Anyone have ideas on suitable replacements for Epic 40k style dozer blades? Looking to add a bunch on my Iron Warriors army. Could scratch build or model them in 3d for shapeways...but curious if there are any alternatives to buy in bulk out there?

I've asked around and there's interest in modeling them in shapeways, but nobody has actually gotten around to doing it. I'd especially love to see an E40k-era Vindicator to E:A-era dozer blade.

Hint hint if you are a 3d modeler. :)

I plan on getting into CAD modelling in the next 6 months or so and a dozer blade is early on my to do list, but I need to save up for a new laptop first as my current one is like a decade old.

I actually did one yesterday (hadn't even seen this topic).
Mine are meant to be used for "squatifying" my rhinos.

My father printed it today but I haven't seen the result yet. If it works quality wise I will be doing several different versions (tilted, rounded and angled).

Shoel i did download your blade to check it out in blender/maya. I may get to modelling my own, with different variations and such, i guess for me its all about making sure it fits perfectly with the older rhinos, basilisks etc...let me know how yours turns out with the final 3d print!

I'll post photos as soon as i get my hands on the print out.
From heresay the rivets doesn't show up on the printed blade, so I might need to do them oversized.

Ground Zero Games Engineer equipment has a few nice blades on it along with cranes and digger buckets might be worth a look.

I assume you mean this

No clue as to why GZG can't get it together to actually put PICTURES OF THEIR MINIATURES ONLINE :{[]

I went old school and hand sculpted my own, then cast it in silicone to flush out my Imperial fists army. The blades I made were specifically for the vindicator (so it has the notch) but you could easily make one without.
