Grimdark sci-fi skirmish proxy printing
Soot-stained troopers carrying banner poles and aerials. A gang picking over scrap under cathedral machinery, with industrial ruins behind them and a whole grim place waiting to be built.
The sculptors sell these files themselves, so start with them. Pick the squads and the ruins you want, then bring the files back here when you are ready to see them in resin.

How to get Grimdark sci-fi skirmish proxy printing files to print
Get the files from whoever sculpted them first. Some ranges come as a monthly collection and some are sold one sculpt at a time. Save what you want, upload it here and pick a height.
What we need from the file
One miniature per STL, exactly as it came out of the download. Send the plain model rather than a pre-prepared or sliced version, because those confuse the sizing, and we do that part here.
No bases. We print the miniature, not the base it stands on, so leave those out of what you send. If a model comes in parts, upload each part separately and we will print them together.
Questions
Can you print my STL file?
Yes. Upload it above, size it foot to eye, and the tool prices the job on the spot. You need to own the model or have the right to have it printed, and one of our team checks every file before it goes on a printer.
How much does it cost?
The price appears the moment your file uploads, worked out from the size you choose, and it is the whole price with nothing to add afterwards. There is no minimum order, so one model is a perfectly normal order.
What size can I have it printed at?
28mm, 32mm, 35mm, 55mm or 75mm measured foot to eye, or type an exact height instead. 75mm is the largest we print.
Do you print bases?
No. We print the miniature itself, so leave bases out of what you send. If a model comes in parts, upload each part separately and we will print them together.
When will I receive my order?
We dispatch five days a week and print on demand. Our average dispatch time is four days, and a very large order has taken as long as twenty. You can contact us at any time to check on your order, and we can usually part-dispatch a UK order that is taking longer than usual.
What are the miniatures made from, and do I need to wash them?
Light-reactive resin, and no. Every miniature is dispatched washed and cured, so it arrives clean and ready to prime and paint.
What does postage cost?
UK standard postage is £3.95, or free over £50. Large or fragile parcels are £5.50, or free over £50. International parcels are $26 to the USA, free over $115, and $18 to Canada, free over $150.
What if a thin sword or barrel arrives bent?
Our resin flexes rather than snaps, which protects it in the post, so a slim part can arrive slightly bent. Dip it in lukewarm water for a second, hold it straight as it cools, and the new position locks in. Repeat if it needs it, and ask us if you would rather we advised first.
What if my file will not print?
Every custom print is made to order from your file, and we cannot know whether a model will print until we try. If yours cannot, we refund the miniature fee in full. The setup fee covers preparation already done and is not refundable, and a made to order print is exempt from change of mind returns.
We also print
Grimdark sci-fi is a look before it is a game. Soot on the armour, cathedrals built like factories, gangs picking over scrap in the ruins, squads carrying banner poles and aerials, every trooper looking like it has been somewhere unpleasant. Detail that fine wants a print that keeps it.
Our grimdark miniature printing service works from the files on your drive. The sculptors sell those files themselves, so pick the squads and ruins you want first, then upload them here. The price is on the page as soon as a file lands, with nothing to fill in and no minimum spend; one trooper counts as an order, so a force for your chosen skirmish system can be built one squad at a time.
Every figure comes out of our own UK studio as a crisp grey resin print, the soot-catching texture intact, washed, cured and despatched ready for primer.
