>3D printers give you absolute freedom>Warhammer sheeps use it only to make copies without any changesHobbitists of yesterday could only dream about the freedom that a 3D printer provides, and how did you waste this freedom?Pathetic Warhammer zombies.
>>97852844Warhammer is the only table top game that matters, faggot.
>>97852844Printlet much?Have you even looked at what's available on pages like MMF. Sure, Warhammer proxies exist, simply because Warhammer is huge in the wargaming niche, but there are so many more miniatures available, and you do not even need to look hard for them. I would even so far to say that for each obvious 40k Release, there is one for Trench Crusade and D&D too.If all you see is warhammer, then that is a you-issue, but certainly not a problem of people who make STLs or those who print them.
>>97852844Real freedom is not engaging in or making your own versions of GW products at all, you mindless cretin.
>>97852844I would actually quite like a huge space marine to paint. As a model kit, not a joytoy figure. Sometimes you do find a gold bar in the trash can, thanks AI
>>97852848It is the least among nothings.It isn't even itself any more.
>>97852844>3d printer gives people freedom to do what they want>people do what they want>”NO NOT LIKE THAT!”
It's good that people spend their free time on creative hobbies that they enjoy. It's admirable when people learn new skills. Having different interests than mine makes the world a more interesting place, and more likely to teach me something new.
>>97853099Yeah, but you also get graded on your application of said skill.If you paint like Caravaggio, but only do still life paintings of litter in the street, then there is something to ridicule in spite of any skill demonstrated.And yet, the ridicule does not erase the skill, merely tests the ego.
>>97853169>Yeah, but you also get graded on your application of said skill.People who are rude to you aren't worth your time. They have no authority from which to "grade" you, anon. Set their meaningless opinions aside and enjoy your time--it's all you've got.
>thread about how modern warmhammer community has betrayed the spirit of the old hobby>rrreeee, we enjoy the hobbyFirst - you are retards and miss the point. Second, you are lying to yourself, modern Warmhammer is not fun, it is an addiction and desire to be successful. Even if this "success" is something pathetic and worthless like winning a tournament while overpaying GW for fake status items. Also, all you do is blindly follow instructions without any creativity. This is not a hobby, this is consuming a product for retards who want to feel "special" without putting in any effort. Pathetic.
>>97853172Being a self-absorbed autistic is not something to encourage.
>>97853221>Care about my opinions or I'll insult youlol
>>97853219>If I employ hyperbole and outrage, my opinions will be more meaningfulAnon you're missing something important, here: you have no authority to speak from. You're just some random dude blowin' shit outa his ass on the internet. Your opinions aren't constructive, so they aren't of value to others. And your opinions carry no authority, so they don't need to be considered by others. You're just blathering an angry screed on the internet. It has no impact on anyone else. Try being constructive, and maybe you'll find that others are interested in engaging? But if you just wanna use hyperbole to try to be insultinig, why should anyone care?
>>97853271And yet you keep arguing with me. Because you know I'm right, so you keep yelling at me to maintain the false sense of superiority over other people given to you by the GW propaganda.
>>97853336>And yet you keep arguing with meI think you might have the wrong end of the stick, anon. We aren't "arguing." I'd like /tg/ to be a better place. I'd like the people who post here to be better. I'm gonna help. You can't admit it in this conversation because your pride is on the line, but you'll think through the things you've read, and there's a halfway decent chance that you'll be a better person in the future. You're welcome :)
>>97853363You don't argue, you just can't leave. Also, using your logic I ask the question - who are you to decide what is good? Your opinion doesn't matter, no opinion matters so no one should listen to you. Who are you, some kind fun police or something?
>>97853425>who are you to decide what is good?Someone constructive and kind, anon. Who wants a better /tg/. We'll get there eventually. You're welcome to help.
>>97852844or you can use windows 3D Builder and zero experience to chop up Kev Adams sculpts and make alternate squig hoppers
>STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE
>>97852844damn this is literally me
>>97853441>Someone constructive and kindOnly in your head, shcizo.
>what you think
>>97853219>nooooo you are enjoying the hobby in a WRONG way, my way is correct!I can almost visualize how fat and greasy you are irl
>>97853581>I swear being a tourniefag is fun and not the misery porn for overweight losers.
>>97853172Comparison may be the thief of joy, but it is also the only thing that provides a standard.
>>97853926That's right and I'm not suggesting you shouldn't. Absolutely do so! Find some people you admire and be aspirational and get better at things. But those people get that authority because you admire them, and freely give them that authority over your work. Randos don't get to claim authority over you. It's something you must choose to give to others.
>>97852844you looking for headpats because you print stuff for warmahordes or something?
>>97852844>Slopshitter>Whining about people making copiesThe irony is lost on you, huh?
>>97852844/3dpg/ is a thing. Go and cry there.
>>97852848Popularity does not always correlate with funness
>>97854409It literally does not have to. 40k is the prime example for that.
>>97852844>Hobbitists
>>97852844the arbitration of intersubjective disagreement is what you're really paying these companies fora bunch of cool custom minis mean nothing if nobody wants to play with you or you have to explain what they are every time you meet someone new
>>97852844OP image looks almost exactly like my cousin who is a huge 40k fan.... damn...
>>97852848It's barely even a game, shill
>>97852848And you don't play it. Or anything else.
ironically, becoming a printfag and running multiple fdm and resin 3d printers 24/7 for 3 years has led me become a scratchbuilder and model maker.
>>97852844I have a 3D printer and I'm taking stock of what I bought in the past to get rid of stuff as I phase into 3D printing.To continue enjoying Warhammer. My main concern now is whether I will be allowed at the LGS still or be under the lens of a metaphorical gun scope for any screw up on my part to be exaggerated to kick me out.That's really it at this point.>>97858277>ironically, becoming a printfag and running multiple fdm and resin 3d printers 24/7 for 3 years has led me become a scratchbuilder and model maker.How did that happen? And how likely is it to happen to me?
>>97852844So I don't own a 3d printer yet, waiting on things but I when I get one im mostly printing sexy gooner miniatures and figures instead of ordering them from etsy.I've got like 60 pinup models to paint with 30 of them needing building (kingdom death) the rest are mostly artisan guild with a few from lorecom and othersThough when I get my printer oh lord im printing so much officer rhu stuff
