  Miniatures pt166 – Hydra 

  I wanted a Hydra for so long. However the pewter choices were few and far between, and quite expensive, especially considering post-Brexit times. The FDM friendly options for models were also limited, and I just hadn’t gotten to pulling the trigger on them. Then Brite Minis came along, and released one (I’m subscribed to their patreon), so I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity. When my printer freed up, I immediately went to printing and painting it. It’s been a while, but I hadn’t gotten around to posting about it. So, here’s one of the rare monster options for 15mm:

  Miniatures pt162 – Dragons 

  I printed and painted 4 different dragons from Brite Minis, in 4 different colours, so it’s a Green Dragon, a Blue Dragon, a Brown Drake and a Red Chubby Dragon. I wasn’t very happy with how the Army Painter washes behaved. The Green Dragon was acceptable, but the Blue Dragon was almost ruined and I had to go over it and drybrush to cover the wash, so I went back to my DIY days, did some research, and created a nice Sepia wash, using a homemade recipe of acrylic inks, water, PVA, floor polish and some varnish. I used it on the Brown Drake and the Red Chubby dragon, and I love the results.

  Miniatures pt161 – Beastmen 

  A set of 3 Beastmen, by my favourite 3d supportless miniature artist Brite Minis.

  Simple but effective designs, easy to paint. I used earth tones.

  Scaled 60% for 15mm. Supportless models from Brite Minis. Printed on a Bambu Labs A1 mini with a 0.2mm nozzle. eSun PLA+HS Filament. 0.06mm layer height. High Quality default presets.

  Miniatures pt159 – Goblin Tribe 

  Here’s a Goblin Tribe from Fat Dragon Games’ Crypt Classics range. At 60% they fit nicely with my existing Demonworld Goblins. I did a different colour scheme (clothes, skin colour) both to experiment, and also to depict the different goblinoid tribes. This follows the same pattern I did with orcs until now.

  They are lovely sculpts, reminding me of old school miniatures. I gave them some night-goblin inspired styles when they had hoods on.

  As usual, for 3d printing they are scaled 60% for 15mm. Supportless models from Fat Dragon Games. Printed on a Bambu Labs A1 mini with a 0.2mm nozzle. eSun PLA+HS Filament. 0.06mm layer height. High Quality default presets.

  Miniatures pt158 – Pig Faced Orcs 

  Always loved the pig faced orcs concept, but getting these in 15mm was always a problem. Now with 3d printing it’s been solved. Here’s a group of 6 including a pig-helmet pig faced orc, a shaman, archer, spearman, swordsman and maceman. If I had to choose the highlight of the group is my freehand job on the shield markings. Love how they turned out.

  Scaled 60% for 15mm. Supportless models from Brite Minis. Printed on a Bambu Labs A1 mini with a 0.2mm nozzle. eSun PLA+HS Filament. 0.06mm layer height. High Quality default presets.

    A shame the pig faced orc concept hasn’t gone much longer. If you ever manage to get someone to print them for you, Warp Miniatures has some very niced pig faced orcs too.

      Yeah, the pig faced orcs are cool and different. Just looked at the warp minis, nice sculpts!

  Miniatures pt157 – More Orcs 

  One can never have enough orcs. These are a collection of Brite Minis sculpts, printed in FDM, at 60% for 15mm scale. I went with a darker green skin colour for greater variety to my existing orcs.

  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.

  Continuing with a selection from Brite Minis, here are a few peasants, villagers and townsfolk ready to defend their land.
