GAMES WORKSHOP is going to HATE this Video - 3d Printing an Entire Army (Warhammer 40k)

it's like six o'clock now and i'm in in bad shape my name is troy and welcome to facility d20 we're all business tonight because i laid down a big challenge for myself one printer one day one thousand point army paint it i don't know if i can do it but it's 11 30 on a friday night at 12 o'clock i hit print on my first print and it begins i don't know what's going to be tough to do but i'm excited for it and getting a little bit anxious and can't wait to hit print at midnight so let's address the elephant in the room gw is gonna hate this video because let's look at their website so you're looking at a combat patrol 170 bucks we got flayed ones 60 bucks group of warriors 55 and look at this one single miniature 45 dollars now i love gw but i'm telling you now guys there are alternatives out there and we're going to take a look at them now so welcome to one page rules this is a really cool gaming company that's got some awesome grim dark futuristic games out as well as some hyper fleet space battle some fantasy stuff but today we're going to take a look at grim dark grim dark is a really cool game inspired by like 4th and 5th edition 40k they've got some basic rule books some core rule books a full army list a whole bunch of fun stuff over there we're going to be looking at grim dark future grim dark future here you can see you can get started in two pages of rules they also got a ton of miniatures that you can print or buy to support their lawn and these things are awesome there's all kinds of miniatures they just got tons and tons and tons of awesome stuff i really love their sculpts and they're all pre-supported and it's just really nice stls today we're going to look at the robot legions they make some super cool robot legions which is perfect because i can not only use it for their game but i can also use it for 40k too so the first thing i had to do was set it and build a list so i hopped on and took a look at all their army lists or codecs essentially grabbed the robot legion's codex went through it and you can see here it's just a couple of pages it's got all the units it's got all the stats it's got all their upgrades it's condensed and really easy to follow and use so i went ahead and i built myself a 1 000 point list i got myself some guardians two groups of warriors an overseer technomancer and a super cool spotter walker one thousand points even then it was time to get started i hung this big clock to make myself super nervous about it i set up my gopro for a time lapse [Music] loaded up the printer with some resin and got the slice of my first model and i decided to go with the spider whacker and this pretty much took up the whole bed of my little printer this thing was going to cost me two dollars and 50 cents and run me seven hours printing time it's just after midnight i'm going to hit print on this first one which is the spotter walkers go seven and a half hours so hopefully in the morning everything is cool and i'll be ready to rock and roll [Music] then i set up the time lapse and got going so guys the rest of this video is just going to be this clock spin around circle sorry no guys but go ahead and smash that subscribe button this channel is really growing i love to have you guys come over and join me here it's been a lot of fun so guys as the sun rose i need a bit of coffee or this was never gonna happen so i poured myself a cup got ready went into the facility looked around and hey first print was done [Music] so it's like five to eight i just got up i'm super tired it looks like this first print printed it okay let's get it out there and get the second one printed so this thing came out super clean and super nice now i did add a couple of my own supports on top of their pre-supports because i find my particular printer has a lot of suction force what i'm doing here is i'm checking to make sure nothing stuck on the fence so that my next print will go off smoothly [Music] right away i popped it all off the build plate and sometimes you got to be careful here because if you're torquing on this too hard you can drive your build plate off level now i've had that happen to me in the past and i wanted to make sure that this time it wasn't going to happen to me so as soon as i popped this out i cleaned it up with some alcohol put it right back in my 3d printer and i tested for level so once i tested for level that piece of paper was nice and snug and pulling smoothly and not catching up on any of the corners so i went ahead put my resin back in and i almost made a mistake here you can tell i put it in sideways and didn't have it all the ways pushed in i could have crashed my print and ruined the whole day right there i then got ready and selected my next print [Applause] this one was a group of guardians this was also a super cool print i added a couple you can see i added a couple of heavy supports there this thing was gonna cost me a dollar fifteen and run me five hours and twenty minutes that started printing and i removed the spotter walker from the supports i like to do this before i wash it i just i don't know i find it just clips out easy it makes a bit more of a mess but it comes out easy this is water washable resin so a bit of soap and water now i know with this stuff you