Yeah, I hunted down some Star Wars models to show off what the printer can do to my wife (an easy win with characters she knows and recognises). I doubt I’ll ever game with them. I did think about copyright issues and whether or not there would be much life to this whole 3d printing lark once the “big boys” started getting sites shut down (or models removed at the very least).

But sites like Patreon and MyMiniFactory and CGTrader show that there are plenty of creators out there, many of whom have sub contracted for the likes of GW and ForgeWorld, simply selling directly to the public.

For players like @warzan who are maybe finding existing IP a bit stale, or looking to “game in the gaps” there’s a treasure trove of goodies. Brand recognition is the only thing really stopping it taking off more quickly, I reckon.
