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

Spoiler: Hero Forge Mini

Just made an optimized character that focuses on Booming Blade, and this is the mini.

Might not be news for many, but I just saw Hero Forge 2.0 (for color minis!) is now up for the general public. Here is a quick sample and just thought I'd share.

Thank you for linking to this. While I'm on the fence about buying their miniatures (much less the color ones) considering that I haven't played offline in years, this it a fun tool set to play around with. I may end up buying some STLs to import into TTS (if I don't end up ditching TTS for Astral). I also may breakdown and buy ones for some of my favorite cPCs/NPCs that I've played over the years. I'll probably buy the non-color versions consideringthat I paint miniatures anyway.

So, again, thank you.

I’m also using them as painting guides for their unpainted figures. You can try different colour combinations and decide what you like before you start painting.

This. So much. That's a great aspect of this, too.

You are most welcome. Here is my build for my next likely PC for Frostmaiden:

I think the blue is SO SMURFY!

Smurf firbolg ice druid, or something like that, I presume?

LOL for the most part. He comes from a village of bluish firbolgs who live in giant mushrooms but an enormous evil cloud giant wizard captured them all to turn them into gold!

My PC, Amarath, was visiting some dwarven friends at the time. He hopes to discover the location of the cloud giant wizard and stumbles into the frostmaiden adventure.

The blue "spell-effect" was my attempt at Frostbite.

I do wish that there were more spell effects, but I can just make do with the current options. There are so many weapons and other handheld items it just makes me wish that casters could shape their spells a bit more.

Blue is cool!

There's definitely some limitations that you have to work within, but it's far more difficult to find a decent prefab mini to represent your character.

I've been playing around with this and recreating some of my past PCs and NPCs to the best of my ability:

Spoiler: Cammy (Camilla Ren l’Orpheline ), my Cat Hengeyoukai Thief-Acrobat PC from 1e/2e:

The cat in the back represents her animal form:

In 5e, I suppose she'd be a Rogue (Thief) with the Urchin background. I'd have to design the hengeyoukai race for 5e, though.

Spoiler: Kalanaar, my very emo (with good reason) Elf Mage PC from 2e:

In 5e, I'd make him a High Elf Wizard (Abjurer) with the Sage background).

Spoiler: Kaiden Novorost, my first 5e PC, is a Fire Genasai Eldritch Knight Fighter with the Noble background:
