There was a time when, to play in an official tournament, the rule was 50% of the model had to be official GW parts. I once played using micromachines ATSTs converted to Guard Sentinal walkers because they didn't have any out at the time. I heard not too long ago that you could get disqualified if you had anything that was 3d printed. IDK if that is true or not, but with current GW, it wouldn't surprise me.

The local RTTs and GTs have had to relax their policies on 3d prints mostly because GW is not keeping up with demand.

To be honest, this models is not the main product that we have in Russia. Nowdays it is pretty hard to get GW plastic, and, because of the situation in the world, it costs MUCH MORE then before 2022. Of course, a lot of people want to save their money, and we are not going to argue about this stuff in our local communities. I`m living in the Far East of Russia, and the main target here is to play game with friends

lol they literally scammed me on my first big order (arround 200usd). they went even so far as to forge my signature upon delivery of the shipment. Luckily due to some serious telephone terror at Fedex and paypal, they refunded all of my money (despite wartablegames responding with the forged signature at first). The shipping nr at fedex did belong to a totally different person, fedex even sent the official documents to me after some serious conversation about data protection. That was the final straw i needed to convince paypal for the refund. It was a hard fought battle but a just one. Afterwards I filed the documented incident to my hobbyfriends who also ordered without delivery. Upon opening a conflict at paypal they also got refunded without any further inquirements. Paypal did not receive any further messages from wartable since.

As someone who can safely safe they have purchased basically a forge world army, I would say maybe. There is obviously a lot of risk when purchasing from a illegitimate sight. Yes it is cheaper and are basically the same quality as Warhammer(old FW). Cons are the legitimacy and the wait time for the products to arrive due to them having to made to order and also shipping. I did it as the cost outweighed the ludicrous price to start an army that FW+Warhammer push these days. I also this this is why people start 3D printing because of you really think about it, the prices are ludicrous and almost insanity.

Keep in mind that some of the best recasters are 100% private circles where you often need to have someone trustworthy to give you access to their service. This is because unless they are in countries such as China that have little care for IP laws, Games workshop (And 100% rightfully so) will hunt them.

Actually, those would be the 3D scanners who do incredibly clean scans of GW stuff for 3d printing. Their an incredibly reclusive circle of people who pretty much have some amazing DIY scanners. If GW got a whiff of what these guys were doing, they would legit hunt them down because the quality is unreal for the most part and a legitimate threat to their business, no joke. Iv seen one guy scan some Astartes models and youd swear they were the source files directly from GW's design team, their THAT clean. Imagine 3d printing the complete FW Elysian range, or a complete range of either Praetorians, Cadians, Tallarns, or Mordians. Those guys are the real threat to GW, but like I said, their incredibly reclusive and extremely closed to outsiders. You can find some good casters if you dig a bit in google, but with scanners, you need to know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy to get in.

Dark miniatures DO NOT make individual parts. They print sprues. They send and cut the individual parts to save costs with shipping (smaller package) and reuse the sprues. They now offer the option to buy the sprues, at increased cost. They explained it on their telegram. This likely also goes for black legion market.

No that is is not even close to true. You can get any Forgeworld model recast for 20% of the cost and shipping from FW is just as expensive. And as long as you buy more than 1 thing at a time the shipping is not a factor at all.

Seriously you’re whingeing over nothing. Obviously it’s for the best that GW doesn’t see this but like as the consumers of their products it’s good for us to know that we aren’t pigeon holed. Not everyone knows about these sites and having the information out there so more people are looking is better than having an “ol boys club.” It’s a sad mentality that you’d prefer to keep your goodies to yourself than uplift and assist your brothers. Plus if a few sites go down temporarily it means nothing there’s clearly always going to be more and they’ll come back because GW doesn’t have the control they think they do/ want to.
