D&D General Hero Forge in Color Is Open For Busniess!

[Al'Kelhar]

Look into getting a copy of the boardgame "Mythic Battles: Pantheon". Tons of nice Greek Legends content.

You might also want to check out the Greek Odyssey expansion in the Reaper Bones 5 kickstarter (pledges close at the end of the year, I believe).

Cheers, Al'kelhar

Ok, so I switch from Firbolg to Goliath and Druid to Cleric. Here's the mini... I am thinking about ordering it but I want to mess with the colors a bit more:

These look pretty good when printed, but a few things you should look out for when doing so. First is the that print resolution is a bit lower than their normal, so try to avoid fine detail bits. Second is that the colors are washed out -- no where near as vibrant as the creator. It's still good, just not as poppy, so if you choose colors that are similar to each other or a scheme with lots of bright colors you're going to lose a bit of that in the print. I'd definitely say that a custom min at the quality and color that comes is worth the $45.

Maybe they have green skin under brown fur?

But hobgoblins are red-brown aen't they?

Goblins are yellow in D&D 5e.

Goblins are yellow in D&D 5e.

In hindsight not a great decision.

Yeah, it's a steep pricetag for a single miniature!

I found some of the old articles from the 5e playtest dev blogs on the wayback machine, and it was pretty astounding to me seeing the old goblin concept art again, and the extreme negative reaction the community had to that first design. It was quite good in my opinion, but folks thought it looked too orc-like, so back to the drawing board they went.

I would add to this, the mini design game is fun. But as part of the Kickstarter, the token design is just as important as making and getting your mini in the mail.
I have about a forty or fifty tokens made. Basically, I am going through each race, and then designing specific classes. Then taking those classes and exchanging weapons. I am not very far in, but it is fun. (And I probably need to be more systematic about it. )

A game. Use this: D&D 5e Character Generator and then design a mini for it.

I'm in the process of going through my favorite PCs & NPCs, it's been a blast so far.
