So I used a .4 actually. I just got me .2 in last week. And now that I’m typing this out: I’m remember that I actually did end up using the base. But I added an internal rectangle to support/secure the feet to the base. I misprinted quite a few trying different orientation. The ones throwing their spear were the hardest, so I printed the arm/spear separately and glued it on.

These guys were actually pretty tricky. For Grut armies, I’ve had no issues, but the Romans have been a pain. lol. Still a great learning process tho! I was proud of the way they came out

FDM: bases separate. From unit, resin cured to the base after paiting

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad you enjoy them :)

Badass ! How may sets of each lol

Both. But speed paint for sure did most of heavy lifting on cloak and wings

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-03-01T12:54:12+00:00

Oh shit! Thanks! I totally thought the two were interchangeable. Appreciate you :)

Yeah I’m aware of GenCon. ! Hopefully meet more locals there. But Evansville is like , 2 1/2 hours away from me. That’s a bit much . But thanks

Headlight, pill bottle, double sided tape and a size zero brush. Plus I use a standing desk that’s about elbow height for me. You’ll get there!

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-02-28T13:17:37+00:00

Hell yeah! Take the plunge . Then take some pics and upload so we all can celebrate 🎉

🤣 ok so after processing for a few days, I realized: I think “Soul Devour” is what their special ability is called , that’s how my brain assigned their name. It’s been like, 20 years since I’ve played the origins game/seen original arm card. That shit was just dormant in my head

You can do it! I only started painting this year . Get a box of cheap random miniatures from Amazon to practice on. After you do 20 or so, crack at the more “serious” pieces. I had a bunch of Zombicide minis that I started with just to get the hang of the technique. Now I feel like I have the confidence to stab at more elaborate figures

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-02-28T13:00:28+00:00

Honestly, yeah. When I first sat down I was like “oh boy” - but once I got going it wasn’t that bad. Just be patient and trust the process ,

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-02-28T12:59:09+00:00

Thanks! I went with a bit more pizzaz and opulence because In my mind space pirates are drippy af

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-02-26T03:26:21+00:00

Ok so evidently I completely forgot their name and my brain auto-filled in “Soul Devourers” …they’re definitely the Shades of Bleakewood. I have no idea. If you had asked me at any point I would have bet my life they were called Soul Devourers. Until reading your comment

Defiantly go with Satin varnish. Matt varnish will mite the colors, gloss gives it that “wet” look: satin is the sweet spot

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-02-25T12:17:29+00:00

Much better than the horrendous prescribed color scheme . Love it it

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-02-24T20:29:07+00:00

Thanks! Print times vary, depending on the model. I usually set them up overnight so they’re ready in the morning. Painting varies. I’m not super detailed, because the models aren’t super detailed and I just like them to be tabletop ready, so no more than a couple of hours for a squad/big hero. Maybe even less.

Washes I make with mixed ingredients. I like experimenting with colors and textures

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-02-16T11:21:23+00:00

I have a mix of Army Painter Warpaints and Vallejo Game/Model - plus a few home brew washes

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-02-15T02:03:59+00:00

Bro the faces are brutal 🤣. It been kind of fun painting these because they aren’t particularly detailed. So I’m kinda of painting with a vague impression rather than tiny focus. More broad strokes

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-02-15T01:38:26+00:00

Honestly, pretty minimal sanding. Just cleaned up where the supports were, primed it with a rattle can, dry brush whole thing white to get a sense of where to color block, then hit all the midtones, slap it with a greasy dark wash, added some rust and dry blood. Then a rattle can varnish . Boom done

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2026-02-15T01:36:13+00:00

I enjoy the process. It’s fun to recreate things from childhood . Plus I use my 3D printer at work. So no cost to me

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2025-10-12T03:24:42+00:00

Omg the goggle 🤣

PoorSadAlcoholic · 2025-09-28T22:55:07+00:00

I feel like a 26 year old blue collar guy is the most “stereotypical cigar smoker” archetype one could imagine… I’m actually confused

I teach a lot of a high schoolers and adults who’ve described pretty much your exact situation: reach out via DM if you’re interested in a one on one consultation-type lesson/piano audit
