Mind Flayer Voyage Terrain Review + 3D Render Talk Dungeons and Dragons Miniatures 

Oooohhh... That's why the pictures of the models always look so good. That makes sense.

These days I get miniatures from the clearance section of miniature market. Occasionally I strike gold and get something good and cheap.

I found a whole new level of enjoyment painting minis. I enjoy it at least as much as I do playing and running D&D, plus I even sell models now for cash to buy more minis! It's a great hobby that helps pay for itself.

I wonder if the pool could be improved a bit with a wash. Although a premium priced miniature or terrain piece should not need to be touched up. I definitely agree with your assessment. With your experience crafting with resin I think you would probably be able to get a better result.

Yeah the cost of minis drove me to buy a 3d printer when they were onsale last Christmas. Just finished my second bottle of plant based resin and it's already paid for itself with how much I've printed this summer. And high five to all of us using FolkArt and Craftsmart paint to do minis lmao.

The Nautaloid deck plans that come with the figures is pretty neat. But it's still to expensive. 😢

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I did not know this was a thing. I've seen the grey 3d renders of minis on some eBay auctions for a while now, but this new practice is a bit deceiving! I've said this elsewhere, but did everyone miss the memo that said that 2023 was going to be a chaotic year for gaming? The Hasbro/WotC OGL scandal at the start of the year, followed by the not entirely successful 'creators summit' to try and get 3rd party content creators and players back onside. Plus their recent book price increases, when there's supposed to be an updated D&D coming out next year! 😠😠😠😠 Then Games Workshop seems to be starting to put free Warhammer stuff behind a paywall, plus, is Warhammer 10th edition as good as people hoped it was going to be? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 And now you've pointed this practice from Wizkids! Sheesh! You're right, these companies need to get off our lawn! 😅😅😅😅 Thanks for pointing out good cheap minis as and when you find them. We appreciate all that you do! 😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍

I gotta say, think the "imperfectly painted" Mind Flayer looks considerably better than the "perfectly rendered" version. One looks like an Eldritch Horror and the other looks like an action figure.

Buyer beware I guess That $80 is a bit steep

Good vid. Thanks!!!

Enjoyed

The Nautaloid

you mentioned monster hunter pre painted minis where dose one find them?

Any chance you could show the cardboard with the minis on them. Or how well can you run an encounter on them

The quality of the sculpts and paint jobs of Wizkids minis have declined significantly over the last few years. They must be having trouble finding painters in Chinese prison camps. With the advent of speed painting techniques and paints, I haven’t bought any blind boxes in a long time.
