I placed an order to Hero Forge on June 3rd it arrived today June 8th

I acctually had a problem with the speed. The website said two weeks to process, so I ordered, went on holiday and figured she would turn up when I got back. Instead, they sent the package after like two days, and I barely had time to pick her up from UPS (Sweden doesn't usually do home delivieries on small packages, we pick them up from a service point). One day later and it would have been sent back

Also finished this Gorgon today. It's a GW Melusai I think they're called.

That's pretty darn smooth!

I'm using a few of those too.

And the latest addition, two Dust Devils. These are medium Air Elementals from WizKids, so cheap plastics and I couldn't quite get the mold lines out. Still, cheap and servicable for a monster type that is otherwise a bit tricky to find models for.

those are good models, and you've done a lovely job with them.
and personally I wouldn't worry about the mold lines - such things are hardly ever going to be noticeable at playing distance?

Figure as much. Durable plastic creations are really preferable to excuisitely detailed figures when monsters are being handled by all players in a large game.

Detail looks great to me, tbh - I'd be very happy with them from every point of view.
It's just that I see a lot of talk about (and apologising for) mold-lines, and I've never really got it.

I don't think the odd mould-line on a well-painted 28/30mm figure detracts much when all's said and done.

If you need more dusties and want different figs for them, try contacting Scott "Four Color Figs" Pyle. He had some air elementals done in a rather similar style for his Goalsystem Delves kickstarter and might still have some to sell. I added a little glue-and-sand mix to mine and produced something like yours for an ebay customer a while back.

Thanks, but I think two will be plenty. They are just for random encounters.

New crew! I've been reading a lot of african inspired fantasy lately, like Kai Ashante Williams, Nnedi Okarafor and of course some Black Panther, and this crew is inspired by those works. Five crewmen, two archers and two Savages led by a mysterious Warden. The Heritor is a model I made last year, hence the separate photo.

Bloggard · « **Reply #58 on:** October 31, 2018, 12:24:56 PM »

they look like they mean business.
Heritor's a great fig.

nice paint-jobs, and like your basing - I'll be going back that way I think.

Ogrob · « **Reply #59 on:** October 31, 2018, 12:27:29 PM »

Thanks mate. I'm going more and more to same basing style for everyone, with just a little variety in which tufts go down. That way any models can be used next to any others in the collection.
