Artificer WIP

Hi all!  I've been working on the artificer and have done a few Vedalken heads to mix up the race selection a little.  I'll be adding all of the other races so far into it too but have only got the one on the render at the moment.  You'll be able to use all of the Kingsguard heads on this body too, but I'll add goggles to them so they can be a bit more thematic if you wish.

Here's the current WIP shot of the first of the male artificers, the low level one.   I'l...

Kingsguard Riflemen/Crossbowmen/Pistoliers

Hi all!  third post of the night and the last one before I go to bed (1:30am as I write this!)

I've got all of the Kingsguard riflemen out, also modified them to also be firing their sidearm Pistol/mini-rifle, and by popular demand I've also done a version with all of the guns removed and replaced with a Crossbow and Quiver.  

Here are the preset minis that I've loaded into the folder.  you'll find them in folder number 87 under the sub folder "Missile Support".&nbs...

Crossbows as an alt weapon for the Riflemen

Guys, due to requests for non-black powder versions of the riflemen, I've swapped the guns out for a quiver and crossbow.  Hope that ticks the boxes for those of you that don't use guns in your games.

One sample pictured below!  I'll get the crossbows added to all poses and get them exported tomorrow before starting work on the artificers.

First of the riflemen are going up today

Hi all,  the first of the riflemen are going up into the folder today giving the Kingsguard some ranged support.

Here are the first couple of poses (thanks again to Ty Mansfield for the posing!).  They are available with the long rifles and also with their sidearm.  There are 4 more poses to finish off so hopefully these guys keep you busy until then.  The weapons are currently not removable on these guys due to the poses, but the heads are modular with the rest of t...

Female Kingsguard!

Hi all!  I've been finishing off the female Kingsguard minis today.  I've just got to export all the STLs for inclusion in the folder, but I'll be including all of the bodys without heads or weapons, all of the presets (the minis you see in the pictures) and also the presets but without heads so you can customise them as you wish.

Theres also an injury included in this batch too - dont worry, I'll beat up one of the male knights too so you have a couple of them to use in your ...

Added new files to the Kingsguard folder

Hi all!  I've been busy making heads, working on the alternative bodies and getting some more poses sorted.  I've put some more of the modular bodies into the folder now including the first of the female ones.

I've also uploaded all of the hands and weapons and a bunch of heads.  I'll keep working my way through the poses and get them put in the file as I go.  I'll compile a big group render of them all late next week so you can see whats there for you.

New Kingsguard Knights on foot

Hi all!  sorry I've been a bit quiet this month.  I've been working on a lot of things and also juggling that with Jacob going back to school for the first time.  It's a lot for a 4 year old to deal with so I've had to invest a lot more Daddy time than usual.  

I've had the help of Ty Mansfield to help me deal with posing these guys up which means I can offer you much more variety.

We've trialled the first bunch and they've worked out great so I'm about to star...

Kingsguard Mages Preview (plus some bonuses!)

Hi all,  A little preview of next months models for you.  I've got a male and female version of a War mage.  Each of them is available without the spell effects and each comes with 5 head options!  Human, Elf, Tiefling, Orc and Shifter.

Pictures of the various builds below for you.  I've been re-watching Avatar with the little one so there may be a little influence from there creeping in!

Kain the Dragoon has landed!

My version of Kain the Dragoon from Final Fantasy 4 is ready and available in the monthly downloads folder now.   

Those of you familiar with Kain and FF Dragoons will know they are famous for their jump attacks.  Many of the jump poses I tried out were going to be far too fragile, so I instead settled on the final part of the attack, the landing!  He has the upwards motion ...

The Summoner!

Hi all!  so with a bit of quick and very motivated sculpting, I've got the summoner finished and I'm very happy that I've captured the essence of the original.  

What do you think?  Files will be up shortly

May Miniatures - The Dark Knight's Redemption

Happy 1st May everyone!  I know its a weird time for us all at the moment but this months theme has filled me with a mass of nostalgia and in this historical oddity that we're living in at the moment its been a welcome relief.  

My first experience of the Final Fantasy series was a US import of Final Fantasy 2 (FF4 everywhere else) on the SNES in the early 90s.  I immediately lov...

Goblin Assassin files are live!

Hi all!  the Goblin assassin is finished with options for a hand crossbow or dual daggers.  All of the weapons and heads are in the component library now so if you want any of them to customise your other models you'll find them there now too.  

I've also added a pair of empty hands in case you want to put your own weapons on him.

The big scenic base is optional so you can just have him on a normal flat base if you prefer.

You'll find the files in the monthly ...

New addition - Drow/Tiefling Bard (College of Blades)

hi all!  slower progress than I'd hoped this month because of the isolation with the kids but I've got the 5th of this months miniatures for you.  Trying a slightly different format for this one following feedback so please let me know what you think.

The 3 renders below show most of the options (the head with horns is also available without them.  Some of you may recognise the inspiration behind this one, and for those of you that don't, you should really give the Netfli...

First Antihero models for April are now up!

This month I have been working on some AntiHeroes - "Evil" alignment heroes that will add some spice to your campaigns and can even fill the role of antagonist as well as Player Characters.  I had hoped to have the whole set ready for you all at the start of the month but working from home with the kids and wife around with the quarantine situation going on has been near impossible so I'm running a little behind.  I'm hoping to be a bit further advanced ready for May though.  2020-04-06 11:25:55 +0000 UTC View Post

Preview of the first few Evil Heroes for April...

Hi all!  So with lockdown in force getting stuff done is tricky with the family about but I've been working on the first few evil heroes.  Just currently sculpting number 3.  

