The Legend of Vox Machina - Critical Role - Steamforged Games

Hello Everyone!

To celebrate the ending of the first season of the Critical Role animated show "The Legend of Vox Machina" I decided to finally paint the remaining two miniatures from my Vox Machina set I got from their Kickstarter some years ago.

I only had Keyleth and Percy left to do, but those were probably also the most challenging of the lot.
Yesterday I stayed up to 4.30am to get Percy finished and some pictures taken, ready to post for the release of the last 3 episodes of the show, and also happened to be at the time of the live stream, so that was quite fortunate.

Overall it was a lot of fun painting these, even though I would have wished for them to be cast in a better material than this soft board game plastic, as it doesn't hold detail too well. But nevertheless, I'm really happy with the result I was able to achieve.

During my painting sessions, I spent a lot of time scouring the internet of other people's versions to get some inspiration on how others had painted certain parts of the miniatures, but I couldn't find too many good pictures of all angles of the model. So I hope the pictures below might be able to help others out in the future :-)

Keyleth

Percy

Pike Trickfoot

Scnalan Shorthalt

That's it for today, I'd highly recommend checking out "The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime if you like Fantasy and/or DnD

Until next time

Grog Strongjaw - Critical Role - Steamforged Games

Hello everyone

As some might know I'm a big fan of the show Critical Role and have painted other miniatures inspired by their campaign. The show was the sole reason I got into Pen & Paper RPG's in the first place, going from never having played before to now playing in 3 active campaigns across 3 different systems.

Last year (I think) they teamed up with Steamforged Games to produce 2 sets of miniatures covering both of their campaigns on Kickstarter. Naturally, I backed it but sadly didn't get around to paint them when I received my pledge. Having recently started watching their second campaign again from where I left off (only about 50 episodes behind....so about 200 hours :-p), life getting in the way of spending 4-5 hours a week watching the show, I felt it was time to start painting them.

I'm currently in the middle of painting another model, but in between varnish & oils drying I painted the first of the characters from the miniature set covering their first campaign. I managed to paint it 2-3 evenings, so I think I will be able to paint the remaining minis fairly quickly.

Anyway, let me present my second rendition of Grog Strongjaw.

  

  

I hope you like it and hopefully I will have the rest of Vox Machina painted in no time ;) then The Mighty Nine.

Until then

Grulgor Thunderfist - Level 4 Goliath Barbarian - HeroForge

Hello everyone!

After finishing the Knight-Castigator I decided to do a quick, fun little project, which was painting my Dungeons & Dragons character, which I had gotten made by HeroForge a while back :-D

I managed to basically paint it over a weekend and it was a fun experience. I've never painted something made on a 3d printer before, but it was no problem and the details were very impressive! I would recommend HeroForge to anyone looking for a custom miniature for RPG and the like.

Here are a few more pictures :-)

Until next time
