Traveller RPG: Painting a Giant 3D Printed Beowulf

We had the good fortune to be picked to paint this 3D printed Beowulf for the old Traveller RPG.

The seamlines are because we have to dry fit everything. It will ship home in components as its too large to ship in one box!

The interior, as you can see, is fully playable, and painted.

This was painted to Standard Quality.

Paintedfigs is a miniature painting service. You can send us your figurines to paint, and we also have painted miniatures for sale. We paint mainly Games Workshop (Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Space Hulk, Bloodbowl, and so on), Star Wars, Warmachine and Hordes, and pretty much every Kickstarter and board game under the sun.

And we do so at the lowest rates on Earth (we’ve checked).

Chaos Daemons for Warhammer 40k!

This was a fun Chaos Daemons set. Kept us quite busy. The 3D printed custom base toppers are a fun touch to help them stand out.

These were painted to Showcase and Exhibition quality.

Necromunda: Hive Secundus; Spyres, Van Saars, and Malstrain Genestealers

I’ve often wondered why no one in the Imperium had experimented with Tyranids. They are perfect “perfect weapon” trope. Perhaps there was some fluff reason against it?

No. It was just that no one had got around to it yet. Hive Secondus is a nice little look into genestealer experimentation, a wrecked and abandoned hive, and fun figures like the Spyres - and a caryatid!

These were painted mainly to Exhibition Quality.

40k: Bel'akor - The Dark Master with Exhibition-Level Miniature Painting Service

“Are you going to drink that or what?”

I want you to take a moment and just enjoy what a cool miniature this is. It is so far ahead of the older daemon sculpts.

Bel’akor was painted Exhibition quality.

Bringing the GW's Classic Dreadfleet to Fully-Painted Life

In the late 2000s, naval fantasy wargaming went through a little rebirth. Everyone who had been wishing they could play Man-O-War again, found Uncharted Seas. It was a great game with great minis. No one contested them; least of all GW.

Then, GW put out Dreadfleet.

14 years on, and the sculpts look as good today as they did when the game first came out. I was hoping it was a tester for a new, naval wargame. The next Man-O-War. Sadly, that never happened.

Here’s some Dreadfleet. These were all done to Exhibition quality.

40k: Painting Forgeworld Imperial Knights with Weathering

Did us some big, heavy, Forgeworld Knights! Business as usual, except these guys needed some weathering. We found two effects worked best with them. Rust streaks, and paint chips. Being such different styles, I feel they worked well when put together.

These were painted to Exhibition quality.

We Printed and Painted some Trench Crusade

We printed and painted a bunch of Trench Crusade!

You'll find minis here from:

Heretic Legion, New Antioch, The Trench Pilgrims, Black Grail, Court of the Seven Headed Serpent, The Sultanate of the Iron Wall, and the Mercenaries.

The process was straightforward:

- The client sent us his files to print, for his personal use

- we printed them, on his behalf

We printed the minis for about 10% the cost of the painting. These were printed on stronger, ABS-like resin.

If you send us your files we can print-and-paint Trench Crusade for you, on your behalf, for your personal use.

(We can’t use any files we already have, sorry. Those belong to other clients.. We don’t have any rights to them, commercial or otherwise.)

These were painted to Showcase Quality.

You can find the STL (3D) files for the One Page Rules Saurian Starhosts, here:

https://www.myminifactory.com/users/onepagerules?show=store&page=1&query=starhost

Paying more than a dollar for a Space Marine?
We don’t.

As long as we’re hired to paint them, we’ll 3d print your miniatures for next to nothing.

We don’t mind - our business is the painting. If we can lower the cost of miniatures for you, everyone wins.

our 3d Printing Rates:

Printed in stronger, ABS-like resin

“troop” miniature - $1.40

primaris proxy - $1.68

D&D Character - $1.82

RHINO PROXY - $10.24

Not-Land raider - $13.99


so, how do i get my minis 3d printed by you?

1 - You send us links of what you’d like us to print and paint.
We estimate the cost.

2 - You send us the 3d files.
We print them for your personal use.

3 - We paint them and send them to you.

where do i find 3d files of minis?

We recommend MyMiniFactory. You can also try Cults3d and Yeggi.


benefits to YOU from printing:

  • More bang for your buck. For a bit more than the cost of the 3d files, you get an army.

  • Cheaper shipping. The miniatures are only shipping one-way; to you.

  • Free repair. If any minis arrive damaged, we’ll reprint and paint them, on the house.


Tariffs? What Tariffs?

Short Answer: We’re Not Impacted.

Long answer follows! 

US Customs and Border Protection does not bother with anything valued under $800*: 

https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/de-minimis-value-increases-800

This is the “De Minimus” exemption. Basically, its not worth their time bothering with it.

