I like them, but I'm not too fussy about my paints. Some of the colours come out really nice an vibrant, the red and turquoise on this model are both Coat De Arms.
They are a lot like the citadel paints from the late 80s, although I'm not sure that is a good thing for most folks. Compared to modern paint they are quite thin and need at least two (often more) coast to get decent coverage.

I look forward to seeing them painted up. Did everything print well?
It's a classic model that I'll probably do at some point.
😂 Interesting, how does this picture make your back feel?
Can you find anyone who provides samples?
I have used this website (UK based so no help to you I'm afraid) in the past and they provide small quantities of filament for you try https://3dfilaprint.com/filament-samples/
Might be worth having a look around to see if there is anyone stateside who does a similar service.

I've packed these guys away as I'll not be doing much with them for a while, but I'll post other FDM 3D printed minis and try to get some better pictures. I'm fairly new to miniature photography, but I'm learning so hopefully future photos will show details better.
Progress has sort of stalled on the rest of the mob, but I thought you might like to see the first three members of my Gorkamorka boys.

These were printed on my Ender 3 with a 0.2mm nozzle.
Thanks, I've been practicing making models that don't need supports to print in FDM for a while. It really helps the finished pieces look clean when printed.
Maybe I'll make an ork add-on kit at some point, I plan to use all my early test prints to make a looted one for my orks as I can just cover over all the bad bits with random armour plates.
I'll post again when it's up on cults.
The tanks has some generic weapons attached to it in this picture. The rows in front show the other weapons options that will be available, the larger seven can be mounted to the turret and the smaller five can be fitted to the sponsons or hull.
I've just finished tweaking this Leman Russ proxy, inspired by the very original model released for Epic back in the 80s. It's designed to be easy to print in FDM (no supports required for printing), the one pictured was printed on a stock Ender 3.
I'm fairly happy with how this one turned out, I've a little bit of tidying up to do, but hope to have the model up on Cults3D next week.

Yes and yes and thank you.
They were printed on a stock Ender 3 (okay I replaced the plastic extruder with a metal one, but that makes absolutely no difference to the print quality). I also used a 0.2mm nozzle and a lot of patience.
The guardsmen were printed from scans of the original 80s plastic kit the ogryns are scans of the 90s metal ones and the commissar is from cults3d.
All printed on an Ender 3 with a 0.2mm nozzle (apart from the bases, they used a 0.4mm nozzle, I'm not insane).
