All purchases are final.
Because these are digital products, we don’t offer refunds.
Problems?
This store is new so there’s bound to be bugs in this system. But don’t worry. We’ll make sure you’re taken care of!
If there was an issue with payment or getting access to the download files post-purchase (not getting credit for the files, missing download links, incorrect links, etc), please let us know ASAP so we can get that sorted for you.
Quality
These are community-made digital files. We make every effort to ensure that the files are complete and printable, but some files may benefit from dropping them in Microsoft’s completely free 3D Builder before printing to make any repairs they may need (it’s literally a one-click fix in 3D Builder). Some files may need to be rescaled as well.
Refunds
These files are sold as-is so take that into account when purchasing. We don’t offer refunds so make sure that you’re okay with taking a chance on these files. We suggest buying a couple and printing them to make sure you’re comfortable with these models before going crazy and purchasing everything you want.
Download immediately
After purchase, we suggest you download the files to your computer immediately. As you know, the proxy model community is constantly hit with copyright takedown notices so there’s no guarantee our store will be up forever. We don’t knowingly offer licensed models and we have a process for creators to request removal if some accidently make it into our files. But that isn’t a perfect solution for an aggressive multi-national corporation.
A final note
Keep in mind that we’re just like you – proxy-printing enthusiasts. We’re not out here to rip anyone off or take advantage of them. We simply created the store and community we wish we had access to when we started collecting proxy models. So feel free to reach out to us!
We only accept Bitcoins because we don’t want you to have to share your sensitive Paypal, credit card or bank details!
The First Number: Proximity to the Original
This number measures how closely a model replicates the original exemplar. The scale ranges from 90% to 60%, with 90% representing the highest achievable precision. Perfection is an illusion, and no scan model will ever reach 100%.
90-80 = Nearly identical to the original, with minimal deviations in poses, clothing, shape, and size. Ideal for connoisseurs who appreciate the original.
75-60 = Artistic reinterpretations that often surpass the original, especially when featuring high detail accuracy. For those who wish to transcend the mundane.
The Second Number: Model Detail Level
This number indicates the depth of detail in the model, not the quality of the digital file, but the visible details in the printed model.
10 = Extremely detailed
9 = Very detailed
8 = Moderately detailed
7 = Some flaws, but acceptable
6 = No outstanding details, but functional
Buying Guide
If you want 1:1 files, you should purchase files rated at 90 – that’s 1:1. A 90/10 is a 1:1 sculpt. A 90/9, 90/8, or 90/7 is a 3D scan. We have the 90/7s on the site for people who just want a 1:1 for a game they’re playing. The 90/7s will look fine for the tabletop if you put some quick paint on it, but a 90/7 isn’t going to be something you’ll want to display.
Anything not rated 90 is a sculpted proxy. 85s are excellent and are usually builders (a multipart kit with lots and lots of options). A lot of people prefer an 85 over a 1:1 because there are usually more option in the builders than the 1:1. It should be noted that the 85s are an extremely close match to the 90s – most people won’t be able to tell that it’s a proxy. So – with an 85 – you get a super close 1:1 with way more configuration options.
Keep in mind that we don’t have exclusive distribution rights to these files. While most (about 90%) are not available on the public internet, some ARE publicly available – and some are available for free elsewhere.
The main reason to purchase from Necronempire is convenience – so you don’t have to spend hours chasing down files that have already been removed or endlessly downloading poor quality proxies hoping you’ll get something usable. If saving money is more important to you than saving time, we highly recommend you search for files on the public internet before purchasing anything from us.
If you have any questions about the files – you’re concerned you may already own them from elsewhere – just contact us and we’ll be happy to help you out before you purchase anything.
