Is it possible at this point in time to 3D print good plastic Rogue Trader Imperial Guard? Assuming a high end 3D printer. Picture unrelated.

Jesus fucking Christ, another person potentially stuck in Arkansas.
As to your question, it depends entirely on your modeller, your printer, and your medium. I've seen some really neat, really detailed small-scale stuff. Look up some videos on YouTube from 3d printing channels to see.
The real roadblock, as said, is going to be either not having a good modeller, or not being able to shell out for a good printer or medium.
I'm guessing you haven't seen files of the models online somewhere?

Ive been out of Arkansas for 3 years now after spending most of my life there and I can honestky say the only thing I miss is Fayetteville.

In what possible way could that be true.

I don't know what part of Arkansas you're from, but the job market where I am could suck a golf ball through a garden hose. If you're not a teenager, an old person, already employed by a competitor, or related to someone in a manager position or higher, you're not getting hired. Period.

Your target output device is going to be an SLA (StereoLithography Apparatus) printer rather than a cheaper FDM machine. There's a few low end SLAs on the market that could put out appropriate quality, but the upkeep on SLAs is expensive; the raw resin has a shelf life once you pop the cork. You'd need to keep it running or the materials will go to waste.

So am I seeing it right in that it prints stuff upside-down? Also, if it's using raw resin, wouldn't it make more sense to move it to an air-tight, vacuum-sealed container after opening, to keep it from spoiling?

OP, you fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

>it prints upside down?
Correct; laser is in the base along with a couple of motor controlled mirrors to aim the beam up into the resin tray and onto a build plate; the plate gets pulled into the air 1 layer at a time.
As to the resin spoilage, resealing it supposely makes things worse; the stuff nees to be optically clear, transferring it back and forth gets it dirtier.
there are no classic blunders in Arkansas
