3D printing items for fun - and maybe use

So I’ve been busy with work for a couple of weeks and the printers been sitting very patiently waiting for me to use it. So after printing a new headphone holder for the desk I turned it back to Blood Bowl for some need and some fun.

First item was a free mini that was shared into the blood bowl community - a great Rat Ogre. Came as effectively a 6/7 piece (can’t quite remember) print and assembled it all and wow its great. It’s on a 40mm base and to be fair is probably a little bit too big (and I’ll need a prone and stunned marker for it) but primed only it’s already looking great

Then I thought I would have some fun. Got some Blood Bowl trophies through a Kickstarter maker a few weeks back and they look amazing but I was worried that they won’t do so well on a FDM - so I went with a raft and supports everywhere.

As you can see that meant a lot of support removal - and that took a fair old bit of time but was worth it. Got a depth to the eyes, flames and skulls all making me think that it I paint it half well (thinking of airbrushing the flams for some great blending) this might look good.

Not sure what to use if for - first thought was trophy but now thinking it might make a great chaos coach/score marker (or even a wizard marker if I have the inducement). Not sure but it was a bit of fun to print. But although it’s tempting to paint now the Megabowl team still need more effort - I’ve based and washed 6 minis now - need to do the next set then the two big guys.
