This right here! One of the best reasons to purchase a 3D printer. Hate seeing the extra bits go to waste in my bits box.

It looks like you slightly overexposed the prints, which accounts for a lot of the "softness" you're seeing on the edges. On the OG Mars, where your layer exposure times are ~8 sec, drop the exposure 0.5 seconds, and I'll bet you'll find those prints much crisper.

'DOUBLE your Warhammer from just one box!' (plus a 3D printer...)

G.W. need to do something like this. Sell the main body of models in kits and then allow upgrades to be purchased piece by piece and then printed at home. This would reduce waste, reduce their manufacturing needs (so reduce costs) and it would incentivise G.W. to promote kit bashing.

Another handy bit about 3d printing is that you can print pieces to practice painting on before printing the legit stuff

These look superb! Can't tell the difference between them once painted. Awesome work dude! That clip at the end hahahaha

The day I get my hands on an STL file for ironbreaker/irondrake bodies I'll be a very happy person. I easily have 30 models just sitting in my sprew box because they're missing 1 bit.

I feel you, I really do, but… if you’re 3D printing most of the model anyway, why not just 3D print the arms too? Why buy the box?

To fit in with the theme of trench warfare with these guys, you could use the arms and other bits to put in the walls of trenches. This inspiration came from my grandfather telling me a rather disturbing horror story that his dad told him when he fought in the first world war. When soldiers began expanding the trenches they often dug into unmarked burial sites of fallen soldiers.

Great video I love how you use 3d prints to enhance the hobby experience this is how it should be

I always wanted a kreigs grenadier army from forge world. The cost was always to prohibitive. This kit re-sparked my desire a bit, but sadly a lot of forgeworld's lines are being dropped. If I could print that skull mask from the forgeworld mini's that I could throw onto these guys I would be stoked. That mask is sick!

This is the best use of a 3D printer in my opinion, to compliment GW not replace it!!

The really sad part is that back in the day you could put in orders with GW for bits. Just go the the store take a look through the bits book, now they are being asses...looks like it's beyond time to invest in a 3d printer

What a great review, and the consideration of printing 3D figures to be able to utilize the remaining spare parts, is a bonus content for the viewers like me who would not have thought of that option. Thanks very much for your efforts and advice!

where do you get your 3d printing files? also great video😃

Love the effort you put into your films. Thanks for the hard work, and the tips to make the box go further!

Yes brother!!! This is the way.

Double your Warhammer from just one box... and also a 3d printer

GW are gonna be coming for you man, they’re cracking down, you’ll be looking over your shoulder forever!! Great video though.

For those without a 3d printer, War games Atlantic Le Grognards and early war Germans make a great kill team. Especially with th remaining bits.

This is fantastic! I'm totally going to do a similar thing when I get some time, thanks for the recommendation. Subscribed!

These look awesome! Great work. Always liked the look of this army. Btw it's "Death Korps" 👍

Been looking at krieg this video helped a lot on how I could bulk out the box keep smashing it

I do the same with Nids, you can double loads of the bigger models with just one or two parts.

Thanks for this video Benji. I have a new unopened box of Kill Team in my room, as well as a brand new MonoX printer. I know what my first project will be!

Love the quality of your videos. Really very professional and entertaining. How long did it take to make this one?

Your my new best KZfaqr mate, good content keep it up.

the perception that the extra plastic bits are "waste" is driven by how much GW likes to charge for a relatively cheap material. the extra bits are there because selling two of the same box and sprue is cheaper than selling one copy of two different boxes.

Man, I love these jams!

Just found this channel and it is a treat!

I did the same with the Cadian HQ squad during the lockdown, because I wanted to assemble the box art team. but I really hated not building the camo caped, sniper option. and I can confirm that even with a lower end printer, it works out very well. especially if you know what parts are better to print/use official. sometimes, even FDM lines can be hidden of quite nicely. As a detail on a chest plate for example.

I did the same thing but instead of 3d print I recasted chaos spawn body's and used all the bits to build that into full units I was able to get 6 extra models for a two model kit

This is such a great idea, any link to the STL there?

Hello there! Where did you get that awesome paint rack you have in the wall?

I have 3d printed some legs and torsos (which are the rarest kind of parts in any box for obvious reasons) and combined them with space space marine parts and now i have some new true scale space marines. Now im planing to create a part myself and combine it with some tau battle suit parts to create a mech that looks like those on armored core. 3d printing really gives you amazing abilities

Nicely done man they look great. 👏

did you print them in the size of station forge or did you adjust the size? Ive done test print ( free model) and they were a bit taller than the original ones, :)

So amazing 😍where are these boadys from? Do you have a link?

Love the video :) sorry if this has been asked already, but what 3D printer have you got?

And now that you've discovered the benefits of 3d printing your own torsos, it's only a single step from printing the arms and weapons as well, circumventing GW entirely. Why bother buying the models, after all, if you're going to print large portions of them anyway?

If I ever get back into 40k, I'm doing this. The only issue is that the financial barrier to entry shifts to a technical/knowledge barrier to entry.

Love the video...I do the same with almost all my models, I just hate seeing those weapon options go to waste

Can I ask where do I find the Krieg bodies you downloaded? And who made them?

Hey, i was about to do this today, since i just finished building the box, but i have not been able to decide which stl resembles the original the best. Would you be Kind enough to guide me to the stl you used?

Wow - really clever and they do look great!

