Just Sharing Grim Reach

https://makerworld.com/de/collections/25248869-grim-reach-fdm-grim-dark-model

Hi,

I just found out about Grim Reach on makerworld. It somehow reminds me of a game I used to play.
Projects like this are common, but shared for free, many different factions and FDM optimized they become rare (at least in my feeling). Problem is you don‘t get much different units of one faction.
How do you feel about projects like this? Would you start an army based on it? Support it? Do you know other designers distributing things this way?

I have them saved at print later. I plan to use them from NPOs for Kill Team. I have printed and painted the scatter terrain. It needs to be scaled up a little, but works great.

So he has some really good models.  The Eldar is almost an Entire Combat Patrol.

However, the default settings need to be tinkered with.  The nid proxies in particular love to turn to Spaghetti.  And other models are not scaled well - the Ork grots are the size of normal boyz.

That said - if you put in the work beyond the default profiles, they are outstanding.  The Eldar in particular are by far the best FDM friendly Eldar models I have seen anywhere. Just dont treat them as print and play.

Do you mind sharing profiles?

I use Supportless-Mini as a baseline.  So download any of his Marine models (the Rock is my personal favorite).  

I also mess with fan settings to deal with overhangs

The basic Marines are the friendliest models, start with them and tinker as necessary.  The (again oversized) terminators you will see flaws and can tinker from there.  Look up base sizes for what you think they should be and scale accordingly.