got to wash it for a long time so i put it in for a half hour which wasn't helping my trust time situation then i use my airbrush just to blow dry the parts to get all the water out of there so it could dry out faster then it was time to cure it four minutes curing time works really good with this resin once it was done i had to clean up any little support marks or imperfections that was in it and most of this was due to the extra supports that i stuck on this thing a little bit of gorilla glue start to put it together [Music] [Applause] [Music] this thing is really cool all the parts fit together really nicely i decided to leave the guns off until the end just so it'd be easier to paint so normally guys i would go in with this krylon fusion glass black paint but i didn't want to wait for this to dry because this takes a little longer to dry so i went in with the airbrush instead and primed to black because it's a lot faster it's not as glossy as i was hoping because i got to go in with this old gold the gray violet vallejo color shift paint this takes about three thin coats i'm gonna do this next i got about two hours left on this other print over here and i think i can get this painted in two hours if i uh you know buckle down and get at it [Music] let's get to it [Music] you can see a full video of this i'll link it up in the corner but this unfortunately takes three coats so i had to do three coats and wait at least 20 minutes in between of each of them to dry properly once that was done i just went in with some silver and picked out some more details and just continue to add little details until the entire spotter walker was getting pretty close to finish but then the next print was done the print of the guardians is done i'm not quite finished painting the spotter i'm a little bit behind schedule so i'm getting a little bit nervous already it's like what times it's like one o'clock-ish let's take these out and see how they turned out [Music] looks [Music] like pretty good just definitely no serious issues here with these anyway let's get them out of the supports cleaned up [Music] so again i took my time and i popped these things off the bed made sure i had some plastic and some tissue down so i wouldn't get resin all over my workbench now you want to clean this build plate back off because if you're testing the level you don't want to accidentally get resin on your screen check my vat again nothing was sticking i decided to add some more resin because i was getting pretty low level was good this time again i put my vat back in and started my next print [Music] this one was the technomancer and five warriors again a couple extra heavy supports here and there but it all fit on the bed nicely and this print was only gonna run me a dollar nine and take about five and a half hours then i went right back to the guardians and pulled them out of their sports [Music] another wash and cure and it was back to finishing off the spotter all i pretty much had to left to do here now was the gold and i also watched the gold with some sapia wash i was really happy with how this was looking a little bit of no oil over the silver parts and by that time it was time to cure the guardians [Music] so i've got them cured got them cleaned up put on their bases these things are very cool models they're my favorite ones that i printed today and then it was time to paint and i had a little help from my buddy [Music] made sure i done three coats here again which was uh not easy to accomplish in this short time frame but i just paint it pretty much for four or five hours straight here [Music] guys if you're liking this video go ahead and smash that like button it really helps little channels so it looks like the warriors and the chronomancer printed out pretty good we're going to take it out there and have a look but it's like six o'clock now and i'm in in bad shape i'm way behind on my painting i thought i would have these done by now and be waiting on these things and maybe work on some basis for them so i'm losing confidence it's definitely taking me longer to paint than i thought i was going to i got one more print fingers crossed as last print comes up with any problems and then we've got a thousand points printed it'll just be a matter of painting them i thought the hardest part was going to be the last print i figured i was only going to have like an hour an hour and a half to paint like the last guys i don't know if i'm even going to be able to get to them but [Music] ah i'm going to keep on trying see what happens so these things came out super good too now guys when you're in a time crunch like this [Music] you have to like make sure you prioritize what you're doing this is why you're going to see me pop these things off the build plate put them in the washing here go back to the printing come back and clean the menus because i didn't want to have any waste of time and i was pretty much trying to do everything that i could make sure i wasn't going to waste even so much as 20 minutes now i did take the time to check for level and you can see this time i was having problems and my bed was off level and it was fetching up on one corner if i didn't catch this i would have definitely lost at least a few hours before i realized it so i leveled the bed and now the paper is pulling smoothly out and it's