Nice - this who 2E thing has me so stuck on the forum I read this here first instead of via my Humble emails.

Don’t have a printer yet but will get nonetheless.

Do you or anyone know if this is STL files or what format it is? Some of these I figure could be 3d-carved as well as printed.

STL files.

Awesome. That is highly carveable. :)

Awesome heads up, thanks for the notice. Bagged a copy for myself. Now all I need is a 3d printer. ;)

Cnc carving is done with a rotary tool under computer control as to be very exact, it takes away material to shape items and I generaly work in wood

Ok another sucker.
No 3d printer.
Unlikely to ever play with minis.
But I bought it anyway :)

They're getting so cheap now that it's not bad to pick one up as a hobby.

I have a 3D printer and mainly use it to print board game stuff.

There was recently a Kickstarter for the Dragonlock miniatures, with addons for the terrain.

The recommended printer for these is the Creality Ender-3.

Nope, I haven't picked one up yet, but plan to as soon as we move (3-4 months, new home, new town, crappy commute)

You can pick up an Ender 3 for around $200 if you shop around. It’s amazing the quality of terrain and minis this can turn out (in terms of FDM 3D printing). There’s a couple of small upgrades recommended, the total cost is usually less than $250. Then you’ll need to buy filament - around $20-$25 per KG, which will give you a lot of prints.
