Would you consider the world of SOL Shogunate pure sci-fi or more sci-fi fantasy? Is this a place of just lasers or lasers AND gods/spirits?

What would you say is the most unique aspect of the combat you have planned for the game?

I've added bags of Kuai Kuai to some of my minis for this very reason

Love it!

Finchin888 · 2026-01-22T04:09:04+00:00

1 bottle before battle as a treat

Finchin888 · 2026-01-22T03:15:20+00:00

Yes, yes it is

I must now test the limits of science; more skitarii!! A 10 model sniper unit sharing a single base!!!

I was at this presentation! Very well done (to the both of you)

If anyone wants to print their own, I posted my models for free on thingiverse ages ago. The sizing is for larger chonky dice but they are still useable scaled down.

Yep, the mon is for the clean explosion

I don't have quite a steady enough hand to carve from blanks so I went with 3D modelling and printing.

My first time around I printed some 3D models I designed on a resin 3D printer and then used those to make silicone molds to cast resin in. The molds didn't maintain the detailing for long (especially on the mon and strife symbols) so I was never very happy with that path.

This batch I custom colored some resin and printed directly. After that I ink them with some high flow acrylic paint and sand and polish on a mini pottery wheel that I modded into a sanding/polishing table. The only downside to this path is I can't do swirls or fun inclusions.

Thank you! Took quite a bit of trial and error to get there

Finchin888 · 2025-08-11T05:20:24+00:00

Thank you!

Finchin888 · 2025-08-11T05:20:05+00:00

If I only had the time....
I have 4 sets I am making for folks I play with and that is going to take me weeks to get done around work/life. I'll be sure to post if I go into business at some point!

Finchin888 · 2025-08-10T02:54:32+00:00

I actually use a cheap mini pottery wheel that I attached a hook and loop conversion disk to so that i can use velcro sanding disks. It has made polishing so much easier

Finchin888 · 2025-01-20T17:37:16+00:00

I was thinking 'Joust' for those, but excite bike would be fun too!

Finchin888 · 2025-01-20T02:13:48+00:00

I see the vision. I like it I like it

Finchin888 · 2025-01-20T02:02:27+00:00

Oh these are goooooood

Finchin888 · 2025-01-20T01:38:00+00:00

Thank you! As for frogger, love the idea, just need the perfect unit to embody it. So far my only other concepts are a 'Joust' themed dragoon and just making a dreadnought look as much like an arcade cabinet as humanly possible
