Obviously they still need some work with removing the remainder of the brim that secured them to the print bed and filling and smoothing them too. The crate I mentioned in my last post printed really nicely and I also printed a slightly higher quality version of the treasure chest. So it's been a week since my first attempts at printing anything. It's got a bit more detail than the chest so I'm hoping it comes out well. Next up on the printer (30% printed as I type) is a basic crate (again a source of loot?). I do need to do some more work to have a completely finished model but I need to actually get my hands on some liquid filler before I can even thing about getting it nice and smooth for painting. The first attempt at printing was a failure, but a couple of small changes and the next print came out really well and is what you see above.

Since I only have a basic printer I can only do basic details but for a first attempt at designing anything for 3d printing and first thing I've done in 3d modelling software for about 10 years I'm really happy about how it came out. So I made a basic treasure chest in Blender and printed it out. Being a typical D&D player my first thought was loot, because of course it was. All we have at the moment is drawn maps and our own minis, so some small terrain pieces would really go a long way to making the games look better. I've honestly not felt this fired up about a game for years.Īnyway I recently bought a 3d printer ( this one) to mess around with and my first thought was to start making small pieces of scatter terrain for the dungeons and dragons campaign I'm playing in. Hopefully I'll get the bits I've ordered to build the rest of the squad in the next few days I'm really itching to get stuff done for Rogue Stars.

Go check it out here and if you're working on your own Rogue Stars projects feel free to add to it I really want to see what all the talented painters and writers on Dakka can do for this ruleset. The first two minis for this squad are a pair of mutants.įor more about this squad and these two mutants in particular I've posted a dedicated squad fluff/roster/photo sharing thread over in the misc sci fi games forum (ooh look at my blatant self promotion ). So for the next week or two my focus will be on my first Rogue Stars squad, The Claw of Eternal Night.

Over Christmas I got a copy of the Rogue Stars rulebook and there's no way I'm not putting together a squad for that game. I really need to paint more Gnolls and finish Gorechosen off but I've been distracted by another small project.

However I feel a bit recharged now and I'm ready to start work again. Took a bit a break from painting over the Christmas period, truth be told I kinda burnt out after painting what for me is a large number of minis in a short period of time. Arise arise foul thread and do my bidding upon this mortal plane!!!!!
