What Space Marine Chapter do you feel stands out like Space Wolves do? There's just something about Space Wolves, they got to me I think...Super fun minis though and I really had a good time just sitting back and painting them up, not every model feels like that!

I love my Primaris, I got into the actual hobby side of 40K at the end of 9th, but there is something so nostalgic about the older, more stylistic marines that just speaks to me, so I've jumped into 30K for my fix. That being said it seems they're starting to bleed the character back into some of the newer sculpts for 40K, like the new Sternguard Veterans. They have that older warrior monk vibe the Primaris initially tossed out in favor of tacticool for a while. Grey Knights is my answer, btw. They desperately need new sculpts but I'm worried they'll lose some of their flavor.

The salamanders probably come closest to standing out like the space wolves, but no other chapter outside of the really small specialist ones (grey knights, custodies) are really as customised as the Legion of Fenris

Lovely work on these. I enjoy how supportive you are to the painters who's models you "rescue"

I agree the newer primaris space Wolves lack that detailed touch. They just feel like any other chapter. But I feel like that short coming has been taken up by third party companies.

Agreed, i think GW should do like they did with the black templar and give us primaris versions of the space wolf specific units. Like primaris bloodclaws that come with 15 per box like the old ones, or the new primaris jump packs as new primaris sky claws, heavy intercessors can be remade into primaris long fangs, etc etc

A buddy of mine who is in the army gave me some second hand space wolves and boy were they caked in paint. It took almost three days to get all of the models cleaned. The box even came with some extra bits that were from kits made in the 90's. I even got my hands on some metal space wolf terminators. Despite the models being considered dorky by today's standards, I still think they are awesome.

I like most of the work on these models. I'm not really a fan of the snow on the marines. it makes them look like statues rather than models that are moving. The armour would also likely produce heat, especially the backpack, which would melt any snow flakes and prevent it from building up.

Really nice save on this one!

I completely agree! The new models lack so much creativity for the Blood Angels, Dark Angels and especially Space Wolves! We were spoiled earlier in the hobby with getting such detail and being open to converting models how we wanted them to look, instead multiple one pose models. Even with heavy conversion work, Primaris aren’t the same

What do you use for air quality with your 3d printer? Its my main holdoff on printing more

@eBayMiniatureRescues

6 ай бұрын

For the most part, I'm not too worried about it. I print in a finished garage away from my house, so it stays separated from people, but the printer I mostly use has built-in fans and filters on it, and I run an air purifier in my space so it is constantly circulating and filtering everything. My purifier has LED indicators on it for air quality and it generally runs clean, so I feel fine with it. I have no real way of knowing other than that, but I'm not sure what else I could be doing to help, maybe a hood with a vent out the window, but that seems like overkill.

@eBayMiniatureRescues I use a garage as well so I should look into those air filters. There's also safe resin I've seen but I have no idea how safe that really is. I know that resin fumes aren't the worst thing as the main side effect of them seems to be you develop a sort of allergy to them, so I suppose worst comes to worst it'd be no more 3d printing. The dust is what I know is really dangerous. Thanks for your answer!

Not sure what kits your buying but the ones I've picked up for Primaris Space Wolves are full of sculpted bits that you can put on yourself. Your marines can be an absolute mess of decoration if you want.

There are some that have all the stuff and I think that's great! I'm talking about actual sculpted pieces of the model. These little guys have sculpted legs and torsos that are specific to them, another chapter couldn't use them. We just don't see as much of that anymore is all. I mean, I like the size and quality of Primaris marines but they are meant to cover the entirety of "Space Marines" and for you to paint them and glue bits on for your chapter. It makes sense from a production side, make more boxes that work with everything, but it feels like we are losing personal identity with some of the chapters.
