    Hello Everyone I've sold most of my collection and not really into the Warhammer hobby as such anymore but I have lots of figures and things to peak people's interest hopefully. Hopefully it's okay to have this as a mainly Heroscape blog (Dear kind admin sir/madams please don't delete my blog :D).

    I will let you all know what I'm up to soon.

    Picked up one of these pirate ships for £1.00 at my local charity shop :D such a great purchase. Missing one of the sails and some small parts but like 95% complete. This may or may not be related to the work @Deed525 is doing right now ;). Check out his blog.

    So I stole my sisters phone to take some photos of the work @Deed525 did for me but turns out I didn't get hardly any of them in focus. I'll get more photo's soon it's hard to do justice to just how good they are.

    IMG_7452.JPG IMG_7453.JPG IMG_7454.JPG IMG_7458.JPG

    He's painted me these endless spells and these heroscape health makers to match. they will be soul counters for my custom figure to collect to then cast one two or all three of these ultimate abilities in game. (Rules are a WIP atm). These are so much more beautiful in the flesh (haha flesh for soul weapons ;P).


    Then the only other photo that was in focus enough is this -

    IMG_7459.JPG

    These are squigs or gnaws (kromlech resin models) painted very generously in Deed's own style (thanks again :)) He's done a bile/green blood effect I asked for superbly they look so good. For this and other models they may look slightly shinny because I asked for some gloss because heroscape models are abit shinny and I think painted plastic so they blend better with the original figures.

    More to come soon, when I sort my own camera out.

    Picked up another boat for 50p at my local charity shop - it's an ark more than a pirate ship but will use it to display models. Still need to get some decent pictures for you guys but my camera / camera skills are terrible. It's on the to-do list. DSCN6670.JPG

    Dear everyone reading this - I have two creality ender 3 FDM printers and one Resin photon Printer so if you wanted anything printing let me know - for small fee's to help me out. The FDM are okay for scenery more and the resin I have yet to test but they're apparently good for figureineeoos. Need some sales next month so even if they're small projects PM me and we can try sort something out :).

    So these are mountains for a game called heroscape I play I am trying to sell these but can print other things If anyone want's these are from my FDM printers which means you'll see small lines but the quality on scenery can be pretty impressive for the quality of the printer. It's my only current source of in-come so any sale I can make small or large will help if anyone has anything they wanted printed. I have one resin printer but haven't gotten any resin for it yet so until I can afford that so I can't offer that quality for miniatures yet.

    Larger files like this can take a day to print so cost will reflect on larger projects as I'm an individual.

    3£ Postage Uk and worldwide will have to be covered by buyer

    oh lol nice buys especially the Photon. I just got that recently and I live it. My old printer couldn't do high detail so I couldnt build miniatures but the Photon can do crazy detail lol.

    @DeathBringer125 mines sat in a box waiting for me to afford some resin xD can't wait to try it though. You got any examples of your photon prints to post here (I'm lazy to go looking :p).

    Also my partner is expecting so I'm probably going to wait until after then until I start using it because of the chemicals.

    IMG_20190826_212022.jpg IMG_20190826_212029.jpg steam tank I printed for warhammer. Also when using the Photon there are a couple of things to note. First and foremost wear nitrile gloves and a breathing mask and goggles are recommended. And look up videos on properly curing and handling resin etc. Secondly don't use the USB drive it comes with since it is loaded with tons of Chinese software and people have reported there being some odd stuff so just for safety maybe don't use that. The USB comes with Anycubics slicer but there is an even better one online for free I use called ChituBox. It's amazing and let's you autogenerated supports and hollow models with a click of a button (make sure to find Anycubic Photon in settings and enable that so it will slice it for a Photon). If you have any questions I can answer them just let me know.

You may notice his one arm is missing but that was a very pleasant surprise since his character is a Wood elf ranger who's one arm was lost and became wooden. His char is based on the sylvaneth because he now plays them. And he had actually been planning to cut off the ark that was missing and glue on a sylvaneth arm lol

    Looking for someone to make me a very large base if anyone UK based do me a massive favour or worldwide - Printing a large titan model and my printer size can't even print a base for one of the feet and I'd like more room on the base for scenery etc. I've had 3 failed attempts at printing circular bases for each foot but something kept going wrong. Would prefer a plastic option just out of preference but I know word working some board would work too. as I understand it the height of bases should be about 3.25mm and then If anyone can help I'll get the dimensions I'm after for the project.

    So the talented creator of this model got booted from a conversion forum on FB (40k Conversion and Kitbash Carnage (or something to that effect)), so I posted it and was booted. Posted it on another account booted again. Nothing screams Nazi more than the suppression of others under your own totalitarian dictatorship where adult conversations around historical topics can't be had. The model wasn't even listed as a Hitler model but undoubtedly it was brought up as the issue.

    I'm sorry but if you have an issue with this you're the issue, If you're mature enough to role play a grim 40k game where you literally murder your opponent to win then you're mature enough to enjoy the talent in this model even if you don't agree with the subject matter. John snow was right winter is coming the world if full of snowflakes. 100972978_10108434759126961_3926830930206916608_n.jpg

    Man, that's so ironic. The Nazis would pass as the good guys in the 40k universe....
