This is where I'm at with the initial stages of design for the armour, it needs some fingers and maybe a small piece for the ankle but it should allow for a good amount of movement as is. I'll have to play around and test some posing to see what areas need tweaks and if it gives the effect we want, once that's sorted I can make it prettier and trim edges etc but it's looking very promising!

The very talented Maxime from MadMaxMiniature is painting the Goblin King for his tutorial series this month! He has given me this episode to share that focuses on techniques for painting weathered leather for his sack of treasure.
Here are some of his other links to check out as well. Enjoy!

Ok so we've definitely got a chance to push this one further than most take it.
I've had a look at a bunch of the available designs and my biggest issue with them all is the lack of negative space. If you didn't already know what it was you would just assume it's some armoured dude, which defeats the purpose completely...
So for the main ideas I have right now:
- really play with the negative space and emptiness of the armour
- make it headless, possibly holding ...

The Guard Drake is ready for your tables!
Both 32mm and 54mm versions (including pre-supported) have been added. I really think the low stocky komodo stance was a good choice, it came out great.
New stuff can now be easily found here. Enjoy!

Alright! We've got another mid month collab and this time we are reaching up the ranks almost into the top 10 creators! They have been generous enough to share this Saurian Veteran with us and it even comes pre-supported.
OPR is a miniature wargaming project to create games that are fast to learn, easy to play and hard to master. Our mission is to make wargames super accessible, so the games are available completely for free and can be played with miniatures from any brand.
Sorry for the lack of updates this past week, all that scatter work took more out of me than I thought and getting the creativity flowing again has been a mini battle between me and the tablet. In saying that I've been attempting to make scales and designs with that custom brush in a very LOTP way but it really doesn't suit my workflow and I don't like how repetitive it is so I've gone back to my own style and basically started the detail process again.
I've been looking at a lot ...

After a fair bit of pushing shapes around I've ended up here for the basic proportions. I'm happy with it for now but it will no doubt get some more tweaks along the way and after I have a good look over it with fresh eyes. Even just looking at the pics right now I can see his front legs dont quite have those komodo angles from front on... but it's getting there.
This sculpt has also made me learn some new tricks! I've had to create my own custom scale brush so I can give him the proper...

I'm exited for this one just from the mood board alone! Loving the bulky powerful feel from the left side, even the official art plays around with it. The whole thing reminds me a lot of komodo dragons, definitely worth looking at for some good ref but we will want much larger scales and plating, the skin folds are cool though.
I'll have to play around and see what works with the extra bulk but I really like difference in the structure of the komodo, it's clearly a lizard/dragon with th...

Last piece of scatter has been crossed of the list for now with the monster nest, it does come split as well for anyone with a smaller printer wanting to go with the 54mm option. Also all the animals have now been supported and are ready to go!
If you come across any issues just let me know and we'll get them sorted out.

A whole forest of animals has just joined the collection! These were pretty fun to make and presented their own challenged to pull off well, mainly because we all know what these should actually look like. Lance has been absolutely swamped supporting all the scatter so far (those scale issues have been fixed as well) so the pre-supported versions of the animals are still on their way but I really wanted to get these out to everyone.
I'm going to move onto a monster nest as the final sca...

Monocure have decided to team up again for another print - paint - post comp and they have chosen Auril's Maiden form! It's very open to being creative with both the mini and the base and for the best entry there is a Creality LD-006H 4K Mono printer and a heap of resin to be won.
I'll chuck a few links below for all the info if anyone wants to give it a go, this is open to everyone so feel free to share it around!

After the last batch there were a few requests for some additional items to fill those themes out so I got to work in between doing animals. We've now got some potion racks with full and empty variants, a book stand/lectern, a few stacks of books and some shields.
The majority of the scatter has also been supported with the last few pieces almost done, there was some scaling issues that needed to be fixed which delayed us a bit but everything will have proper 54mm and 32mm options now.<...

I've split off, separated and pulled apart a heap of the previous designs for dropped/loose weapons and sections of armour, there still might be one or two more to dissect but I think these categories will continue to grow and be updated as more stuff gets made. There was a fair bit of prep work involved but it's all available in both scales and should hopefully make for some nice scatter detail or even customising minis with a bit of kit bashing. You can find it all in the folders below.

We have treasure! Having treasure piles was pretty high on the want list so I started playing around with physics simulations to create some.
There are 3 large individual piles available in both scales - coins, gems, coins and gems.
Also with the full size coins being a hit there are now 13 gems of various shapes and cuts to match. They are all around the same size as the coins so you should be able to get a good handful if you print them all! (Pre-supported versions aren't done y...

This big fella has just joined the collection thanks to Barthels Marvels, to continue on with the winter theme he decided on an Ice Golem and this is what I came up with. 32mm, 54mm and a split 54mm version have been added!

First thing off the scatter list is done, we now have full size coins! I've sized them based of actual coin standards which puts them around the 30mm area depending on the shape. They also have custom art on both sides (except the silver coin) based off the official concepts. I've already seen test prints and they came out awesome so have fun!
The Deva bust has also had the wings split off so it actually fits on a standard printer now (sorry about that) and with all the scatter on the w...

The Gnoll is finished and has been sent off for supports so it's time to start the next round.
Like I mentioned in the previous update I wanted to do something a bit different for this round and take a bit of time to fill out the scatter options we already have and add some more semi themed bits.

Another quick Gnoll update before I start polishing the details and work out a pose. To keep with the brutal/scavenged theme his whip got a bone upgrade and he has a few spoils of war adorning his belt.
I'll get a new vote up in the next few days as well, once I start posing. Gonna run with something a bit different for this round and see if we can fill up all that extra dungeon space.
More soon!

Got a bunch of stuff blocked in for the Gnoll over the last few days. I think it's starting to capture that thrown together ragged look I'm after, needs some belts and straps and more detail work but it's definitely heading in the right direction. I'm also leaning more towards a whip as the weapon unless you have other suggestions?
Also finally got back to the Grave Titan! I want to add more damage, snap a finger or two off, maybe do some of those big metal staples/stitches holding a li...

Alright so the Gnoll won by a long way, which is cool because there are a lot of ways to take the design. In a bit of a fluke I've been working on other sculpts along the same "canine" body type so I've just roughed in a hyena-ish head and neck as a good starting point and figured I'd chuck it up as well.
As far as the design itself I love the make-shift armour and bones over the more refined look, it's far more brutal. To separate it a bit more I'm liking the idea of the whip or bow as...
