3D printed Fantasy miniatures

[MaaX]

Fantasy miniatures from "Miniatures Forge - Kuźnia Fantastyki" (and some GW vampires) which I painted for my friend for the Silver Bayonet game. They are all 3D prints (except for the GW ones). Fun to paint but the level of detail was not that great in my opinion. Hope you like them.

I particularly like the winged demon with the sword.

Thank you!

These look more on the chunkier side of 3D printing. There's some amazing stuff out there with higher detail if you're looking for it. Titan Forge, Artisans Guild, Rocket pig Ghamak and especially Beastarium knock it out of the part on detail.

Your pink hot pants, ghostly green and yellow skin are all great. Would you mind sharing the recipes?

Thank you!
Pink hot pants - Emperor's Children(GW) with Flugrim's pink(GW) shaded with red wash
Ghostly green - Hexwraith Flame(GW) over white basecoat  and after that white drybrush
Yellow skin - I believe it was dead flesh from Vallejo shaded with strong or soft tone from AP
Hope it helps

Painted one more of those:

Great painting work! It looks as from a comic book.

Thank you! 

[Little Odo]

That is a lovely figure, made to look fantastic by an impressive paint job. Great work!

[MaaX]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it 

[Grumpy Gnome]

Looking good!

Thanks!

Turned out great. Normally printlines would detract from a figure, but in this case they break up the shading wash on the cloak a bit and smooth out the transitions. It's quite an interesting effect, and one which caught my eye considering I sometimes deliberately use a hatching paint style on larger surfaces.

I think they're fine and paint jobs are great. These are close shots, so they look a bit chunky like this. It's perfectly normal. One thing you need to consider with resin (?) prints is that most resins are not that durable, in fact some of them are downright fragile. I am finding that the hard way right now. I have thsi wonderful wight/not-nazgul that I am trying to print, and the sword is just so delicate, it won't even survive a clean up and a cure cycle....So even if there are wonderful 3D designs out there, many of them won't survive the game table in one piece. A more robust design ensures that they can endure game play, which I assume is the purpose in most cases?

And it's not like certain major manufacturer's aren't chunky in the same manner.... Reaper Bones stuff is/was like that (not sure if they've switched to a different composite by now), GW:s entirely product line is not anatomically or otherwise ideally proportioned, the plastics are extremely chunky, etc.

Yeah I actually noticed this lines when I was painting, didn't think to check for those lines beforehand. Quite happy with the final look.

Good point. I'm used to metals or resin casts for fantasy stuff and slightly different ascetics more on the cartoonish so to speak.
