Valkyrion Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Anyone know of a decent map tile set, preferably one that is paintable and modular (not cardboard, for instance), and that isn't £300 on ebay...!

Brother Tyler Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Do you have access to 3D printing? Or are you open to creating your own? Wood hex pieces are plentiful and very affordable. Plastic and acrylic hex pieces are also plentiful, but a little more expensive.

Valkyrion Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 I don't have access to 3d printing, but I'm open to buying 3d prints. I use shapeways a lot for 30k/40k pads and heads, though they seem to be very expensive now, but I have no social media presence beyond this forum and a Burnley FC one, so my google-fu is weak.

Iron Father Ferrum Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I actually recently started getting ads for a 3D printable Mighty Empire-style hex set product called "Hexworld." It looks like a forthcoming Kickstarter, though the FB page doesn't say whether they'll be selling physical product too or just STLs.

Marshal Rohr Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Everyone who says “3D Printing is just as easy as buying from GW” you’re now on three steps for this guy to get what he’s looking for.

I've seen many people argue PRICE vs GW, but I don't recall anyone's argument being AS EASY/EASIER though? BUT, depending on Delivery times, I'd say within 5-7 days, OP could have a calibrated 4K Resin Printer, and 3-4 plates of hexes printed and ready for paint for less than $200USD. Recommended ancillary purchase: screen protector.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 As I recall, MiniWarGaming is working on rolling out 3d printed hex tiles for just such a thing.
