The beginnings...
It's just a game
The WKM story began with my kids wanting to start playing Dungeons & Dragons. I had only heard of the game, but never played. I ordered the Essentials Kit and began my journey into becoming a DM for the game. I had the kids craft their own custom character minis online and decided that I would be better served to look into 3d printing so that I wasn't buying more minis when they got broken. I soon learned that 3d printing with resin wasn't as simple as just buying a printer and some resin. There is a quite a bit more involved with post processing the prints and learning to properly print with the many different resins that are available.
As time went on, I had honed in my DM skills as well as my printing skills. I soon stumbled upon Flesh of Gods, a digital STL creator, and fell in love with the style and quality of their models. In no time, my campaign began to focus around each Flesh of Gods release. It has been a fantastic journey for me and my players as the story has taken many twists and turns through the various releases.
How bad can it be?
Resin is resin, right?
Early into my playing and printing journey, I found that it was quite easy to break these small miniatures during typical gameplay. I then set out on my own quest to find a resin that would retain the detail of high quality display resins but with increased durability that would withstand the handling of careless kids and clumsy adults at the game table. After countless hours of calibrating and testing various resins, I had found a custom mixture of resins that fit my needs. I was creating beautiful prints that were holding up to active gaming. My players were always in awe to see the models on the table. They had all of the details clearly printed and players would "ohh and ahh" over them. This gave them an extra push to dive deeper into the campaign story as they could more easily envision the heroes and enemies at play. They did not have to imagine how wicked the dragon appeared because there it was in the physical realm staring them down.
From a humble start
A demand is born
My players were so impressed with the models that they began wanting to purchase them for their own personal displays and uses outside of our game. Their excitement of the prints prompted me to begin sharing pictures of the prints across various social media outlets. The pictures were highly praised and a demand for these incredibly high quality prints began to grow. It was then that I realized I had a unique formula that wasn't common in the "print on demand" market. I began getting contacted by others to commission prints of such high quality. I wanted to see just how far the rabbit hole went and decided to set up a printing service that would help bring these stunning prints to the tables of others all around the nation. Thus, War King Miniatures was born.
As we grow
Evolution takes its toll
Manufacturers are always pushing the evolution of printers and resins in this industry. I want to stay ahead of the curve and am always on the look out for the next best resin, or printer, for tabletop gaming. I have tested many different resins and will continue to do so as time goes on so that WKM can deliver the best possible prints for gaming, display, and painting. While resins may change, the quality of a WKM print will only get better as I continue to test new resins with a strict quality control to achieve the highest quality currently available on the market. You can be assured that WKM will be the only print service you need due to our strict quality demands.

Models on hand
Through this journey, I have selected a few creators who I believe offer the very best of the best models available. I am a licensed merchant for Flesh of Gods, The Dragon Trappers Lodge, Claymore Miniatures, and Magnetic Foundry. These 4 creators stand out for their high quality models that can be scaled up to stunning display pieces due to the extremely high polygon count of their models. Unfortunately though, these creators offer so many models that I can't possibly list them all on this storefront. However, my licensing permits me to print any of their offerings. So, please feel free to check them out on MyMiniFactory to see every model that they offer if you don't find something on the WKM store that suits your needs. If you are still unable to find a particular model, or you have a model from a different creator, then I am more than happy to offer a print service for any STL (digital model) that you may own. The print service still retains 100% of the quality that WKM models are known for. You will receive your model printed to the same standards as those pictured here on this storefront. If you have any questions at all, or would like to inquire about the 3d printing service, please feel free to reach out. I am eager to answer those questions and meet your 3d printing needs.
