I'm trying to get a friend (and his son who is of a similar age to mine) into Warhammer 40K (and/or Grimdark Future). He loves the idea, but the cost of the Games Workshop models is somewhat prohibitive for him, so I've started 3D printing him an army (Orks). These free models I found online aren't fantastic sculpts, but they're great for the price, and they'll make fine proxies for Ork Boyz. The one really annoying thing is, they're on 25mm bases, which is a size too small for proper Boyz. It's not a HUGE deal, but in Warhammer the base is really the main part of the model that interacts with the game mechanics, so it's somewhat important. I could probably dick around in Blender for a while and put these guys on 32mm bases and re-print them. Instead I've chosen to print a bunch of 32mm blanks and he can just glue their tiny bases on top of appropriate ones.
