Actually, I print test all my models myself, so I’m more looking more reviewers.
Thanks for the advice, but I probably won’t need to worry about Games Workshop.
We create our own IP and we own everything we make: setting, story, rules and models. None of our model, nor anything in our setting look anything like stuff from GW, so there is nothing GW can do about us. You can’t DMCA something owned by someone else.
Here is some game lore: pocket universe with no star nor planet, multiverse travelers on a secret missions, strange creature in an alien world, etc.

Also I see, we may not be the first 3D Printable tabletop game, but I think we are the first wargame on the style of 40K or Warmachine.
I actually saw those stuff on Thiniverse, those are mostly character model. Personally, I think it’s the wrong approach. FDM printers, which is pretty much the only kind of printer under 1000$. FDM are pretty bad at printing characters, the quality is abysmal compare to what you can get from game stores. But, if you use FDM to print vehicles, that’s another story.
A tank designed for FDM printing, if print at 0.1mm layer, then the quality will match from what we get from gamestore, it will cost much less.
That’s why I’m making a tank focused game (we already found solution to include infantry even with only desktop FDM), anyone with a decent FDM printer can print an army that look just as nice those you buy. I think we should try to make up with the best of what we have rather than wait for some super 3D printer that won’t be here in 15 years.
You can see pic of our models here: http://3dwargaming.com/3d-models/
All those were printed at 0.1mm, single extruder.
Anyways, if you are interested in making a review, I can give access to any of my models for free.
I’m currently finishing a tripod, the model has 12 articulations. I design it to be printed on any desktop FDM printer. And the printers you have can definitely print it.
I attached a picture of :
A FDM printed HMG,it’s the size of a bolter.
A Tank
A Lux Sentiel (the tripod.)
BTW, do you play any wargame?
