![]() ![]() The print quality of this was immaculate, so for anyone who says that 3D printing is not on par with GW standard. So we sent them this awesome Samurai Space Marine model we bought from Jimsbeanz on cgtrader. ![]() But they did agree to do a test print for us. I was in discussion with Formlabs recenetly, trying to get them to send us a printer to test for review – at £5k per printer they said no. Such as the hands attached to the swords or plate at the base of the Sashimono. The main challenge I had with these was that because the parts were made to be used with their own model bodies, each component has unnecessary parts which would look daft on our Space Marines. I’m pretty sure these parts are digitally sculpted based on just how clean and even the forms are,Ĭlean up wasn’t the worst, with it being resin moulded, there are a few mould lines but little in the way of offset moulds. Puppets War is a direct step up from Kromlech in quality. This lot set me back 45€ with a discount. When they finally despatched they arrived within a week. Again from Poland, over a month waiting and chasing them up. Unfortunately, this was the slowest delivery, these parts were the first I ordered and yet the last to arrive. I picked up quite a few bits from these guys, 4 sets of Space Samurai Style heads, Katanas, Shoulder Pads, Sashimono, and a big plate I planned to use on my Outriders bike. ![]() Or use them in other game systems like Infinity and other 32mm Game systems.Īnd Dare I Say It, I genuinely prefer this aesthetic of space warriors over Games Workshops own designs! – But I’ve always been a sucker for high-tech over grim-dank. Sure you could use their various Unit Configurators to create squads of models and use them as proxy Space Marines if you wish (but that would cost more than just buying from GW). Essentially these are substructure models you can use in any game system which allows them. Kromlech provides quite generic Space Warrior models for use in various miniature wargames. I found this a little overwhelming as my mind flooded with the ideas of possible Space Marine Chapters I could build. They have a nice modern site and a myriad of components to browse through. Puppets War is kind of like a more modern Kromlech – sort of. Samurai Space Marines Parts – Puppets War Then there’s the scale, sorry Kromlech, we are all buying True-Scale Primaris Space Marines now.Īpart from one small section below, this is the last I’ll be discussing Kromlech, I didn’t use any of these parts in the end. Parts need rebuilding on the edges rather than just a mould line cleanup. But here you have the imprecise sculpting lines of old, coupled with offset casting causing uneven moulds. Especially since digital 3D sculpting took off we expect to see perfectly even and balanced sculpts. Over the years we’ve all come to expect slightly better production quality when it comes to our bits. Don’t get me wrong, they are highly detailed for the classic Space Marine scale. The image above shows pretty much how they arrived, which wasn’t great – especially the loose heads and missing Katana. I decided to pick up the parts below which comprised of the Heads, backpacks, Sashimono (the backpack banners) and the Power Katana Swordsĭelivery was fairly rapid, coming from Poland to the UK in just over a week (pre-Brexit), the parts above cost 30€ including shipping. I believe these parts are all hand-sculpted? They are without a doubt resin moulded. You can spend hours on that site and come away with a myriad of ideas. Samurai Space Marines Parts – Kromlechįirst up Kromlech, I’ve known about these guys for ages and despite my time away from this hobby when I did dip my toe back in, it was always to check out places like Kromlech for custom bits. One from the incredible (ly expensive) Formlabs Form 3 Printer and some parts from Shapeways. Along with this I also tried out some 3D printed parts and components. I picked up parts from places like Kromlech, Puppets War, Master Crafted Minis and the very new The Custom Bit. And here, to help you guys choose the best bits. Recently, I decided to pick up this project idea again and so went in search of modern sources of Samurai Style bits for my latest Indomitus Space Marines. Thanks, Oldhammer FB page for the help on this one. Update: The Sword is from Severina, one of the Death Cult assassin twins, these models are now OOP and have been replaced. Then as became a teenager and was distracted by romantic interests for nearly 2 decades before coming back into the hobby. But anyway, I built the models, painted one up to look kind of like Grey-Fox from Metal Gear. A post shared by FauxHammer searched high-and-low to find this sword now for reference, I’m sure it was from some classic female Slaneesh model.
