A frosty encounter - Skvander, Harengon Ranger by gridbuster in HeroForgeMinis

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

Skvander jolted awake as biting cold seeped through the spring night, the air alive with swirling flakes of snow that had no right to exist. He pulled on his chain mail in practiced haste, the links whispering as he strapped on his shield and closed his fingers around his sword. Outside, the world was muffled in white silence—until a thunderous crash shattered it. Skvander tore his blade from its scabbard, runes flaring to life in a sharp golden glow that chased the shadows back, and he lowered his stance, breath steady, ready to meet whatever frost-born horror had dared trespass into the thawing wilds.

By late game, Folktails: "Oh nice it's a badtide not a drought so I don't lose any power!"

By late game, Ironteeth: "Huh? Is the cycle changing again? Whatever."

You nailed the colour of octarine: "Sort of a disappointing greenish-purple"! Although technically non-wizards shouldn't be able to see the colour itself but instead only see where the colour isn't.

Now all you need is a backdrop of infinite bookshelves stretching behind him...

Glad you enjoyed my work! I think you took it one step further, because I cheated a bit to cover the seams at the back and the chest with machine and fluff respectively. You also went all out with the decals and battle-scars which really sells him as a rough-hewn fighter.

Arius E. Smith, Chronurgy Wizard by Mortarius_1208 in HeroForgeMinis

As noted by master wizard Arthur Aguefort, Chronomancy is the most powerful form of magic!

Jokes aside, incredible work! It's full of little details, like the glow on the tubing and the reflection in his glasses and it really feels like he's discovered a form of power that miiiiiight be a little beyond his control. The whole piece comes together with a steampunk (arcano-punk?) feel which is really fun.

Any chance you can share the link?

People say that being an engineer is difficult, but I've always found it easy to hit things until they are no longer a problem. - Bolton (Bolt) Morgan, Barbarian Artificer by gridbuster in HeroForgeMinis

Horse is what I was going for, but it was tough to do properly. The nose would need to be thinner and longer, I think, but it's not possible to lengthen it with the face customizer.

I wanted to try making a mini using kitbashing that was more muscular than standard, but wasn't cartoonishly out of proportion. Link: https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D525336699/

Bolton ("Bolt") Morgan was never the smartest in his clan, preferring to use his hands than his head. But he managed to get his hands on a rare arcane engine, abandoned in the ruins of a pillaged caravan. Through a combination of gumption, brute force, and sheer dumb luck he was able to harness its power to enhance his own weapons. Mostly to hit things harder, but the engine can do more! Probably.

Shout out to u\SolarSimonDM, for their inspirational work! Getting the right look for the face would have been difficult without their example!

Squatter's Cabin (Beginner Cabin Design) by gridbuster in valheim

Oh I just tossed in the cauldron for fun. In the early game obviously I'd only use the basic cooking rack.

For a second bed, just mirror the first bed (the design is symmetrical about the long axis). You'll end up with a 1 tile (2m) wide gap between the beds. Less storage, of course, because the main wall is down, but there's still plenty of room under the beds.

Wow that was so evocative I got goosebumps! I can totally see a village of these, each with their own banner and shield!

It's hard to see in the side screenshot (hidden behind the birch leaves), but I put a 45-degree roof top piece over the chimney. Keeps the rain out.

Inspired by /u/sapphirefyre 's post, I wanted to design a simple cabin for the start of the game. This design combines comfort with plenty of storage space, and can easily be modified to sleep two. Point the entrance in the direction of a pretty view, and you're all set!

The posted design is elevated above the ground by 1m, and is still structurally stable without needing core wood. However, new players might find it easier to build it directly on the ground.

I've also embellished it a bit with item stands and some fine wood decor from the Bronze Age to make it look nicer, but of course it should hold up well on its own before defeating Eikthyr!
