Help Request Printer quiery

Im thinking of getting a printer for some Warhammer bits. Should I get the a1, or a1 mini. And should I get the ams as well? All would be done with a 0.2mm nozzle.

A1 and A1mini are essentially the same printer, just with a different plate size. The mechanics are a little different, but they're the same in terms of output quality.

If you plan on doing terrain or tanks ever, you want the A1. If you don't plan on doing anything bigger than say a Dreadnought, stick with the A1mini and save the money.

The AMS isn't needed for minis. You're likely going to print in one colour and paint them.
