3d printers are great for quick prototyping but they can&#x27;t do the fine detail of proper sculptured&#x2F;cast models which if you care about miniature gaming is presumably the point. (I mean there are people who play non-miniature wargames but it&#x27;s not a big market). As for lore, I dread to think of the fights - shared-universe fiction efforts don&#x27;t tend to go well.
