Proxy Wargaming Models Killing The Hobby?

so is playing your favorite games using proxy models killing the hobby i don't think it is i think it's driving it if anything and what makes me think this way is if you get into a new game system they have a lot of models for that game system so you start getting into it and you start seeing the same models over and over again yes they might be painted differently yes they might be kit bashed a little bit but when you start trying to look into think oh that'll be cool i might want to do this you've already seen everything and the models start to become a bit boring quite quickly and especially if you've got the mountain of painting a load of models for your army this is why i like 3d printing and this is why i absolutely love proxying i'm not confined to a set of models that i have to build and paint i can pick i can select i can 3d print in whatever size that i want so you can get a basic troop and blow it up to be a giant if you wish and the best thing about using companies like one page rules is the fact that it's all pre-supported and it does take a lot of the work out of 3d printing for you and this is why 3d printing and proxies is the next best thing for me and if you're on the fence about 3d printing one page rules is probably a reason to get into 3d printing i've printed an entire war gaming army using one page rules as models now whether you're going to be printing your car troops whether you're going to be printing your centerpiece models like this one i'm going to be using this model as a reanimated statue for my kings of war army now i could use the necrosphinx from games workshop but one can't get over them anymore and two they're really expensive there is other company stuff out there but they're usually multi-part kits or the resin kits that have got bits of warping you've got work to do to make them go together and i hate building models and 3d printing for me especially models like this with supports that just fall off with a bit of hot water and glue together with no stress of warping no no cleanup no no cutting ends off it's just stick it on and it's done it makes me lean toward proxies more and i don't think this is a bad thing because i wouldn't be buying them models anyway because it instantly killed my creativity or wanting to paint something because of the process of cleaning the model and trying to build it together before painting whereas this is just four parts and i'm ready to get some primer on it and get painting now say for example you've got most of an army already with models from your favorite game and you want something a bit different for a centerpiece model because it's your centerpiece models that you really enjoy painting that's why i'm getting some paints out and sitting down ready to do a decent session of painting you can just literally print your centerpiece models to make your army look so different and that's what i like about using 3d printed models there's a wide variety of stuff out there but it's also cheap i mean one page rules is less than 10 pounds a month and they offer loads of models each month so you can create armies whether you're into fantasy or sci-fi 3d printers now are cheaper than playstations xboxes you can pick up a 2k mono screen printer for 150 pounds which people would normally spend that on just one model whereas if you've got a 3d printer and you want to build the core of your army it's going to save you quite a lot of money in the long run or if you want the 3d printer just for building your epic centerpiece models which makes your army look a lot more individual and it keeps you creative keeps you wanting to make your army look even better and at the end of the day it's whatever drives you to build paint and get your army on the table ready for playing with and for me it's proxying or 3d printing models that i just want to put together and paint i find that cool i'm going to throw it together and i'm going to paint it and painting this model is very simple the one page rules models are quite simple they're not over detailed the very good models for throwing armies together quite quickly and this is another reason why i like to have choice if i've got an army that's pretty simple looking but it looks nice altogether then having a centerpiece model like this that's got some details but it's not over detailed and i can paint it in a couple of hours again i'm a gamer i enjoy gaming and playing my favorite game systems and if you've fixed to a company where you buy your models from and you you don't you don't proxy you have to paint that model whereas with me i'll use whatever i want and again one page rules is like my favorite compromise it's they're not under detailed but they're not over detailed either they're just nice simple models that you can tell what they are from the gaming table and they look good just base coated if you want and that's what a war gaming model is to me whereas if you wanted to take this to the next level and paint it to a far better quality there's enough detail there that you could do that but if you don't want to it still looks pretty decent with some base coats and a wash and obviously base in your bases with base ready from my range check all them out in the links below what's your thoughts on proxying would you use a one-page rule model and to add it to your warhammer army or to add it to your kings of war army would you do what i've done and 3d print an entire war gaming army for all your favorite systems proxying to me just makes war gaming in general just far more accessible it doesn't matter what models you've got it doesn't matter what game system you've played most models are transferable most game systems are transferable some things might not fit in with the law but who cares it's about wargaming and it's about having fun if you want to purchase any of these models that are below check all the links to one page rules and thank you to on-page rules for sponsoring this video so guys thanks for watching thanks for tuning in i absolutely love one page rules proxying for me it just gets me going because i get that used to seeing army systems or game systems where people use the same armies and it's just a bit boring the fact that i can find a model that i want print it off paint it and add it to my army i absolutely love proxy with 3d printing it's amazing and if you're on the fence about 3d printing now is the time to do it 3d printers 2k mono screen you can pick them up for what 150 200 pounds and with companies like one page rules offering armies every month rule systems for like what less than 10 pounds a month sci-fi fantasy whatever you want it's just absolutely amazing now it's a great time to be in the hobby and if you're into proxy it's even better all the links below thanks for watching thanks for tuning in i've really enjoyed this because i can see again and just painting this model that i actually need for my army has been an absolute pleasure so thank you for one page rules for sponsoring this video and i'll see you for the next one love love [Music] you