level again and it's ready to get the next print in there so again i didn't want to run it a resin so i topped it up made sure there was nothing sticking on the fet and what i did this time was i just stirred it around a little bit because these resins were at two different temperatures i don't think it would matter a whole lot but i really didn't want to take the chance here on this last print [Music] now this one was going to come down to wire but this was my final print and this time it was five warriors again and the overseer really really nice model i love that overseer this thing was going to run me a dollar 23 and take 4 hours and 20 something minutes [Music] then i went straight back to the batch that just came off the printer got them in the wash and cure as fast as i could [Music] i love this wash and care machine it's so convenient if you don't have one guys i'd recommend getting one whatever one you prefer but they're awesome machines straight back to painting biggest difference here with the color scheme is i decided to go with purple for their clothes i just gave it a base coat and i gave it two heavy washes of purple by the time i had that finished it was ready to cure them and then it was moving on to the priming process [Music] this time i cut a corner and i only gave two coats of color shift because i was running at a time [Music] i'm excited because i finally started my patreon i can't check it out we're doing a lot of cool stuff over there like exclusive videos and printable stl files if you're interested in supporting the channel check it out okay guys it's like 20 after 10. i'm tired i'm getting really tired i really wants to sit down and like eat a snack and watch some tv i got the warriors pretty much half painted the first batch i got the guardians all painted and spotters all painted and done these guys are finished so if this print is okay that is 1 000 points printed in one day i think it's okay it should be okay let's pull it out of there and see what we're working with looks like we got the overseers in there i see five dudes guns and hands and legs and heads [Music] looks like a successful print let's pull them out wash them cure them that'll probably be like around 11 o'clock that gives me an hour to finish painting all this stuff yeah i don't think it's gonna happen but let's see how much i can get done it was not looking good at this point but again i stuck to my plan i stuck to my process [Music] i got these things in the washing care as fast as i can and went straight back to painting these are the warriors the biggest difference here is they had a great clothes okay guys it's like 20 to 12. i got about 20 minutes left i got this final tray of minis i'm going to cure four minutes secure time and then all printing is officially done [Music] let's go take a look at the warriors they're almost painted too so i think i'm just going to go ahead and do the wash hauls left as a black wash on these guys and they're done and what little bit of time i got left i'm going to just prime everything else black this is what i got i just got to go ahead and wash up all the silver and the gray two times with some black and then they're done as well [Music] so guys as you can see behind me is just after 12 o'clock on saturday night i didn't quite get all a thousand points painted but i did get all a thousand points printed so i'm going to call that like a half a win i'm definitely a little bit disappointed i wasn't able to finish it all i think this basically comes down to the fact that i picked a little bit of a difficult color scheme with the color shift paints if i just did like a metal and a dry brush i think that i probably could have did it even though that last print came down to the wire only had about an hour if if i was even doing it that way to be able to finish i'm going to let the paint dry and then i'm going to go ahead and set it up over here for you guys to see what i accomplished this night and well you know what they say tomorrow is always another day and hey stick around because i'm going to finish this army and put it on the table for you before this weekend is on so this is what i accomplished after 24 hours of printing and painting spider guardians warriors all painted [Music] come on now you knows i wasn't going to leave you on that note it's a couple days later this whole army is painted let's take a look at it [Music] here you go guys this is what a little bit of extra time done i managed to put on some really cool bases done a little bit of osl with the purple lighting and finished up squad and the two characters that i didn't get a chance to do now the really cool thing about this was while i was painting this over the next couple of days well a bit more time and guess what oh yeah and by the way with those extra couple of days i doubled it so let's take it back to the beginning everything that you see here now costs less than that one mini from gw so it's at this point in time guys that i'm going to say if gw don't get on board with 3d printing they are going to hurt in the future guys make sure to hit subscribe if you like this video and check out some more on my

Interesting video but if I was GW I wouldn't be to worried as those minis are nasty looking....

The video itself is fine, but by god, what an over the top, clickbait-y title.
