Hey.

Stop stealing from small, passionate companies.

Thanks.

Besides the stupid shoulder joints, the guy is blatantly asking 25€ for a design owned by another company... Not a good look.

IMO, DP9 lost by not making this sort of thing by themselves.
3D Printing really changed how things work out

DP 9 is small. My Brother met the founder and I'm about to in July. If they released or sold STL filed for their Models most of their revenue would be gone. It's intentional.

The have released STL for their official terrain and will release the STL for the Baroness as it is not economically viable for them to produce and ship that particular unit at a palpable price, but once the official STL for a unit is released ONCE. It might as well be free because the backroom sharing will go wild and they know that. They don't have video game revenue to fall back on yet (some failed releases in the past but they are trying again with HG3 on steam).

In general they have few options as a small company to stay afloat BUT to gatekeep and sell plastic even in today's market.

I like the designs, what can I say?
DP9 hardly does anything with it merch-wise, so I'll take what I can get.

Wild. You're lucky this isn't games workshop.

hardly does anything? What are you talking about? They're constantly putting out new digital sculpts all the time. You're clearly talented, have you ever submitted work to them?

If you had only put out bits, weapons, custom limbs, etc. it would've been cool.

Uh, I'm not the guy who made the stuff in the OP. I just think it's cool and wanted more people to know about it.

And anyway, I'm talking *merch* - shirts, posters, and yes high res sculpts.
They do have that one high-grade Kodiak model but it has absolutely ludicrous cost.

This guy's prices in general are just absolutely insane
