Agree, though the fact the resin ones from an earlier batch looks great mean that I think these would too.

Would love to see some with colour (inks I'm thinking will work on these nicely).

I think it's a little difficult to tell how things will sometmes look from just the 3d renders, still getting used to it myself!

I've been speaking to zealot miniatures and hope to get Queen aphrodite, basic Estelorian troops and the main vehicle produced in resin though.

After that, I'm not sure which faction ill do next...

Also kinda "off topic" but I've been designing an alien race for warhammer 40k for a competition on beasts of war :

It was mostly done for practice and to get some attention to myself using the 40k brand (yeah being totally shameless I know

) I tried to design it as if it was going to be a real kit, which is why the variants look similar.

Of course being a total nerd I also made this too :

Beasts of war actually gave my stuff a bit of a shoutout on their weekender show today which totally made my whole week :

It's at roughly 12:40 ish

Now why didn't those Paramours exist back when I was kitbashing Tyranid starships for Battlefleet Gothic?

For that matter, why don't they exist now? Go get somebody (Studio Bergstrom?) to cast them in metal for us so we can actually play with them. Too cool to stay digital.

I'm 3d-printing a single one for a diorama, but they aren't able to be cast up. The reason I was given was "with so many hooked spikes and things in all directions, it would not be possible to cast it im afraid"

The final Prymarsiam unit, a squad of assassins!

I decided to send the 3d fiiles to Zealot miniatures, just waiting for a quote and hopefully I'll get some stuff printed and cast in the next month or two.

I went with the Fhosphren faction in the end :

Allthough, I've started working on another new one too :

Unfortuantly Zealot said they are unable to cast them

I'll have to find somewhere else, anyone know anywhere else?
Guess I'll need someone with more advanced capabilities.

Anyway, they do look like pretty complex things to cast, don't they? Can't help you with casters unfortunately. Prodos looks popular but using them won't do your rep favours around these parts. Also, weren't you talking with the folks at Trollforged back in the day, do they use Zealot or was there another reason you decided to not go with them?

TheBlueShoggoth · « **Reply #146 on:** February 20, 2017, 05:20:49 PM »

Prodos don't do that kind of service anymore. I've contacted a few others including Mierce miniatures though. I'm not defeated yet! Mierce said their casting was very expensive so not sure ill be able to afford them but they were quite reassuring about my miniatures :

We do offer a casting service for people; I do warn you, we are quite expensive but we are the best (and I do not say that lightly).

First things first - let's have a look at what you're wanting casting, and I'll see what we can do. Even if there are lots of thin spikes, all that needs to be done is for them to be cut, as you say - it's certainly not impossible to cast any miniature, no matter how complex. Just depends how many parts you want ;o)

Ballardian · « **Reply #147 on:** February 21, 2017, 04:21:11 PM »

Here are a couple of other companies that'll produce the masters & casts for you, though I can't speak as to the price for your designs.

moddler.com

maxmini3d.eu

Moddler have a gallery to check out their work, but again, they're not cheap, while Maxmini have a pretty proven track record of mini & conversion bit production, so may have a better idea of what you need - again, I can't speak as to how they'd compare to Mierce (though I know their minis are generally excellent).
Hope that's of some use!

TheBlueShoggoth · « **Reply #148 on:** February 22, 2017, 11:36:08 AM »

Thankyou very much, I'll definitely contact both. Appreciate the info

Any chance we’ll ever see any of these figs commercially available?
