Personally, I only buy plastic and in retail shop (support FLGS, social aspect of shopping). Ordering online gives me the creeps.

Tribes is an AMAZING deal, and if I had a printer and the time to operate it….
But, I am trying to cut down on my plastic consumption to what I can actually CONCEIVE painting in my lifetime.
Tribes blows through that in a SINGLE month, and I am only interested in “Death Fields”.

NOW, should cheap 3D-printed packs make their way to FLGS shops early, hard and often….I can ensure you I will only buy WA, ever.
Your collaborative research ethics in the early plastic designs were amazing, and I want to cleave to people who produce to that standard.

I sincerely do enjoy the greater variety we can get from the MMF Tribes. Things like femme sculpts, historical indigenous people, and other minis that may not have the super high demand of the more typical “Medieval Heavily Armored” designs. Heck, the variety in designs is what brought me to WGA in the first place.

I do prefer to work with plastic, as I really enjoy the process of modeling a bunch of minis, attaching limbs, working with poses, etc. and I still need to learn programs like Blender to better work with STL files.

I’m not always interested in a given month, but sometimes just one or two releases come out that convince me to get the month’s worth of packs (The Medieval Peasants, French Resistance Women, and Maori Fighters were the kits that got me most excited this month if you were wondering)

I also just enjoy following yall on tribes anyway. Excited to see where things go!

If you were wondering, I used to do some work with indigenous communities in the Western US and it’s a lot easier to get folks interested in a miniatures game if they can use cool stuff from their own history, even if it’s just some conversion weapon and head bits to slap onto some Warhammer Minis to make them more Plains Warrior-y

Since starting grad school, I haven’t had the time or motivation to keep my printer consistently operable – and usually prefer to only do small batches or items on it anyways (which I often sculpt myself)

I can see why people like Tribes but it’s not for me. I Ave no need for the most of the designs so I’d rather just buy the individual SLTs that I want.

Plus I’ll always prefer hard plastic to printed

I’ve sold my 3D printer because it just allows me to print myself into more trouble than I already am in.

Who knew? This has put me over the edge on getting a printer. I have wanted one for some time and this is the proverbial feather.

Tribes IS a good deal, but I just don’t need every month’s releases and the ones I am interested in are just Death Fields related.
