As i said, it's possible, but it's not guaranteed to look anything like the original model. I'm unfamiliar with the baneling as a model but I'm assuming it's probably not hairy, right?
Star Craft 2 models aren’t hairy at all, because they’re really low poly. The engine has to be able to display hundreds of them on a single screen.
Some have some thorn-like protrusions, but I intentionally didn’t try to print them, since they’re way harder to get working.
Yeah this is exactly the kind of model you would want to use to print, my take is that this is indeed possible but there are a lot of selection criteria for the models to work, which you can't expect a newbie to catch and that will still require a lot of postprocessing before they're actually printable.
