PJB's Scenery and Tabletop Terrain WIP

heyhey guys. small update.

Im taking classes/ making Online Tutorials for modeling 3d printable Minis. The course is about making a skeleton warrior. I learned allot. And want to share some of my progress. Im planning to do 32mm skeletons. Here are some pics:



Tell me, what do u think? Any ideas?

They do look rather merry & quite realistic.

thx Nala.

Here is some more WIP stuff. like Hellbards based on historical depictions (ca. 1500), Swords in 2-handed, long and short, and the start of an Helmlet.





For the Base meshes, like the Hellbards by now. im using Blender, polymodelling. And then dooing details in Zbrush.

Hi PJB it's been a while so your excursion into 3D printing is news to me. I like what I see so far and the improvement from your orc to the skeletons is both noticeable and impressive.,

Thanks Codsticker, yeah the Orc was somehow the start, i tired to lean and improve a bit. I'm glad that u notice some progress. I got allot of help with the Skeletons, as they are based on tutorials, that i was buying. But by now im gooing my own way, in posing them and dooing the equipment.

And here is the next one. With a two-handedsword, im not sure if the sword is too long... He is holding it in a quite high position... What do u think guys?

I did the 1st Testprint:



They aren't fragile as i thought. BUT they are quite "slim"... im not sure, where do i go from now....

Your buildings are very fun and whimsical, I love them! The Skeletons are very well done as well!

They are very slim. Although I really like them like that (they are skeleton's after all) I can how they might be a bit fragile for wargaming.

The skeletons printed up in fine fashion. I am glad they are less fragile they would appear to be. Have FUN with the painting.

Firstly, those skellies look damn good! They're excellent work, especially for someone still learning digital sculpting.

I'd agree with Codsticker that they look delicate for wargaming though, especially with bits like that long thin sword sticking up... Have you had any problems with that?

@Wyrdmake and @ DeafNala thanks allot!



@Codsticker and @ Rhydderch

Yep... that's the question by now... Are they to fragile... I do think so. By now im trying to make them thicker... but after all, 3D Printed minitures are not stable as GW plastic minis and as long as the skeleton is thinner as a "normal" human-mini, the skeleton will be more fragile... It's quite a complicated thing I moved into. If i make them to thick, they might get super-stable... but the idea of a skeleton is beeing slim... so i try to find a balance...

Hey, guys I made a test for a thicker Skeleton. I thnik its gooing in the right direction. He is way more stable, especially the spine and the limbs.

LOOKIN; GOOD! He does look sturdy AND the positioning with the two swords suggests that he will spring into action if approached.

Thanks allot DeafNala. He is actually not posed by now Just a thickness test. Theres is still alot do fix after thcikening him up

Hey guys,

i was reworking my skeleton... making it thicker and more stable. I just finished posing a Shield&Sword Skelleton. Hope to print it by tomorrow.

Here is a pic of 3 angles of the "new and thicker" skeleton. In digital it looks pretty thick, but printed in 32mm scale it should be fine, i guess.

That does look sturdy without looking too thick. Good luck with the print.

thx, Nala! I will post the printed result!

And there he is:




And i also made an Golem for Frostgrave. (Granite Golem for "Hunt for the Golem" Campaign)

COOL STUFF! The skeleton is OUTSTANDING & ILOVE the Golem. WELL DONE!

Some painted skellies!

The Deadites painted up SPLENIDLY!

Hey Guys, long time no post... I was making more Skellies. Actually in our Tabletop-Club is a Mortheim Campaign starting!!! Woooohooo! So i started to use my Skellies to make a "Restless Dead" warband (Most Skeletons in this Warband).

So i printed some of them to play my first Campaign Match on Sunday!!!

The Heros:






Left to Right: Graveguard with Wightblade 1,  Graveguard with Wightblade 2, Liche (Leader), Graveguard with Wightblade 3,    and the Necromancer



The Henchmen:



Skeletons and Wights wit Spear and 2-Handed-Weapon, the Ghost in the Middle is my "interpretation" of the Scarecrow.

COOL! Congratulations on starting a Mordheim campaign. The skeletons will be a FINE LOOKING war band...I love the flaming swords; VERY unworldly.

Thx! Yes i thought "Wightblade"-Ability should be somehow shown. Also to make the "Heros" looking different from the Henchmen.
