I procrastinate from my real work by designing retro miniatures, you can find them all here https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/creations
I think I saw you post that you had used some different models, but I said that I would send you a link when they were up so here you go https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/retro-gothic-ruins
Can’t wait to read your battle report.
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.
Great bunch of lads, you know you can pop the exosuits on bikes?

I know! I downloaded it here if you have a printer

He’s got a pretty cool Skullhammer on there too.
Your post about that here inspired this project.
I’m still working through the last few ruins, but once they are done it will be up on my Cults 3D page. I don’t have a fixed timescale, but some time this year (it might be next week, it might be next month, it might be a little longer, real life dictates the time I have to work on it a the moment).
Which retro ork prints are you using? I know that there are scans of the 2nd edition starter models floating around, but if you want something a bit more dynamic Jazzmantis/Red Nebular has some lovely free and paid options.
I have a fairly bizarre workflow due to my background in 3D modelling (I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone). I did the early concept work in an old copy of Sketch-up pro (for speed), finished it off in blender and then re-scaled the models in Cura (because it’s less of a faff than doing it in blender).
As you asked, it’s up on my cult profile now.
There is, but they aren’t very active I’m afraid. These models are available for free on thingiverse:

The same person does does better quality paid designs under the name Red Nebular these days:

If you are likely to buy a few things from them join their patreon.
And if you want something to proxy as a truck you can find a lovely retro model here:

If you have any other questions let me know, I’m in the process of trying to build a retro 3D printed ork army.
