Another pair of 3d prints for today’s post – we have a couple more free STLs, this time from Wargame Forge over on MyMiniFactory. This time we have the Gothic Building Test, which comes in quite a few variations. I initially printed and painted the damaged version without rubble skirt or either of the hex tile versions. It came up pretty well overall.
A few weeks later, I printed the undamaged version using the new Fat Dragon Games terrain settings for my printer and tried to match the paint to the first version. The print was a ton faster, but the layer lines came out much more obvious than the setting I’d used for the ruin. Since I’m not printing terrain for a store or to run a tournament, I’ll just take the extra time they take for a slightly better eventual outcome. Flippy never sleeps anyway!
I do like Wargame Forge’s building style and models as they’re simple and straightforward – they have a 40k look but not too extreme, so they would still work decently for other games such as Battletech, etc, but they’re a little pricey, especially given how quickly they add up for minor variations such as essentially the same model with an additional floor making for an addiitonal STL requiring an additional purchase. The bespoke buildings are a much better deal IMO as there’s a bit more to them. I may pick up a few of each when there’s a half-price Black Friday sale or something similar, but in the meantime I’ve got plenty more to print!

Haha thank you. I remember those days fondly and things like the Squat Land Trains and IG Leviathans (a name that gets reused rather often!) I even have one of the old GW green grass mats that I snagged before they discontinued them!

They look very effective mate, and as you say not too gothic that they can’t be used elsewhere.

Yeah, my own personal view of the Imperium is that there’d be more than one single unified style of architecture across those million worlds, so even when playing something 40k-esque I’ll happily drop in those modernist-style buildings from the various Battletech-adjecent companies.

These have a nice look to them to be sure and they’re painted up very well too. Its fun seeing how 3D printing is going for you as well, mate.

Thanks mate! It’s largely giving me the chance to print up a ton of scenery that would either be quite expensive to purchase or simply unavailable – as well as a few other things that I’ll eventually get painted to share here.
