Can't say I love most of them, I think they callback to a RT/2e aesthetic I don't jive with. But the Brainers are awesome little sculpts.

I think the brainers could really work for GSC.

I love them because I think one of the most iconic pieces of art was the box for the original plastic imperial guard sets. It was epic!

 

I’d buy that image if it ever came out as a painting/displate set.

They all look like Commander Keen.

Those ratlings are terrible. Everything else is pretty... meh.

I actually really like these. Great callback to the old RT Imperial Army models, which were delightful little miniatures. Definitely want some of the STLs at the very least!

They look really cool, but those weapons being as thin as they are could be a problem for resin. Still would like to see more of them printed out! Definitely catches that 80s vibe.

Using the right resin, something specifically designed for game use models (my go to is Siraya Tech), significantly reduces this issue.

Yeah, printer resin has come a long way from the days of "look at it and it snaps". Some are better than others of course, and to some degree you get what you pay for but good printed resin is as good or better than a lot of cast resin. The resin I use (which is absolutely overkill for most people, but isn't even all that expensive) is strong enough you can make 100% printed poseable toys out of it. I wouldn't worry about printing these guys.

Agree with both. I use ABS-like and rarely have issues. But I do get wary whenever I see thin weapon barrels, maybe it is just old print failures coming back to haunt me.

The Brainers would make some real goofy DeLaques. I like ‘em.
