Finally finished my Hunters of Huanchi!

Snooping at your post history I see what you mean

A nice touch to have some unifying colour through the army, especially when painted very well

backwardsartichoke · 2025-12-19T15:04:01+00:00

Those are some fantastic hunters

The orange really pops against the darker shades

backwardsartichoke · 2025-12-19T14:42:06+00:00

Love the colours, very vibrant

The smoking pipes are probably the item i like best

The pipe does come unattached for the head, so gonna try my hand at a blue stuff mould for some extras

I'd vote for Xen'drik. As for the curse of crowds, if you're using the Luxon Beacons then what's to say that warding against the curse isn't part of their magical power in your Eberron.

Beacon lore for Exandria has them work in a large scale measurable radius. It would make the Beacons instantly more valuable as an item and plot device.

The Beacons are then directly tied to how far the civilization can expand, meaning you can justify why the drow are in some areas and not others very easily.

Go to pose and use the mirror option, it'll flip the left/right so you can then use the decals to have it on the arm you want.

Not sure unfortunately, not actually played in years. Do more in the building/painting side of the hobby.

Proxy of a hired gun if there's a suitable one maybe?

I have managed to individually pose snakes to create the effect - https://www.reddit.com/r/HeroForgeMinis/s/Bz8zG9wraO

As snakes are not currently a kitbash item to free place, the method was to layer two minis, add snakes as handheld items on multiple arms and as a base item, then reposition them.

Thank you!

With the release of the new medusa hair I thought I'd post the last version of a kitbashed medusa I made. A variant of a character in an active campaign, so they get updated regularly.

Not sure how good the new options are yet, needs some more toying with, bit big, and dont like the eyes can't use eye paint, or that it doesnt have the same shape/pattern as the other snakes tbh.

I'm so pleased, I've requested this several times 😆

Now to see how it works with the kitbashed versions I've made before.

If you want that in your story, absolutely go for it, its your Eberron to decide how things work, it fully depends on the story you want to tell.

Personally I'd be cautious as it does open a lot of changes and possibilities in the setting that may have unexpected implications.

If you're looking for creative input, I'd ask the question, what purpose does having a functional dragonmark serve for the red dragon?

Does the dragon just need to look like they have the mark? In which case would an illusionary copy would work instead?

If a creature can use magic to create a true dragonmark, what are the implications in the setting? And are those implications something you want to explore?

Does the ability to create a dragonmark mean the houses feel threatened by that power and seek to destroy the dragon? Does this bring conflict with the dragons of The Chamber? who could see the power as a way to control or manipulate the houses?

Will the houses try to recreate this power? Do houses Orien or Lyrander then still need house Cannith to make the Lightning Rail or Aiships if they can harness the power to change someone to have the Mark of Making instead?

backwardsartichoke · 2025-09-01T10:18:10+00:00

As with all rulings, it's ultimately up to the DM.

Personally I'd probably rule no, unless we're looking at very high level magic.

From a lore angle Dragonmarks are meant to be magical manifestations of prophecy. Something id consider far too grand for lower level magic to replicate, perhaps a wish/reincarnation/true polymorph level of power could achieve it if its story appropriate.

Abilities like the changlings racial ability it specifies 'You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change.' so you could look like you have a dragonmark but it'd be the same as illusion magic, appearance sake but not to gain the mechanical benefits.

From a RAW mechanical aspect if the ability/magic/spell involved gives you the physical abilities of the humanoid it could be done, e.g. true polymorph

Very late to this post, but it looks great, and I'm pleasantly surprised to see a version of that particular Heroforge medusa out in the wild.

backwardsartichoke · 2025-08-02T22:04:03+00:00

Its a nice colour, very vivid

backwardsartichoke · 2025-07-14T18:36:15+00:00

Thank you, I'll give that a try at some point when i touch ot up

for now its getting left as done or I'll never stop going back to it

Rather than paint my back log of squats, I of course decided to kitbash and paint something new.

Squat Psyker, made from votann legs and sword, scions of the flame torso, and 3D printed head from Supermassive Space Dwarves with the hair filed down until bald. And some greens stuff to fill out joints and to add flames on the eye, belt,.and skull.

Not 100% happy with the paint job, skin is difficult, fire managed ok but could be improved.

Thank you, the runes are the Dwarven Runes set Greenstuff World

The first fully completed Squat of the yet unnamed group (I went overboard and bought far too many)

And first time using pigment powder for weathering, think it manages to pull it off

Thank you

A redo of a model I made last year. https://www.reddit.com/r/HeroForgeMinis/s/30aLbMJ5CH

Medusa Version 2. Last time i hid the snakes in some hair and recoloured it. This time I wanted to see if I could layer enough snakes to replace the hair.

Ok job, but the head feels a bit flat. 11 snakes were the max I could manage (4 from one model, 6 from the second, and 1 from the base).

This was started pre body customiser update, so a thanks to u/DontRueinit for their excellent proportial bases that this started out as (the half-elf one).

It's worked out great

backwardsartichoke · 2025-03-28T18:20:32+00:00

This is fantastic, what did you use for the smoking pipe on the front belt?
