Miniatures pt156 – Halflings
Nasty little hobbitses printed in FDM in 15mm scale. Brite Minis sculpts. They’re more round than my other halflings so they’re closer to hobbits.

Miniatures pt155 – Elves
I’ve painted more of the Brite Minis I had printed in 15mm scale. This time various Elves. A couple wood elf archers, a couple high elf warriors and several adventurer type elves (sorcerer, mage, mercenary, bard).
The wood elf scheme was close to my previous wood elves I had painted from Demonworld. Went with light greens, and red accessories.
For the High elves I went with a white and red scheme (wanted pink but guess I missed the mixing of paints in proper ratio, so I just went with it).
For the adventurers I focused on vermillion and turquoise with some variations.
Printing was okay bar the sorcerers staff head which was corrupted during printing so I turned it into a flame.

Miniatures pt152 – Town Guard
I’ve been tampering with print settings a while now, but I don’t want this post to be another 3d printing guide. I’ll just give settings and information and proceed to the miniatures painting stuff. Perhaps I will make a separate 3d printing post later in the future.
I’ve collected several town-guard style sculpts from the Brite Minis catalogue.
Scaled 60% for 15mm. Supportless models. Printed on a Bambu Labs A1 mini with a 0.2mm nozzle. eSun PLA+HS Filament. 0.06mm layer height. High Quality default presets.
For paint scheme I went with a mix of earth tones (browns for leathers, gambesons, wood) and a Green (Permanent Green Light) and Yellow (Azo Yellow Medium) for the uniforms (capes, overcoats, pants, shirts). I free handed a tower in the shield with a Yellow/Green background.
I spent the extra time for details like moustaches, beards and buckles as needed. Overall I really like the end results, and will be proud to field them alongside my Blighthaven Town Guard.

Terrain pt18 – Sci Fi Outpost
Another of Sablebadger’s terrain sets. This is the Sci Fi Outpost. Once more it is scaled down to 60% for 15mm scale. The buildings are a bit on the smaller side, but they’re bunkers/hubs so it’s to be expected. I did the red painting with an airbrush and red acrylic ink, masking away the parts to be painted different colours. Using ink instead of diluted paint in the airbrush, was a blast as coverage was immensely easier to achieve. Removing the masking tape or white tack was a pain, and perhaps the whole process would take the same amount of time had I used stipple drybrushing (didn’t have my acrylic markers back then), but it wouldn’t look as good. I gave the whole outpost a blood angels look, inspired from the days when I was playing Dawn of War on the PC.

Terrain pt17 – Tech Gothic Ruins
What begun as a simple paint job got more and more detailed as time went by. I really love how these tech gothic ruins from Sablebadger turned out. Again printed at 60% scale, in black PLA. Spray primed dark grey and airbrushed zenithal and various grey ones. Washed with a brown black wash mix, drybrushed tan. I went above and beyong and did some window glass panels using PVA glue undiluted into the window panels. Followed with some spot washes for grime and sealed with a matt spray sealer, which gave a foggy effect to the windows. I am thrilled with how they turned out. I have enough to fill out a 2×2 table in 15mm.

Wait, wait, wait, explain further the PVA “glass”, just simply glue and wait to dry? Noice
As always amazing job, i’m tempted to scale down ^_^ but i must be strong

Terrain pt16 – Sci-Fi Ruins
Grid city sci-fi ruins I had gotten as sampler from Saucermen studios. Printed in black PLA, and painted in grey tones with metallic details and added rust effects.
I mixed and matched to create different builds but I failed to also Mirror the clones, and break the uniformity even more.

Terrain pt15 – Barricades
Something else that I needed for my games, and especially bug hunt is linear terrain in order to create funnels of routes, so in addition to the prior geonosis terrain, I went with the sandbag and modular trench barricades from Sablebadger. Also printed the trench barricade tower, so that I can make an outpost quickly a la starship troopers style. The sandbags were printed in beige PLA and painted in a similar way to the geonosis terrain. The trench barricades were printed in black PLA and painted in gray tones, but because they ended up too monochrome I added rust effects, which ended up contrasting a lot with the monochrome look.

Terrain pt14 – Geonosis
I needed some rocky terrain, and especially for sci-fi look (can also work for desert fantasy) I found the Geonosis style terrain from Sablebadger. I got them from his patreon at the 2nd level which includes access to his back catalogue. Printed at 60% scale, in Beige PLA. Washed in a red-brown wash (Burnt Umber + Yellow Ochre + PVA + Floor Polish) and drybrushed Tan. The idea is if they get knocked around too much and chip, the lighter beige color will show throw and it will be like a highlight. Though with the softness of PLA, floor polish seal, and lack of knocking around (I am a solo player after all) I doubt this extra precaution is necessary.
I have not taken single pictures of every single item, rather, filled a table with them and took pictures. When combined with different terrain I think they will look even better, but there’s enough of them to fill a 2×2 in 60% scale, or 3×3 in full scale.
