Proxy Army: 3D Printing + Gaming Miniatures = Awesome!‏


Just received this news from Proxy Army, a new company specialised in designing and customizing your miniatures to your needs. Here's the introduction I have received from David Pupkin: We're a new gaming miniatures company called Proxy Army. We use 3D printing to give gamers the opportunity to fully customize and personalize their units. As of now, tabletop wargaming has some serious limits attached to it. When you buy a model, you don’t leave it as is. You paint it. You customize it. You make it yours. You optimize it for your army, tweaking parts and playing with numbers until it’s perfect. But someone else designed it, someone else picked which legs it came with, which arms, which weapons. It’s rare that the Space Marine I get has the exact stuff I want and I either have to buy more to kitbash, which also costs money, or rely on parts I’ve already bought from models which aren’t what I wanted either. I like the option of fiddling and modification, not being forced to do it to get something close to what I want. 


That’s how Proxy Army was started. We were frustrated with how you don’t get what you wanted when you paid for it. We’ve all been through the problems with dealing with minis and that’s why we’re so excited about our models. Using 3D printing, you can access our entire database of parts, clip them together like Lego, and go all the way from concept to beautiful ultra-detail model. No bits if you don’t want them, no forced kitbashing to get what you want and no extra cost; each of our models is less than the price of a standard mini today. You can even work directly with our team of designers, and get completely original models and parts made from scratch.



We’ve got a Kickstarter coming up on November 5th and we hope you'd like to be a part of it. Proxy War is a mini line by gamers, for gamers, and it doesn't work without people like you. If you think 3D printing is neat and custom models are awesome or just want to find out more visit our website.
