These are my Puppetwar 3d printed 18mm Enforcers. They are printed at approximately 22mm so as to compare well to my 18mm human metal minis. This is the same scale I use for Wh40k .
Humans -18mm, Space Marines 22mm, Terminators 25mm etc. 2 Euro cent piece for scale.
Puppetwar make great minis but obviously scaling down , 3D printing. kitbashing, building & painting them at 18mm scale has its pros & cons.
I really wish they would do scaled down ready built 18mm versions. Others do it so I would not think it is difficult to do.
Printing them at 32mm or bigger really shows their detail & they would be good as WH40K proxies.
The Bushi one, shown below & painted as a White Scar is a great example ( this mini was printed , so to say, out of the box as is & came out at around 40mm ) . Their minis are designed for their system , so keep this in mind if you are going to print them as proxies.
The mechs are super. I modded one with open visor, just added 2 pistons.
Now they have larger ones which I still need to print.
Thanks for your comments

These are quite awesome; I really like the aesthetic. And isn't it great that 3D-printing now allows one to scale stuff to their own needs/tastes?
The paintjobs complement the sculpts pretty well too; very military scifi.
The most surprising thing in the pictures though is the fact that people apparently still use €0,02 coins :D

Thank you Deothar,
They do have a very nice aesthetic.
What I like most is their variety ( e.g., different heads, shoulder guards etc ).
You should check out their Alien creatures.
The most surprising thing in the pictures though is the fact that people apparently still use €0,02 coins :D
It's what I had at hand :D but I think that 1 euro cent is too small. :D
I use them a lot to base my metal minis, cheap, magnetic & sturdy. 2 cents for military & 1 cent for civilians etc.

Thanks WM,
here's a tip which might prove useful to someone.
I am using Elegoo water washable grey resin .
I do not spray an undercoat, just wash with a blue black ink mix ( my mix which I have detailed in another post.
Then lightly drybrush with different shades of greys . Dry brushing tends to remove ink from the edges leaving the light grey resin showing
and thus doing away with the need to highlight edges. Saves a lot of time especially on this scale.
Another thing, I use PLA printed 1mm thick bases NOT euro cents. This lessens the weight considerably & lessens disaster if a model falls on the ground.
Does not eliminate as water washable grey resin is quite brittle.
Does anyone know if there is a water washable ABS resin mix, please? As from what I read ABS is more durable.
Thanks