Nothing we ship is valued anywhere near $800. In fact, we normally value our shipments at $20-$25 per box. Yes. Yes.


* Now, on April 2nd, the De Minimis exemption was cut for China and Hong Kong: 

https://www.cassidylevy.com/news/de-minimis-shipments-no-longer-allowed-from-china-hong-kong/

However, there's nothing to suggest Sri Lanka will also lose De Minimis. I feel if so, we'd have lost it on the same day, or on Liberation Day. 

So, we have no plans to raise any rates.

It’s not clear what the future may bring but honestly, Sri Lanka is the smallest of small potatoes in this trade war. Like a stormtrooper with a bad helmet radio, we go unnoticed.


Spotlight: 3D Print and Paint, One Page Rules Saurian Starhost

We recently printed two One Page Rules armies for a client. We had used “standard” resin. Essentially the same kind we have been using for the past 5 years.

Of late though, we've been working with much stronger ABS-like resin. We like it so much more, we realized there was no way we could give the client the armies in standard resin. They needed to be ABS, too. So, we did that.

This left us with a bunch of standard resin minis which were now junk. So, we painted some of them up anyway, just to show you what's possible with Print and Paint.

These were painted to Exhibition Quality. The additional pricing for the printing was something trivial, like 10% or 15% more. It's not even worth looking up.

“troop” miniature - $0.60

primaris proxy - $0.72

D&D Character - $0.78

RHINO PROXY - $4.39

Not-Land raider - $6.00

No one can beat that.

That’s because they’re in the printing business. We, however, are in the painting business. This allows us to charge low printing rates and not care.

Or pay extra, for printing in stronger “ABS-like” resin:

For stronger, “ABS-LIKE” Prints:

Invest in shatter resistance:

“troop” miniature - $1.40

primaris proxy - $1.68

D&D Character - $1.82

RHINO PROXY - $10.24

40k: Painting Blood Angels Space Marines on Cracked Earth Basing

“Are you going to drink that or what?”

I very much like how this army came together. The clean schemes are easy on the eye. I like how they “sit” against the earth basing. The cracks add character, but don’t compete in any way with the minis.

A little NMM here and there . We are still flirting with NMM and doing just the basics here and there. The appeal is clear!

We Painted too Many Bloodthirsters! - Blood for the Warhammer 40k Blood God

“Careful boys, the ground is lava!”

Five Bloodthirsters, one of whom is Skarbrand. Nice and angry. Perhaps dancing at a metal concert, but definitely angry. In some pics you can see the 3D printed elements we added to the bases to give them a bit more pzazz.

Team Yankee - Showcase British, American, and Soviets!

Nice to see some Team Yankee after a long while. 15mm is actually my preferred scale. It’s compelling, it lets you put a ton of assets down for a battle, and the modelling and painting is forgiving!

We Painted Too Much War on Terror: 28mm Afghans and US Forces

I never thought I’d write “we painted too much War on Terror,” anymore than you thought you’d ever read that. Yet, we did, you did, and here we are.

There are a snapshot of US, Afghan (army and insurgent), and other tangentially related operators and infantry at 28mm, through the past 20 years.

There are about 240+ images here so… enjoy?

The Hunters AD 2114 is a post-apocalypse boardgame where players take down robot animal monsters that make a nuisance of themselves. The figures (and premise) remind me of Horizon 0 Dawn.

Necromunda: These Goliaths are Feeling a Bit Blue...

This was a fun one. The client gave us the color scheme.

We’d not done this sort of pallid, zombie-like skin tone on a gang before, except maybe the Delaques. It worked welll on these, offsetting the dark tones. The brown in the amor in turn played well against the electric blue.

Some Battletech Mercenaries Miniature Painting Service

Here we got to do a set of Battletech Mercenaries. Quite a bit of fun, new machines. It’s great that Catalyst Game Labs is doing so much for the IP.

About Battletech:

BattleTech is a tabletop wargame that simulates combat between giant robots called "BattleMechs." The game was first published in the 1980s by FASA Corporation - with, shall we say, GREAT INSPIRATION drawn from Harmony Gold's Macross/Robotech?

All the new, high-detail hotness for Battletech now is coming from Catalyst Game Labs.

In BattleTech, players control a lance of BattleMechs and engage in combat with their opponents' lances. Each player has a certain number of points to spend on their lance, which they can use to purchase different types of BattleMechs, vehicles, and other support units.

BattleTech is known for its complex gameplay, deep lore, and for getting FASA sued by Harmony Gold. The game has a large and dedicated fan base and has inspired a number of spin-off games and other media. I look forward to Battletech for years to come.
