hero forge figures (Painted 3/20/17)

[Dentatus]

I suspect I'm the one responsible for making that shoulder/arm look awkward. The picture angle is bad, and when I was customizing the fig, I changed the shoulder pads from the default ones. That most likely made the error more pronounced.

Best thing to do is go play around on the HF site and see for yourself. The process is far from perfected but I think it's going to factor into the hobby's future in a big way.

The problem is anatomy - or therefore a lack of understanding of it. Measure the arm of the minis in comparison with their torso and you'll come with an ape-like posturing. Awful!

Totally their fault. They sculp the minis after all, don't them? 

The pose and the shoulder pad are throwing you off. The torso is angled slightly down and the new shoulder pad is obscuring the shoulder itself so you can't see the true point of attachment.

Anatomy on all the HeroForge stuff shown here is decent. Not top of the line but decent. On par with or better than a great deal of the stuff on the market right now. Printing does let the stuff down a bit.

Agree on everything, BUT leave the HF monogram for hasslefree!

No. Their anatomy sucks.

No. Their anatomy sucks.  

Well, yeah, anatomy on any wargame figure is pretty awful.
These look just as good as anything Foundry puts out, and people are goofy for those for some reason.

[eMills]

No. Their anatomy sucks.  

So, if you repeat it enough times, it must be true, I guess?

But then again, these weren't sculpted in the 80's or by someone stuck there, so you were never gonna like them anyway.

Typical response from someone in an indefensible position. Can't seem to tell me why the suck. Just that they suck.

Ok. No surprise really.

Saw some heroforge miniatures at last nights DnD session and was impressed by the quality of the printing. Really nice, hadn't expected that - think they costed 30 dollars but for roleplaying you only need your own character. Think they ordered from heroforge but the miniatures were shipped from the Netherlands. The poses looked good but that's up to you how you design your miniature using their software. Conclusion, I was impressed by the look and quality of them and they were sturdy too. But won't use them as there are already enough dwarf figher miniatures around.

I have started my painting, and I know that some of you hated theses figures but I am very happy with them so far. Clean up was quick with very little to do (except for the broken arm) but even that fixed easily. Once I pick my color pallet (think Brunswickers in space) the paint seemed to go very well, filling in some of the more dramatic print lines and those that did not, worked out nicely giving some texture to the clothing and armor that did not seem out of place. So far so good, picture will be up soon.

Please post the photots of your painted minis. I'd love to see them.

[Dentatus]

Sounds good, Bandit86. Looking forward to seeing them painted up.

I think they came out nice and will most likely get some more.  I would recommend these to someone who would like a one off Character for a Dungeon crawl adventure type game, not for an army group.

Well done.
Indeed they came up nicely.

Good paintjob! The printing lines are still remotely visible and the sharpness of details is quite approximative, but i can see why someone is willing to pay 30$, if this allows to have your own super-customized piece.
