It looks like you slightly overexposed the prints, which accounts for a lot of the "softness" you're seeing on the edges. On the OG Mars, where your layer exposure times are ~8 sec, drop the exposure 0.5 seconds, and I'll bet you'll find those prints much crisper.

To fit in with the theme of trench warfare with these guys, you could use the arms and other bits to put in the walls of trenches. This inspiration came from my grandfather telling me a rather disturbing horror story that his dad told him when he fought in the first world war. When soldiers began expanding the trenches they often dug into unmarked burial sites of fallen soldiers.

the perception that the extra plastic bits are "waste" is driven by how much GW likes to charge for a relatively cheap material. the extra bits are there because selling two of the same box and sprue is cheaper than selling one copy of two different boxes.

As a detail on a chest plate for example.

If I ever get back into 40k, I'm doing this. The only issue is that the financial barrier to entry shifts to a technical/knowledge barrier to entry.

And now that you've discovered the benefits of 3d printing your own torsos, it's only a single step from printing the arms and weapons as well, circumventing GW entirely. Why bother buying the models, after all, if you're going to print large portions of them anyway?

Yeah you can maybe get 1-2 new models from some amateur but thats nowhere near as much as gw pumping out oh and not even going to talk about how the existing model's prices would skyrocket even more. Printing out torsos to use the remaining bits and still sometimes buying a few things from gw and use it to its 100% potential is probably the golden middle line.

what is/are the files you used? where did you purchase them?

are these able to be played in regular outside of killteam

Surprisingly nice turnout on the printed lads, thought the leaner legs and smaller mask would look too janky next to the kits own models, but it’ll easily pass the 5’ rule. Definitely helps since GW pulled a GW and made it so that the kit doesn’t even make a complete Veteran Guardsmen Kill Team (4 bodies short of 10 guardsmen AND the ancillary support which consists of 4 additional troopers)

I’d like to do this also but am having difficulty finding stl file for Krieg bodies like these. Would you share the link for this stl files?

I'm just going to print my first DKOK models, what is the correct size in millimeters to match the ones GW sells?. And where i buy this models 🤯

Great work! I am still not sure if I want to buy the box. I don't like the design of the buildings and besides of Kill Team I have no use for Orks or Imperial Guard. But those models, especially from the Deathkorp of Krieg, are looking really cool. Also the guns and the bits could be used on other models too, to create a more individual look. But the box is pretty expensive. I wish GW would say that they will sell the models later on separately.
