Those are amateur numbers you need to bump those up. I do dozens of HF characters a MONTH. Never bought a damn one. Probably will eventually buy 1 or 2. If they knocked a few bucks off (or I had a 3D printer and could buy the stls) I’d have purchased a few by now.

Love Heroforge. As a treat, I got one for each of my players. I love them. I’m an eternal DM, but I’m thinking of saving up for a stable of heroes I can use in case any of my players fancy running a game... at least they’ll look cool painted up and lined up on my desk, I suppose...

@Ravens_Craft_Cosplay 4 года назад

From my experience i 3d print my own heroforge minis making it much more cost effective we have about 15 and i make multiple so i can paint them differently for an npc in a later campaign. They like to see thier old characters make appearences with different paint jobs lol. Also no shipping time. I also print out my monsters my players enjoy that alot. Though i feel im in the same boat my guys are not experienced enough to run games yet.

Ah, the plight of the DM whose players never want to try running a game. A tragedy for sure.

How cool is it that you get sponsored by Hero Forge, so you get a product to show off, that you also get to make a relevant/cool video about, and potentially use in the future! Like, what an awesome collaboration.

@WASD20 4 года назад

Thanks, yeah. It's a really nice partnership. Great company.

@OneTrueNobody 3 года назад

3:52 - One of the most useful things in Hero Forge's current iteration is that you can color your model in the webapp now. This not only provides colors for the colored plastic model (which is a bit washed-out-looking), it also lets you just decide what colors you're going for and see how it would look before you paint. You can even change the angle of the eyes to see what it would look like if you dab the eye color to look in a certain direction. Being able to plan that stuff out before actually PAINTING the model is really handy.

Applying the paint with a splintered toothpick can help reach those small recessed details like eyes.

@WASD20 4 года назад

I’ve heard that. I i’ve tried it with a normal toothpick, but not a splintered one. I also thought maybe I could just sharpen one to a finer point with utility or X-Acto knife.

I've just finished painting my husband's first set of NPCs for our campaign. He still needs to order the second half. I learned a lot doing this. I actually got a top coat meant for models, but it ate off the Vallejo paints and my acrylic paints, so I had to use some of my glossy fine art varnish.

Awesome job - looks great!! Did you use the same brush for each color? Or do you have multiple brushes that you use? Oh! And what do you use the stick the mini to the holder? (and why the coins inside it?)

Same brush, yes. I use blue tac poster putty to stick it to the pill bottle. Coins give it a bit of extra weight so I don't knock them over so easily on my table. :)

@clone_69 2 года назад

How big are the figures from Hero Forge? I bought one through a proxy to avoid international shipping (they bought the STL file, printed it and shipped it locally), but the figure was kinda small, compared to standard size D&D minis from Wizkids. It also made it harder to paint, since the details were even smaller. I want to know if this was how the minis are supposed to be or if the proxy scaled it down to keep costs low.

@charli3k4052 Год назад

Do you use anything to seal the paint on the figures or is that generally unnecessary?

@WASD20 Год назад

I do. I have a matte varnish.

@stevevondoom4140 4 года назад

are there any glue's you do/don't recommend for basing??

@WASD20 4 года назад

I recommend super glue for attaching your mini to a base. The fast-drying non-gel kind works really well, and my local hobby shop had some good advice on selecting one. For gluing actual pebbles and rocks and such, I just use PVA glue (Elmer's).

@cattrucker8257 4 года назад

Most spiffied-up drogue ever. Though I do really like how it came out not looking overblinged, but actually like a believable getup. I'd say you went just a little bit far with the blue highlights if you wanted a black-blue look, it just ended up looking mostly blue only. But that's not terrible - you can cover it up if you play with the mini by having the cloak get an enchant of some sort later on and have it be magic or something. How long did it take, start to finish?

@WASD20 4 года назад

Took about 2 to 3 hours if you include lots of repainting of things I didn't like. I included some of that, but not all. I definitely was going for a brighter than average drow rogue here. It would make more sense to have a lot of black leather and a black cloak, but I don't enjoy painting or looking at that nearly as much as brighter colors. :)

@cattrucker8257 4 года назад

@@WASD20 That's actually pretty quick, for a fairly detailed model like that. Good going. And, yeah, 'course, ninja wrap rogues are boring. Mostly mentioned the black-blue cloak because you cited it in the video itself. The end result still looks good - for action-worn armour and gear, it makes sense to be not too blingy, but to have some colour to set it apart and make it pleasant to look at - it is, after all, your mini.

@johnav8rflys 3 года назад

I had a friend that got a Hero Forge a few years ago, and his had like “layer Line” running through the hole model, like you could see each layer that was printed. That was hard to see how to fix it wasn’t like just cleaning a few mold line. Anyhow the question is have they got better where they don’t have those lines all the way through the model?

@WASD20 3 года назад

3-D printed miniatures will usually have some layer lines, but I would assume they’ve gotten way better in recent years. You can see mine here there are no layer lines unless I am looking very very closely.

@patrickbenjamin9056 4 года назад

Good video overall. Nice work on the cloak. However, I disagree with using crafts paints. Due to their inconsistent thickness they are best used for terrain only. Also, you failed to mentioned the sealing of the miniature. I recommend a gloss finish followed by a extremely light coat of Testors Dullcote to remove the shine.

@WASD20 4 года назад

Truth. Sealing is a very good idea. I have had pretty good luck with most craft paints and have seen EXCELLENT paint jobs with them. I agree that spending a bit more will yield better results, but also believe newcomers shouldn't feel like they NEED more expensive paint to get good results.
