Thats reserved for whenever i decide to print out some tyranids
Hell of a lot cheaper than a real one
And i think also slightly larger
Knice job Okay I'll see myself out
Dont worry, but i gotta say, it was a *knight*mare to remove all the supports
Cue "we have knight at home" meme.
Make that and ill send you a virtual hug
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!
I will check it out, thanks
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?
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
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
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
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.
Yall got any more of them polly gons?
Nah bro, they ran out of them at the polyshop, i bought the entire stock
Now they are all polly gone
Dang, had i seen this sooner i would have made the joke alredy made
Wahapedia
Phew....
A pink that will strike fear into the hearts of men and women alike
STL file?
Do you have the stl file for this?
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/imperial-knight-crusader/3d-printing
Whoa, how many hours/print sessions did this take? And did you use 100% infill?
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%
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.
Well, the total cost of this one is around 5-6€, an official model is about 120€, everything unpainted of course
He's very A N G U L A R
He really liked geometry in school
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?
Most probably not in official ones, and for ones held by hobby shops, i think it depends on the owner
Is it just me imagination or is it a little bigger than the real one?
I have no idea, i never seen one in person
STCs be like
Sark the pink of the house of Tron!
Hey wait a minute your that guy with the grug pfp in that one war thunder server Very cool knight tho
Yep, thats me
So, didn't just go with the Dominion Crusader files? Those look fine in FDM, in my opinion.
Ill keep that in mind for the future
DIS MAKES ORKZ HAPPEZ
I actually want to print an ork this size, i even modelled him already, i just gotta decide when
Of course, i also gave him imperial knight legs
Holy shit it’s the guy from Warcomm
Shh, im looking for kartofell
Cant wait to see the paint job… jk, you wont paint it.
Im thinking white with red accents armor panels
Is the knight from forge world Barbie?
I was thinking he is more of a mechanical police man
I'm a Barbie Knight, from a forge woooorld 🎶🎶
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.
At first I was horrified at the **PINK** Then I realized he's pretty awesome and to scale Noice dude.
Reminds me of Titanfall in a way. I miss that game.
Sorry your title seems to be wrong let me fix it for you “So I became a Chad”
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?
I dont think so, no
Crunchy
Extra
So that's where all the magenta ink went.
Barbie the lost primarch
Must be an ork knight, cant see anything
If Freeblade were a PSX game...
Polygonus the Lesser
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.
Fbi open up!
Games workshop™ would like a word with you.
I would also like many words with them
Your table is bork.
I cannot argue with that
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
Are you looking at forgeworld knights?? A plastic knight like a Knight Dominus is $145 usd on amazon.
Knights don't cost $600... I'll have some of what you're smoking.
It may have been an exaggeration, but 600+ is the right ammount in my national currency
Bro I was literally looking at them yesterday
On what site? They getting you good.
GW’s official site and ForgeWorlds
Because of course it’s GW. My local store’s got Canis Rex for 120.
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

Horus heresy knights on forgeworlds
I dont know, but i do respect their opinions
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.
I think it looks awesome, ive little interest in the tabletop game itself

Behold, the [DOMINUS CRUSADER MK3 CLASSIC ARMOUR (28MM)](https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/dominion-crusader-mk3-classic-armour-28mm)
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
Nice job! Now can any kind souls peint me one so i can finally own my first knight!?
There are 3d printing services out there which you can pay to 3d print what you want
Yea the only ones i have found are the same price as if i store bought it.
Then go on eBay and get one second hand
[удалено]
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
[удалено]
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

Not your fault, although we have opposing views on printing, atleast you were always dignified in your responses
just report that idiot and move on
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 🤣
i don't even know anymore
Inferior direct copy from 80's low polygon count games*
Whats wrong with low poly models? I find them quite charming
Stop liking things I don't like, stranger! /S
Looks good, needs some paint!
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
LOL ”yeah looks legit!”
Almost as legit as a shoebox

Ill do you one better, why not?

you should post this on r/PrintedWarhammer too, mista, fine folks ova there!
