nothing against the minis but they look more like from Infinity

If you want to paint some fists, and have yellow ink/contrast, do the pink approach. Can put pink in the shaded/normal area, use a white ink to highlight etc, and then spray yellow ink/contrast over the top. This turns the pink in to orange, and gives a really dark, noticeable gradient, that really pops. Dana howl did it on some tyranids once, it's gorgeous.

While I like some parts of them I find them too boxy for my taste, I prefer GW ones cause they have more spherical elements

This feels like an 8min long advert for a company that sponsored the video. The more interesting question for me is whether you would consider the models in the same light if they did not sponsor the video? Do the models stand up on their own right? Liking your content for the most part, keep up the good work!

I've printed a few of these and the rotor strikers. They're chunky and aggressive and a joy to paint. Also you can leave the jet packs off, put on some applicable power-packs and have some great "primaris" sized marine squads. I love the versatility of the magnet option.

I like how you chose Pokemon Starter game colors, I was a Red kid but that Yellow is tempting

The thing I like about PuppetsWar is they have a huge catalogue of specialty heads. So even if you don't want to buy or print the whole models, you can stick them on regular Space Marines to really differentiate them.

Crisp sound, really makes a video a joy to watch. Also great contend dude

White Scars

My man! I am in the middle of editing a video with these guys as well, I'm making a diorama with the Jet Back Strikers, Rocket Orcs and Winged bug warriors, should have the video out in a few days. These are really nice miniatures. I have had a great experience with these files as well. Keep up the great content.

Is it the Mary sue ultramarines? The stoic fists? Or the bezerker blood angels? Yes that's right... It's the snoot booping salamanders.

Babs you weren't wrong about basement dwellers having a crywank about the marines not looking the same as GW. Mine's going live soon, can't wait!

These look good. For other spacemarine-like models i recommend Anvil Industries' "exo lords", they have a more realistic militaristic look to them, so anyone who wants realistic and less sci fi looking marines should pick them up

they're interesting for sure but not better than GW space marines (I'm fully supportive of 3d printing so don't bother calling me a GW fan boy)

Saying the blood angels are vampires because they drink blood is like saying cannibals are zombies because they eat brains.

These look amazing, Benji! I'm going to have to get some of these! Awesome work on the paint jobs, too! ~ Wolfbrother Methos

If you don't have a printer, Puppetswar sells the printed pieces too. I haven't tried their space marines, but I'm using their heads for Imperial Guard and they fit perfectly, especially on the new Cadian infantry! 👍⭐⭐⭐

My entire Scions army is made up of Puppet’s models !

Cool Proxy Space Marines!!!! All the paint work is awesome. I haven’t yet made or painted any Space Marines so I couldn’t choose one over the others.

Puppetswar, Kromlech and Anvil Industries are my fave 3rd party bits and proxies.

Couldn't help but notice that your 3 favorite factions were the same 3 that rallied the 2nd empire during the Horus Herecy and the war for Terra... I've found many have the same 3 favorites, those being the sons of Guilliman, Sanguinius, and Dorn. The lore surrounding them is hard to beat.

Might need to pick some of these up! Great video thanks

The models really look cool, they kinda blend some elements from StarCraft, as they look a bit more militaristic than the traditional warrior monk space marines. On the other hand I really don't like the jump packs: they are too large and the way they protude way from the marines's backs is really weird, I would rather have them more flush with the marine's backs. I would certainly print out some traditional assault marine jump packs and use them instead, they are still the best looking jetpacks in SciFi IMO 😅 I wonder how those puppetswar marines compare to both firstborn and Primaris in size, though.

Wouldn't be bad for doing onepagerules stuff either, I like these marines. They give a very 80's centurion feel. and I LOVED that show growing up.

There are quite a few bits from Puppets War i like, but not the general look of most complete miniatures. I regurlarly recognize some PW bits on some models, also a lot on YT. I LOVE their BIG MOMMA cannon that fits on a Rhino, and with some fiddling in a Land Raider. They also have some cool scenery.

Bye the way, a tip for push fit models. Yes I know these were not push fit but the thought occurred while I was typing. You know that it is difficult to push models together that have those little pin and plugs without leaving a gap. The reason this is the case is the pin is so snug fitting into the plug that there is no room for the air to escape and you actually create a pressure imbalance that stops the parts coming together. You could actually damage the model with the pressure required for a flush fit. Two solutions. 1 Shorten the length of the pin by half which will get you a closer fit. 2 With a really fine drill bit in your pin vice, drill into the plug holes at the bottom or at an angle finishing at the bottom to allow air to escape. More of the pin goes into the plug which is better if you don't want to use glue.

this just looks like tau marines not in the mcmarket for them atm, but i'll keep em in mind

Actually, I think these would be amazing for some Tau Marines. The angularity and flat panels would make them blend right in with some Battlesuits and Fire Warriors.

