3D printing opens a whole raft of opportunities for painting those odd and interesting one-offs, as well as conversion parts or whole new miniatures available for an army. In some cases, it's easy to see exactly where the inspiration for some of these miniatures might have come from - I think it's fair to say that without the likes of the Death Korps of Krieg having come along first, these Valor Korps STLs wouldn't look like they do.
Meanwhile, there are companies which produce either accessories, conversion parts or entire miniatures cast in white metal or resin for sale, and most of those designed to deliberately stay close to the aesthetic design of Warhammer 40,000 in order that they're as compatible as possible - Victoria Miniatures, Mad Bob Miniatures, or some of the Anvil Industry line spring to mind as examples. Some folks will happily play games without having bought a single Citadel miniature, or supplement gaps in their range with third party choices. The discussion around what constitutes fair use, what is 'inspired by' and what gets close to bootleg miniatures is one which can get heated quickly - suffice to say that recasting extant miniatures to be made in resin and resold is about as direct a form of piracy as is possible with scale miniatures, and far removed from something like the Valor Korps deliberately made to have multiple visual differences from the Death Korps that inspired them.
Whether you play games at home or at clubs, or in Games Workshop stores and events, support the companies making the games and miniatures you enjoy.
Speaking of, check out onepagerules.com/ for a raft of free games and updates for the armies available to play! The expanded rulebooks are available for a fiver each if you want to get really in-depth with options, but each of these games is designed to be playable quite literally from a single sheet of paper. Brilliant stuff, and really fast and fun!
