Hades Hoplites - 3D prints

These are all multi-part and interchangeable, printed at 28-30mm historical size - the same as the rest of the Atheros mythology range I have (which also match the size of Victrix plastics.)

Faun Slingers - 3D prints

I painted these up as underworld shades. They're printed smaller and I like them, and were a good exercise in understanding the style of a sculpt vs the intended print size.

I've always ignored people talking about "scale" when it comes to miniatures, it's more about size and style for me.

LOTR critters - Rangers of Shadow Deep (worms and wasps)

These are all 3D prints, which I'll make available once I decide on a retail platform.

Rangers of Shadow deep bestiary lists these, but I'm harking back to Tolkien and calling these Wereworms and Hummerhorns. In other parlance Mongolian Deathworm was always a real world cryptid I found amusing.

The haradrim spearmen might make a good handler for the worms...

Cydonian Helots - 3d prints

I printed these quite small (28mm) but they're only tests. I'd like another pass at the sculpts to add in more details and distinguishing features between them.

The concept is slave infantry in the minotaurs army.

Cyclops 2 - 3d Print

The second of my cyclops sculpts, better than the first, few tweaks to make to the pose then it's onto some detail and characterisation. This print is 50mm tall.

I'll be looking to retail these in the new year all going to plan. Platform still tbc.

Frostgrave with Stormcast and Reaper, and Steamforge Games

To mix things up after a long painting hiatus I bashed together some basic minis and then went with quick paintjobs.

The Stormcast line made a good little wizarding warband, no frills. I think I converted a few, specifically the crossbow was scratch built and the hands sculpted on.

The orcs are from Steamforge Games Epic Encounters range, I really wanted to love them but the mould lines are horrible to remove. That said they are solid sculpts and I tried out the army painter speedpaints on them, over a monochrome basecoat (black spray, grey drybrush, white drybrush).

The wolf and the troll are Reaper Bones, painted the same way as the orcs - monochrome basecoat with army painter speedpaints over the top.

Reaper Bones Temple Dragon

The material (Bones) isn't great, and doesn't take paint very well... but it's cheap.

I'll use this for LOTR and Rangers of Shadowdeep.

Reaper Bones Ogres - paint job 2

 I painted another Ogre, there's one more in this set (of 3) than I need to track down...

Reaper Bones paint jobs

 A few more quick and easy paint jobs to warm up, reaper bones monster for use with Rangers of Shadow Deep or even LOTR.

New mythology range - Acheron

 After a few months of beavering away I've achieved a good grasp of 3d sculpting in Zbrush, and 3D printing using the Mars 2 Elegoo pro.

I need to figure out the best place to retail the STL files next, but for now: a preview.

These are 30mm on average, historical style and size (not games workshop size like my sci-fi stuff). All multipart with separate heads, arms and shields.

Thematically these people live on the threshold of the underworld, I'll do a follow up with some of the lore at a later date, along with the terrain I've made for them, some of it also 3d printed.

Low quality iphone pics for now

Wraith Hoplites

Can't recall if I ever posted these...

 

Atheros Strategos

Had this guy for a while, unpainted and unreleased. 

He'll be part of a bundle deal going up at Edinburgh Miniature Company soon.

Frostgrave Witch

 Stereotypical witch, reminds me of Grotbags... for those of us who grew up with 80s UK children's tv.

Space Platform Security

 These are conversions based on the Tox Trooper scouts. There's a paint tutorial for them in the works.

Mantic Ogre Paintjob

Had this set for a while and it's finally made it to the top of the painting queue.

This will go nicely with my Arabian fantasy collection.

Haradrim/Arabian Cultists

These conversions were proof of concepts for my own fantasy Arabian style range. 

They're plastic historical's from Gripping Beast, with a fair amount of sculpting.
