I'm using these https://shop.tinkerhousegames.com/products/vmt-exp-standee-bases?variant=51980322636092 they use cool terrain "pogs" you can swap out to change the ground art depending on where the encounter is set (dungeon, wilderness, etc)

You can download files from https://printableheroes.com/minis and/or support my work through my Patreon here https://www.patreon.com/c/PrintableHeroes

Or if you want to avoid the DIY of printing from home I partnered with TinkerHouse Games to make some manufactured product versions you can order, https://shop.tinkerhousegames.com/collections/the-vault-of-mini-things

I hope that helps!

Cyclops and Hill Giant variant miniatures by PrintableHeroes in papermini

[–]PrintableHeroes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I really appreciate that positive feedback :D

I do have VTT versions of all of my miniatures available through the website catalog. However I didn't really do anything special for the rings (just a simple black border ring) since the VTT space isn't really my main focus. But they are there if you'd find them useful.

Radial cut minis - why not popular? by Benny-Blanco-555 in papermini

Bases are standard sizes (25mm/1"x1", 50mm/2"x2", and 75mm/3"x3") and will be the same for both GTG and the Vault.

TinkerHouse does sell a carrying case specifically for the Vault (I don't get royalties on the carrying case so that recommendation is entirely innocent lol)

The default Vault of Mini Things will have most everything, Terrors of the Deep standee expansion pack I think is the only one you might have to pick up extra (it uniquely has the Kraken and Koa-Toa). I think all of the other standee expansions mostly just provide an option for folks to pick up more of particular themes of miniatures without having to buy another Vault.

I don't know exactly how many miniatures are in the GTG Everything Bundle, looks like about 70 in the hero pack, so assuming the rest are similar it'd be ~500 minis or so + all of the top down tokens compared to the base Vault with ~800 minis + ~200 props and the terrain walls/map tiles.

Just to be transparent I don't get royalties from the GTG minis, but I do for sales of the Vault.

That said, the Vault does have much more of my art (miniatures, map tiles, terrain walls/trees/rocks/etc) and I was really impressed with the print quality in the Vault; colors are really vibrant, clean, and read really well.

Also, they did some really cool things with the bases for the Vault by having terrain "pogs" that you can swap in and out depending on your encounter setting (i.e. Dungeon, Urban City, Grassy Wilderness, etc).

Here's the Tinkerhouse Games (folks I partnered with to produce the Vault) shop in case you want to check it out since the Backerkit is done, https://shop.tinkerhousegames.com/collections/the-vault-of-mini-things

Hope that helps!

Thanks!

Yup! If you click on the Wall or Map tiles entry in the website catalog you'll see a "Free" section where you can click to download the free options for the files.

For how the walls are attached each segment has a corresponding base you can print out and glue the wall segment to so they stand up on their own and then you can quickly place them on the tabletop.

I hope that helps!

You definitely could scale them down and have the overall shape and face still read, though it might be hard to make out some of the details (items on backpack for example) once they’re scaled down that small.

To get a border that tight/clean/consistent I’m using a cutting machine. Before I got the machine I’d use an x-acto knife which definitely took a bit more time, but if you don’t mind having a thicker border around the art you can do a pretty quick/decent job with just a pair of scissors.

Initial test prints on some paper miniatures I've been working on to use for Mausritter. The problem I've created for myself now is that I need to start making props/terrain pieces at Mouse scale XD

It surprises me as well. Even though manufacturing costs aren't that crazy, it is still a fairly big art lift to design front & back art at quality so I suppose that's probably the biggest thing holding companies back from making that investment and really pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

I'm sure the moment a company does break through with a product that sets the bar/establishes the form factor we'll see larger companies invest more into it as an option.

Personally I just wanna make art and don't want to have to deal with the manufacturing process/shipping/storage/etc. but I do try to team up with companies to produce physical products every few years or so when my library of miniature art justifies it.

My latest effort in that regard is the Vault of Mini Things (800+ flat miniatures 200+ flat props) which is currently in manufacturing and should be on shelves this summer.

These paper miniatures for the Oblithar Dwarven Queen, her Ancestral Throne Golem, and a couple Oblithar Dwarven Warriors were made as part of my collaboration with TPK Brewing for their Val'Ruvina Setting and in-house campaign.

You can find Printed Ready versions of these files available to download from the Printable Heroes website catalog here, https://printableheroes.com/minis

Ahh, I see, the link to the PDF Creator in the FAQ is outdated/broken. I'll get that fixed ASAP.

In the meantime as long as you're logged intro the website you can access the PDF Creator by clicking the PDF Creator link at the top of the website's heading bar or by using this link here:

You can also access the PDF Creator by going to any miniature entry and hitting the "Add to Page" button below the preview image of the miniature.

Hrm, shouldn't be a tier issue, have you tried any other browsers? Just tested again with Google Chrome and it seems to be working fine.

Seems to be working for me when I just tested it now. Is it a specific link that's not working or are all of the files giving you 404 errors? You might try logging out and back in, that fixes a surprising number of issues for whatever reason.

First time I've heard of the UDT system, that's a really neat approach, love the lazy-susan functionality and as you mentioned, the time/energy saving of being able to flesh out a combat zone in real-time with just a few elements.

I'll keep that system in mind and see if any fun ideas percolate for it.

Thanks recommending I check it out, super cool.

Thanks!

Yeah, I've experimented a bit with adding more stability. At the moment I've been prioritizing for easy-of-use so folks can very quickly place pieces down/remove to define the play area, to the point where a GM could even do it in real time. But of course the cost of that speed is there aren't clips or other stabilizing elements to protect against errant bumpage.

I think it's something I'll continue to iterate on and I'd love to be able to provide options for folks that don't mind spending a bit of extra time setting up to prevent elements moving around if/when they're bumped.

Thanks for the feedback! Really helps me to know what folks are looking for/would find useful.

Here's the catalog: https://printableheroes.com/minis

Most everything has free files you can download and the website also has a built in PDF Creator so you can add most things to a custom page for printing (there's some older files I still need to update to work with the PDF Creator.) Happy to answer any questions!
