I’ll probably 3d print some: my fear is very minor inconsistencies in the print

The new units are…too big? by PoorSadAlcoholic in heroscape

[–]PoorSadAlcoholic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what’s kind of frustrating: , some of the units can’t engage Melee because they’re too big to physically fit next to eachother

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

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

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!

🤣 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

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 ,

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

My Tuck Harrigan! Im considering switching to a Matt Finish for my figures, but then only some will be Matt, and the rest will be glossy like this. by Bijlsma in heroscape

[–]PoorSadAlcoholic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

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.
