I recently started learning Swedish with the long-term goal of studying in Sweden and I thought this would be a good way to combine two of my interests.

I mostly do German longsword but this seems like a great excuse to branch into other systems and weapons. I am aware that the Caroleans of the early 1700s made heavy use of rapiers in combat but exactly how or what they trained is beyond me.

I probably should have done this before ordering my army but I was hoping to get some feedback on how best to play this list; I'm magnetizing them and getting all the wargear options so switching those when needed should be no problem.

The plan is that the Kahl would lead one Hearthguard squad and the Champion the other one, these would be my hammer to take out large enemy units or strike their home objective. The Thunderkyn would go in the HLF to reinforce critical objectives and the Iron-master would follow close behind to use their Lone Operative ability. The Hearthkyn squad would be split with one half guarding the home objective and the other would go in the Sagitaur with the Grimnyr to achieve missions.

I know about Puppetswar and while their models are great they're just not my favorites, I'd prefer something closer to the original SM aesthetic but really anythin is worth taking a look at.

Edit: I know I can just drill magnet slots into other designs I like but since I'm planning to print a lot of minis and only have a hand drill that isn't a viable option so I'm specifically looking for designs that already have magnet slots.

Because it's made of hide.

Hi, I'm currently on the lookout for my first printer and after some research I managed to narrow down my option to a handful of printers but I'm still undecided and was hoping to get some help. While I am considering a couple of open-framed bedslingers (A1 and Kobra X) I would much prefer an enclosed CoreXY as I live in a high humidity area. I have some experience with 3D printers but I'm still a beginner and I'm not planning to upgrade anytime soon so I'm okay with a more advanced printer I can learn and grow with.

Budget: 400 - 600 USD but can go up to 750 - 800 USD if it's a really good deal

Country: Mexico but can ship to the US

Intended use: Medium to large cosplay pieces, decorative prints, prototyping, 40k vehicles if the quality allows it.

Required features:

• Minimum 250 mm^(3) printing surface
• Can print PLA, PETG and TPU
• CoreXY system
• Enclosed frame

Desired features:

• Multicolor (2-4) system with filament drying feature
• Air filtration
• Open-source software
• Heated chamber
• Can print ABS

Limitations:

• High humidity area
• Air circulation in the room would be less than ideal

Candidates:

Here's all the printers I'm considering right now, their pros and cons, and their costs in USD; if anyone has any other suggestions I'm all ears.

• Qidi Q2 ($500) --> Slightly larger print surface, no AMS but has a heated chamber.
• Qidi Q2 Combo ($650) --> Meets all my needs and AMS dries filament while printing but don't know much about the brand.
• Bambu Lab P2S ($550) --> Has everything I need but no AMS or filamet dryer.
• Bambu Lab P2S Combo ($800) --> Exactly what I'm looking for but over my preferred budget at the regular price.
• Bambu Lab X2D ($650) --> Dual nozzle is tempting, air filter is better, and the temperature-controlled chamber could help with humidity and printing ABS, but has no AMS.

Additional questions:

• If I don't get an AMS/dryer, is it okay if I store my filament in a homemade dry box and only take it out when I'm going to print? Or is that short time span enough for the filament to absorb the humidity in the air?
• Are there any accessories or tools I should get with a new printer? I'm already looking into getting a UPS and a dedicated desk for my work station but I'm guessing some extra filament or nozzles would be a good idea.

Looking forward to your recommendations and advice and thank you all for your help!
