And since there's an entire wall of models & kits about 15' away from the tables. One could make a similar argument against 3d printed stuff, but people seeing us play would still be seeing models being used. Well, we booted one kid off the tables at the shop when he tried to run an army made out of tokens (with tiny pictures of the real models) & cardboard tents depicting the tanks & such.Д«ut mostly because if we allowed this type of crap then we'd be directly undermining the shops sale of models. Q: Is there a point where people draw the line? I don't care if you buy GW, buy company xyz, scratch build/convert your own, etc. Q: Are accurate proxies ok? Does anything go so long as it's clear what it is? Q: Are people ok with 3D printed terrain, models, objectives, etc in 40k? But at least with scratchbuilds you can get the rare few that match (and sometimes exceed) the quality of the GW kit, 3d prints are almost inevitably trash. If it looks like I don't want it on my table.

Same thing applies with most papercraft, scratchbuilds, etc. The kind of 3d printer that people are thinking of when they talk about cheap substitutes for the real model can't come anywhere near the quality of the real thing, and nobody is going to spend more (likely much more) than the cost of the GW kit to get it done on a high-end printer. It's different because the quality is inevitably garbage. If someone balks, why is it any different than using papercraft, scratch-built or proxied models from other companies? It's simply the method of manufacture that's different in the end.
