​I think when the Emperor said:

"Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war forge them"

I don't think this is what he meant.

"THEY'RE politically DUBIOUS..." 😂😂😂

"she took the kids" absolutely destroyed me.

Have the little box for old school termies and genestealers and you can make yourself an adorable version of Space Hulk.

That stone cold "she took the kids." had me rolling.  lol!

So after the first couple minutes I was like ooooo, new Warhammer game mode idea: that box is a canon mechanic, some kind of cloning vat or whatever, and part of your struggle to win is trying to outcompete your opponent in unit production... and then behold, Necromolds did it xD

I do really enjoy the irony of a “how can I make infinite space marines?” Video in which a 3D printer is used, but not to make infinite space marines

The true "We have Space Marines at home" experience!

i think the (green-stuff ?) failed molds would be really cool for space-marine based shrines and statues, for like 'in memory of such and such battle brother', and there's a sort of vietnam-war-memorial style wall or gazebo temple, of his various legendary deeds and battles, or something.

Perhaps worth trying DAS again, but rather than pulling it out as soon as you've pressed, letting it dry fully. Since paperclay is airdry and it shrinks as it dries, it would pull itself out of the mold and you wouldn't have any lean or distortion. It would just take a little longer. You could also just use an exacto knife to cut any fiddly remains.

The real question is: can we seal the mould with anything that makes it suitable for food? EDIBLE SPACE MARINES

I thought about it and i agree...
You are Louise.

If you want a REALLY sturdy marine, you could turn this 3D print mould into a rubber mould and cast it in white metal. Now that's old school.

Just out here appreciating the effort that went into the play doh dreadnought that featured in 2 seconds of footage

letting them dry a bit or even almost fully dry before pulling them out of the mould would help prevent some of the deforming, back in Ye olde days I used a lot of homemade press moulds, mostly for smaller stuff like guns and details and letting them dry really helped a lot , in part of the shirking it will come loss easier and its more firm so less bendy, couple of wires or sprue pressed into the center also helps with that. good luck looks like a fun project

Fun fact putting Super Sculpey into a cold place such as a freezer stiffens it up to make it less likely to deform. Also, you could pack both sides and then close it to have less squeeze-out.

When you made the candle space marine I thinked that your next step was to make a "lost wax" casting with bronze or another melted metal like the traditional sculpture method. Great video, very fun! ❤🎉

Anyone who has tried to unblock their child's playdough extruder is not surprised that it dried out rock hard.

An alternative title to this video could have been.

James Workshop HATES this one trick for INFINITE Space Marines!

I have several actual units made of DAS clay and greenstuff-like resin and I would caution that DAS clay will break over time when handled, unless the surface is soaked in glue to harden it. It is very porous so it will absorb it to decent depth. It shrinks a lot too, so I only used it for certain flat parts like cloaks and non-human minis like trolls. Once painted and on the table, you cant tell at a glance which of my minis are hard plastic and which are DAS.
Also, regarding the amount of material and pressing, this seems quite excessive. My general approach was to just fill each half exactly with material , then add a little bit to the center to force the two halves to merge and create pressure on the details, but minimize material waste, needed pressure and mould lines. Generally you could produce ok result pressing with hands only.
