It's not really terrain, but I've been desperately searching for a 3d gibberling mini (the official ones are pretty hard to find). I've considered doing a mashup of maybe a caveman with a wolf like head or a naked werewolf with a short sword, but I don't quite have the skills for it. Do you think you could give it a whack? *pleading smile* If not, I totally understand.

bobtheskull - I've been desperately searching for a 3d gibberling mini (the official ones are pretty hard to find). You may consider a HeroClix Jackal 026 figure - add a mane with green stuff or hot glue tufts. CoolStuffInc has them on sale for $0.21 now. You can cut the tines off an old comb to get cheap short sword blades.

Hey, those are really good! I could even model a short sword for them pretty easily. Thanks for the tip, Sam. I'm ordering 16 of them :-)

This is something I have totally wanted to buy in the past, but now that I have a printer it would make life SOOO much easier to print them. Any chance they could be recreated? What sort of base do you want?

Very nice work on that gibberling! I have this feeling that my wife is getting me an Anet A8 for my birthday in a week. Might just have to print some monsters.

I've just finished printing a set of iron maidens and the chain post. The iron maiden spikes printed ok without supports. Once they're painted and in the dungeon collection I'll post pics.

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product It'll be a while I'm afraid. I have more pressing things that are needed for upcoming games that I have to get done first (including a massive kraken). But they're on the list!

Thanks again, Sam.

"Holey horses" Ratman, have you ever seen such a thing?

Actually, I've been thinking. For a long time I've always wanted to see manufacturers offer hero minis for sale in a "triple pack". One hero mini, it all its glory. A second mini of the exact same sculpt in transparent plastic for when you are "invisible" and a third mini of the exact same sculpt mounted on a horse, for when you are riding "cross country".
I've never seen such a thing before, but with the dawn of 3D printing and seeing how these models are manipulated in software before being printed, I find myself wondering if its possible to pose a hero mini into a riding position and add a horse (or other mount)?
Perhaps some of you, who are savvy in the ways of 3D printing, could educate me on if this is possible or not?

Reminds me a little of Ral Partha's 3-Stage minis from back in the day. www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=3-Stage_Player_CharactersDepending upon the pose of the mini, I could probably "mash up" your idea pretty easily. There are some horses on Thingiverse, some mini figs, and making one invisible would simply mean printing in translucent filament. I'll see what's out there and see what I can do, just for fun.

Thank you - very useful. I have downloaded the files in case I ever get a 3D printer
