In another 5-10 years GW might very well just cut their costs, stop making their own models and sell files that you get to print at home. The shops will just be a few 3D printers and a bunch of pictures with barcodes.

In 5-10 years the quality of GW minis will keep increasing. Remember, right now there is nothing stopping you from making your own minis from green stuff, paper cutouts, or just proxy stuff. Some people take the time to, some people do not. Most people just stick with GW, and for 2 main reasons.

They like/love the quality, and its required in major tournaments. The key for me is anyone in the geek sphere knows what warhammer 40k is. Most people who don't play is because of the cost really. If you boil it down, there really is a huge opportunity for warhammer to grow, but GW is pricing themselves out of it. I used to sell the things and it was perfect when the starter set was $60. Cost vs video game was an easy sell. Plus the company still made nearly $40 on a starter set, back in 4th ed.

Hell starter sets should be a loss leader to hook people in. Most people who don't play is because of the cost really Again, what's your proof of that? Lots of geeks earn enough that the cost is a non-issue and have much more expensive hobbies. I'm not suggesting that proof exists, quite the opposite in fact. If you boil it down, there really is a huge opportunity for warhammer to grow I'm afraid I don't agree with that assertion.

As a manger, we have to handle all aspects of sports club activities, starting with pre-match player preparations and setting the tactics for every event, and ending with administering the stadium and the club’s finances.

Playing miniature tabletop wargames like Warhammer or Warmachine without any terrain or obstacles on the game board is a little bit like getting ice cream on a cold winter day. Sure, everything that you like about it is there, but it just isn’t very satisfying. Miniature games are more than anything a game of army selection and strategy, and you really need to have both to be successful. You could have the deadliest, most powerful characters and troops in the game, but if you don’t know how to use them a lesser army with a better game strategy will beat you every time. And when you add some terrain into the mix, a good strategist could wipe the table with you without even trying.

For such an important and potentially game winning part of the game, most miniature wargamers don’t put nearly as much effort into their terrain pieces as they do their armies. It isn’t uncommon to see makeshift buildings constructed with taped together cereal boxes or random bottles and cans strewn around the game board. While that gets the job done, it certainly isn’t as much fun as a well thought out and fully painted piece of terrain. But when the army that you’re using can cost you into the hundreds of dollars, it’s hard to justify spending just as much on a nice piece of terrain. That’s where 3D printing enters the picture, because I can’t think of an invention more suited to a miniature wargamer’s needs than a 3D printer. There are some amazing pieces of terrain and scenery that can be printed, assembled and painted for pennies on the dollar compared to terrain that can be purchased.

Sadly, a lot of gamers don’t even know how much is actually out there, or think that they need a 3D printer to get it. In an age of, and, not having a 3D printer just isn’t that big of a deal anymore. So I went out and found some of the coolest pieces of 3D printable terrain and scenery that I could find for this week’s column.

And here they are, Ten 3D Printable Things – Tabletop Wargaming Terrain: OMNISPHERE by Found on: Thingiverse Cost: Free I had to start off this list with a bang, and you’re not going to get much more of a wow factor than pulling this bad boy out and putting in on a game board. The Omnisphere is a huge piece of terrain that has a removable roof so figures can actually enter it, and continue the game indoors. This is a perfect feature terrain piece for skirmish games, capture the flag or king of the hill type variants. ARCANE GATEWAY by (Painted image courtesy ) Found on: Thingiverse Cost: Free The best pieces of terrain are those than can serve multiple purposes. You could use this awesome gateway for tabletop RPGs, as a random piece of terrain for wargames, as an objective marker or even create a rule variant that allows players to use it to transport to other parts of the game board. There is a lot of fun to be had with something like this, or you could just print it up and paint it as a display piece.