The first is a Gnomish Necromancer "Gale" with his cat familiar (Sculpted in the likeness of 'Overlord Gale Prime' from Chilling Wargamers!).    He is accompanied by his Skeletal warrior bodyguard who comes with 3 head variants and 3 weapon options (a selection pictured)

New sculpts for the Viking Raiders!

Hi all,

So with the virus having its impact and having 2 young kids, my working  has been slowed a little this month which is not really what I was hoping for so early on in my full time sculpting career!  

Anyway, I've got a few extra figures going into the folder for March today - 2 new viking Bondi armed with spears and a Demihuman Norse Elf! There are 2 base versions for the elf depending whether you prefer crude viking runes or mystical astrological charts

This months minis! Viking Raiders

OK, so it looks like you're getting 5 Vikings to start this month's offering, and there are another 4 coming shortly with a handful more planned in the coming weeks.  Initially there is a Shield Maiden and 4 Viking Bondi (peasant warriors) 

It makes sense for this month to focus on the Vikings and their Wolfen opponents and the cursed infected that cross both camps!  I'll be addi...

Pagan Miniatures Kickstarter and Patreon Freebie!

Hi all!  As you'll probably be aware, I've sculpted a range of Vikings and Werewolves in the past for a game which shall not be named (there's a long story behind that!).  Anyway, the long and short of it is that I own all of the sculpts I did and have sold them on to a new startup company called Pagan minatures.  The first bunch of models you'll all be getting next month are a selection of the bondi (viking warriors) from the Pagan Miniatures Kickstarter.  We've also agre...

Lion Tower Community Group on Facebook

Hi all!  

I just wanted to remind you all that there is a growing Lion tower community group over on Facebook at  https://www.facebook.com/groups/198887967277124/members/

February's full contents - the Oakesgate City Watch

Hi all!  here are all of the miniatures you get this month.  I'll be doubling the size of the City watch in the near future.  I've also been asked to make a small tweak and also provide versions with a plain breastplate so I'll be working on that before the end of the month too.

You'll get all of these figures and the contents of both the starter pack and component Library for your $10 subscription.

All models will be provided pre-supported in addtion to the usual u...

Commander Grimes and Forensic Detective Blueberry

Hi all!

These will be the last 2 City Watch models for this month but I will add the other personas at a later date as I need to get cracking with the Anti-Heroes for March.  

I introduce you to Watch Commander Grimes, and Female Dwarf Forensic Detective Blueberry!  i'll be prepping the files so they'll be uploaded later today.  I'll also get them on the printer today and upload the supported files in the next day or so once they're printed successfully.  

City Watch - renders and A special Model!

Hi all!  here's the first 4 City Guard for you! 

 I've put the supported ones that I've successfully test printed on my Elegoo Mars.  They were done at 0.25 micron layer thickness, with an exposure time of 5.5 seconds using the Elegoo clay grey water washable resin.  10 base layers at 60 seconds each.  give them a go and let me know how you get on with t...

Rokobo Knight files are now live in the January Downloads folder

You can get in and download all of the new Rokobo Knights now!  I'd love to see some of your work with these so please head over to the Lion Tower Miniatures Community Group on facebook and post your progress up!

Rokobo Knights - final files, mounted champion and new heads!

Hi guys!  these knights are becoming the bane of my life!  the file size is so big that zbrush is constantly crashing and I'm having to reload repeatedly and keep redoing bits of work.  That said, they're just about done now.  I'm preparing the files for export and you've got a LOT of options going on!

So firstly I've added a few more female heads to the pack so you have more options.  I've added additional sword and spear arms so there's variety there too. &nbs...

Heads for the Kingsguard (and Component Library)

So I'm separating and preparing the rokobo riders and zbrush keeps crashing on me.  Its getting a bit frustrating so I've taken a side project for an hour and made a few extra heads to go in the component library and to be extra heads for the Kingsguard.    Recognise anyone? :-)

Would you like files with supports already on?

Hi all,

just throwing something out there - I'll be printing these figures myself and have found that the best way for me to get good results on my Mars is to use the Prusa Slicer to generate the supports and then export the supported file ready to fill the plate in Chitubox.

Here's a link for the supported Drizzle file for you to try out.

Live chat on Thursday at 8pm GMT

Hi all!  I'll be on Chilling Wargamers on Thursday night at 8pm talking to the awesome Spud and Elston about all sorts of things to do with the Patreon journey, 3D printing, my new career etc.  Love these guys and its always good to get in and have a chat with them.  genuinely lovely blokes with a mad passion for their hobby.  I'll have my whiskey on hand and be trying my best not to swear (its a family show!)!! ;-)

I'll also be attending their wargame convention Chi...

Rokabo Riders inbound!

Hi all!  Still working on splitting them down, but so far I've done 3 variants of the Rokabo Rider.  They should be finished this week and uploaded ready for you to print.  Heads are all interchangeable.  Pictured are an alternative male head, a female head and a helmed head option.

Captain, standard and musician to follow!

Following some feedback about the guys on foot, I'll be splitting them down too and providing the bases as separate components too.

Kingsguard Commander - new sculpt added!

Hi all!  a new sculpt for the Kingsguard.   Whilst I'm working on getting the troops posed and making sure we have a good bit of variety in the sculpts, I've also finished working on the Kingsguard Commander.  

This is a bit of a special one for me as its been one of my personal characters, and is also sculpted in my own likeness!  my very own 32mm self portrait

Anyway, here's the render of him - you'll find the files in the monthly downloads right now! 2020-01-19 23:04:45 +0000 UTC View Post