Great idea!!! I'm the same with my Ork army. 90% of the bitz just stay in the bit box forever. Could I also ask if you have the link for the 3d models?

Great video! Would love to see these model being painted in a video 😉

i will print, bodys for my extra arms and cadian bits so you are doing the right thing

Really cool man! More bang for your buck :D

Wonderfull video. fast explanations and cool examples.

Now that’s how to maximize your hard earned cash. GW kits are expensive, lovely way to increase that army and utilize every bit from the kits. Resin printers are so freaking clutch!

Title: “How to get double the models in the box” Video: “so you see this 3D printer here…”

Nice mate! I skipped kill team but that should be usable for other kids, right?

Love the paintjob, would there be a chance you could do a paint tutorial or an in depth look into assembling them etc?

Awesome! Great work and good choice to print! What is the activator for? Does it just set the glue faster?

are these able to be played in regular outside of killteam

Thats a great idea! I really need to get my printer going so I can shamelessly steal your idea 😆

what is/are the files you used? where did you purchase them?

The daemon prince model kit has enough spares to build two full princes if you make or buy a second pair of legs

Great work! I am still not sure if I want to buy the box. I don't like the design of the buildings and besides of Kill Team I have no use for Orks or Imperial Guard. But those models, especially from the Deathkorp of Krieg, are looking really cool. Also the guns and the bits could be used on other models too, to create a more individual look. But the box is pretty expensive. I wish GW would say that they will sell the models later on separately.

Where did you find the body files? I'm looking everywhere. :/

Great video. Can you please share the link to the 3d printer files, thanks

Most excellent Benji, 👌

This was one of my biggest problems I really hate not being able to have all options of an army but my friend and I decided to share the expenses of a 3d printer an it was the best idea ever

I'm just going to print my first DKOK models, what is the correct size in millimeters to match the ones GW sells?. And where i buy this models 🤯

Surprisingly nice turnout on the printed lads, thought the leaner legs and smaller mask would look too janky next to the kits own models, but it’ll easily pass the 5’ rule. Definitely helps since GW pulled a GW and made it so that the kit doesn’t even make a complete Veteran Guardsmen Kill Team (4 bodies short of 10 guardsmen AND the ancillary support which consists of 4 additional troopers)

I am new to 3d printing, those models look great. Do you still have STL file for the models shown in this video?

I 3D printed the exact same bodies to expand my kill team kitt. When I was missing an arm I used some necron arms since I figured someone would need to have theirs replaced.

Was wondering if you have a link to the bodies where I can find the stl files

Hi Benji, what kind of glue are you using?

Printer goes Brrrr. Great stuff bud 😁 there are lots of great STLs out there to do this sort of stuff with or even well just print off whole models or bits!!

Which STL did you use for the extra bodies? Thanks in advance

what's that in the sky ? oh a GW pigeon carrying a cease and decist order.

Wasn't clear in the video but do you do a UV cure after cleaning? That I supposed to help with them feeling soft.

Could you please tell what kind of glue with that tiny brush that is you used?

Can you link where you bought the extra needed stl files so i can create another 50 of ma dudes

Where did you find the particular stl file online?

I’d like to do this also but am having difficulty finding stl file for Krieg bodies like these. Would you share the link for this stl files?

they look amazing, where did you get the stl file to print ???

Nicely done.

Do you mind telling me what printer you used for your models?

What site did you use?

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

Im so glad I found your channel and this episode. I had the same issue with not wanting to let the krieg bits to end up sitting. Then I remembered that I had printed some out a while back. Did the same thing as you did. They are a few mills bigger but...Once their in the middle of the rest of the GW ones they blend right in. And you get all the options.. Because there are at least 2 per model. Some with three.. Only issue I found was the gunner arm part number 73 i believe has only one.. So getting all three specialty gunners you will need either a second kit or blue stuff the arm bit.

You got the link to the STL ?

Where did u found the files

As an ork player most of my bits went into other boyz. I honestly feel bad for people who play imperium armies, those bits are basically just going to sit in a drawer.

the mars pro is honestly one of the best machines, just play around with the anti-aliasing setting to help sharpen the details and remove lines

Do you have the link for those Krieg bodies?

have done this with the hive tyrant and with a box of zoanthropes... printed out the chest for a hive tyrant and ended up with a full swarmlord and 4 tail pieces for the zoanthropes and a bit of kitbashing and ended up with 3 extra venomthropes and a neurothrope from 1 box. so with printing only 5 pieces i ended up with 5 extra models to play with

u did exdently make them more realistic man the boots look like e by the printetd ones like the german ww1 boots ..... love it if u paint the boots just black wold be look mor autentik butr nice art

God.... I really need to get a 3d printer :P nice work man!

Benji, can you post your Elegoo Mars settings? I keep getting failed prints, and yours came out great!

Ace idea just got this kit. Need a 3D printer now lol.

Where did u find the body stl files for the kreig.

it's where GW miss the point. They could sell STL for extra bits/options instead of fighting it. Not every one want to invest in a 3D printer (or have a really good one), but for extra bits and kitbashing it's great. Don't fight the progress, embrace it !

Can anybody tell me what's the spray he is using after applying super glue?

Just looking for the same STL files, where are they from?

With so many arms, heads and weapons loose, printing bodies makes absolute sense, I could easily get 6 more _Carnifexes_ or 60 more _Termagaunts_ for 10 bucks, for each...

Tmw I'm glad I don't have a printer as my pile of shame would grow exponentially. Good idea though ☺