I can imagine my local GW store throwing a fit if they ever see these models haha

I like these models,but I wouldn't say that they are better than original gw mini's

They could be used to kitbash Gue‘vesa‘s, Tau-Spacemarines

Hey Benji, great channel! I found your video on creating more Veteran Guardsmen from the Kill Team boxed set. You can do the same with your extra arms in the Deathwatch Veterans boxed. I made 14 marines from that box. I had a question with your wash and cure station. Are you using alcohol or something else like simple green? How often do you have to change the liquid? I have these questions because in the video when you turn it on you can see the cloud of sediment that gets stirred up.

I'd paint them as star dragons their faces give you an opportunity to paint the ritual scaring which then have lights stuck in, love puppet wars minis

What do you use to wash your minis? I have the same cleaner but have troubles cleaning sometimes

How is it that so many of these Warhammer Hobby youtubers also have super pleasing and easy to listen to speaking voices 😂😂☝☝☝ thanks for the video, good stuff man ! Just discovering your channel, I love your style, your speaking voice and narration style is extremely professional 👌 great video. Keep it up 💪💪

I absolutely love the back packs !

Great video! Those minis look sick, just as good as the GW ones. Also after watching this I think I went a little over the top on my mercury plus wash station plug...😅

*Laughs in terminator armour.

You know what these are? 50k marines, the boxy armour comes as standard, due to further protection/reinforcement with the plate, also integrated are pistons to further increase the users movements. A new lighterweight compound is discovered and used , giving standard line troops the same protection as terminators with all the benefits of artificer armour.....tendons of the marine and fibre strands are connected to the suit, sealing them in, the suit hosts more functions than ever to compensate for extended use. Repair is a matter of the biological and mechanical. An easy explanation for the design.

Very nice alternative models to space marines. Getting more tempted for a resin printer this year!

They look great mate! Love the big chunky packs! The blood angel is my favourite I think

The Mars pro two has a filter in it, doesn't it? I was going to get the mars 3, but don't think it has one. Also with Contrast through the AB, do you thin it at all with medium? I'm picking up either the CoP Evo or Infinity next month. I was thinking of getting a 3D printer as well, but I think I'll wait till I can afford the wash and curing station at the same time. Means I can spend more on getting my air brush station up and running this month. How are you finding the little Sparmax as well, please? is it the tankless one, how loud it is? I was thinking about getting the bundle with the sparmax, but might get a compressor with a tank instead. The small size is appealing TBH though. You can get one with a tank, but Artis Opus don't have it any more, and it's quite a bit more expensive from Element.

I recently placed my first order with Puppetswar for a few parts I'm using on a custom Terminator. I was happy to see there wasn't much flashing or anything I had to clean off, and the parts don't feel brittle. I can't say I'd recommend these as replacements for GW models because they are SO different, but they're definitely good quality for decent prices.

Sold on them! Thanks for the tips!

I want to like the style of these models but something, especially in the final (and nicely) painted product just doesn't gel. I mean, if I were to look at these I would call them cool but...not better. I do believe a lot of comments nailed it with these being more of a "spaces but in a different game universe". The edges make the model busy and doesn't let the person "look" at the model cleanly, more time is spent figuring out what stops where instead of seeing cool details which there isn't much of, more reliance on sharp edges and sudden raises to create interesting shapes than more subtle details. Taking a look at some GW space marines I have and comparing to these in the video, these guys have that "trying hard" energy to them while standard marines just flow. Certainly I feel there is a certain stylistic choice GW makes in that their models will tend towards having some form of curves in their design, trying extremely hard not to have straight lines unless on tanks (and that tends to be only for imperium). These guys are all hard lines, hard edges and little to no smooth surfaces. I know it sounds weird to say but they are "uncomfortable" to look at, your eyes constantly having to go across hard edges over and over again. Not that they aren't nice but the end product just feels flat, the lack of subtle details you find on GW models just helps them pop. Hard to convey my words. Again, nice looking models but certainly not better. (and wouldn't call them bad ether, would be kind of cool to see an army of this style across the table).

I got these models through patreon. I had no idea they looked this good.

Daaaamn, those marines looks more futuristic than greater gooders, with them you can crank up milenial clock from 40 to 80 with no heresy attached!

Great video, as far as which other chapters would have been cool, with the slightly more futuristic equipment of the PuppetsWar minitures, maybe a Salamanders colour scheme would have worked by saying the jump packs are a new design that Vulcan was working on before his disappearance.

Hey I've got the same compressor as you but you don't have the bullet or valve attached to your airbrush. Is ot safe to attach them at the other end? I often find my little finger moved the valve dial and changed my pressure mid project so would LOVE to attach then at the compressor end.

a littl trick I picked up recently from a pro painter. foe edge highlighting you don't want thinned paint, it should be drier, as it's almost like a controlled dry brush. you can get much crisper lines this way. Honestly I never would have thought of this. Unfortunately I've not tried it myself yet, so I don't know exactly how dry you want the paint to be. Might be worth testing it ut though.

Corvus Belli’s Military Orders for their game Infinity.

Blood Angels were, and still arey first Legion. I have played White Scars, and Dark Angels lists, but find Blood Angels are still mu go to. Since I have branched to CSM. Great video, great looking models.

They look really cool!

Now with a 3D printer a modeler can make every mini he wants. These minis are really beautiful, but the only real problem is the cost of the whole hardware, you need not only the printer, but also the accessories for curing the resin.

