Any way to extract ship models?

[MrWiggly [TLS]]

I was wondering if there was a way to extract the 3D models for the ships from this game?
Was thinking it could be a great way to to help model proxies for the tabletop.

I myself don't know how to do this, but I can say it's not only possible but people are already using the game models to 3D print tabletop models. Here's a few examples I've found which might be a good starting point for you;

https://www.reddit.com/r/SciFiModels/comments/dsyywn/3d_printed_resin_retribution_class_battleship/ (First guy to do it I think)

Or here's a 3D printing website,
https://www.thingiverse.com/tag:Battlefleet_Gothic (There is a surprisingly large amount of ships already uploaded here)

There's probably more out there if your willing to look.

However this is a cautionary note, I'm not sure about the legality of this. BFG tabletop is no longer supported by GW but I'm willing to bet they both still own the assets and may file a cease and desist once they figure out whats going on. Do this at your own risk. For me I still remember GW nuking Chapter Master so I'll be sitting this one out till GW announces it's stance on the matter.

that resin print looks sick.

I have seen the range on thingiverse, while its great its far from complete unfortunately, especially with the less played races.

GW need to either put the game back into production, or GTFO of the way of players who are trying to keep it going with custom and home printed models.

Not selling it anymore is one thing, but to attach and shut down those who are trying to keep it going is just low.

I get its their IP, but really they should make it open for anyone while they are not actively selling the line.

Same with Man O' war.
And out of print models.

I continue to wonder about exactly this