Thank you , Benji . 🐺

I've just discovered your channel and you make some pretty great videos keep up the good work. One question about your hobby shed, what did you use to heat it? I also have a hobby room which I built in my barn and in my area of the US the winters are pretty extreme so I need a way to keep my paints warm so they don't get ruined from being frozen.

what are your slicer settings for your printer? and which resin ya use?

Really awesome video man! Can I ask what your airbrush settings are please? Your work seems very smooth and fine!

Love your editing, whats the outro music?

Im an 8 dollar Patreon of theirs. I love the orks

Did you thin the contrast paints down when you applied them?

love those minis - enjoyed the video!! -- MORE!

I think the whole reason for magnets was saving money on buying 2 or 3 of the same box from GW. now that we can print for cents I just glue everything and print another if I want a 2nd version.

I see what you like about em but I like the rounded shapes of spehs mareenz what space marines might be missing is a few details on the helmet and backpack, but I know they should remain minimal cause in the end they are miniatures. designwise they are great

Great job man, they are some great models. Is that the set with Jazza in it???

The contrast imperial fist is superb.

So question, what's the cheapest 3D printer I can get in American currency that will print out these guys in great condition

I really can't pick just one chapter so my preferred is actually going with deathwatch and I can make any chapter as well as some more obscure chapters as long as I can get my hands on a shoulder peace for it and I like how their shoulders can pop that way I was like the look that they're all deathwatch but like oh he's a ultramarine wait that's a dark angel hey that's a blood Angel that's also a blood Raven Etc

do the bits work with other minis?

Tortuga Bay's monopose resin print bodies, MKII thru to MKVI are pretty good too.

This video title is pure unadulterated heresy

really like Puppets War myself as well, I really like how they are making each release being able to mixed and matched :-) There are a couple of creators I think are way better than GW stuff tbh.

definitely have gundam angles and servo bits motiff, but compared to the rounded cinderblocks of GW, these look pretty decent. maybe make the pistols and rifles 1.5x bigger and they would look pretty dang good.

Puppetswar make some great stuff, been meaning to pick up some of their heads and shoulder pads for a while now. Personally with a bit of tweaking I could see these making for some great looking Survivors of The Dark Age models for a Horus Heresy Imperial Militia army.

I made a 1k point army of these, although I did reduce the size of the jetpacks, for OPR. BTW, did you check out the biker files? I think they're my favorite models from PuppetWars.

They would make good tau aligned space marines tbh

Yes Inquisitor. This video right there. X)

So Benji for those who do not have printers or have no wish to buy them, where could we purchase said models already printed off or is this purely for home creation?

Love it, I don’t need more minis to print though… or do i

welll good stuff like em but QQQ?? does pupet wars print out minis ?? just had ask and like jet packs with wing clever a might re do on the ones i got wings make cents fore jet packs post will see what post nest time

There should be a clarification that these are the best space marine models, but not actual 40k space marines since they have no linking design details to those models or actual 40k space marines outside the fact they have big chunky armor

Best Transformer minis ever.

Great video love these minis they remind me of the troops from gears of war or unreal tournament

If those look as Space Marines to you, than you would not notice difference if I would put rubber Smurfs miniatures on the table... That being said, those minis look really great! It's just generic futuristic soldier, his armor should be sterile white, or military green, not heraldic red blue or something. There is not a single bit in this edgy armor which says 'we don't know how to make those anymore, so we just copying and pasting'... (and I don't see nothing wrong in playing with Smurfs either!)

i chose the Dark Angels, I just love the mystery that surrounds them

I like the pose ability but I think these look a bit too modern Gundam-ish for me amd I prefer a bit more old school space punk crusader heresy look. Nice job though painting them!

Are puppetswar miniatures print-only?

They look like Tau Auxillary Marines. I wanna see one painted in the T'au or Sa'cea Sept colour scheme.

I will get into 3D printing this year. I will get into 3D printing this year. I will get into 3D printing this year. I will get into 3D printing this year. I will get into 3D printing this year. 🤣

Tries to use these in a game Gw" hey those aren't our models. Get out" Sad but true

I like your points and I see the resemberlance , but I bought 2 x veterans and one tactical squad for 500pts of lamentors. I prefer GW marines but again like your ideas 💡 everyone's hobby is different

I generally find Space Marines to be boring as heck, but these look proper cool! The Orcs look super interesting, as well! Great video, Benji.

The minis lack the 30k 40k vibes

They look like Tau Space Marine recruits w

Looks good

Shame the price is more prohibitive than GW for anoyone in aus/nz, dunno about the self-print ones but a set of heads and jumppacks cost about the same as a full squad. Shipping is NOT fast either

These look nice, but they dont look like Space Marines, they have a way to high tech look for the imperium, however I could see them as Human Defectors that joined the Tao.

The resin is not safe to touch until it is cured. Don't put uncured parts into the curing station without gloves.

Could really see these as a KT alternative. How I wish more companies had pre'sockets for magnets.

Yeah I don't understand why GW still insists on it's ridiculous prices they know 3D printing is a thing that exists now right? Like...Come on, the jig is up. Time to bring that shit down a little.
