Heroforge has a few options for detail and material, this is our group's thief ordered in "Low Detail" option.
$15.... As you can see it looks to be made from carved sugar cubes.
I hit him with a toothbrush and that did knock off a lot of the little nuggets of plastic that clearly were not a detail. I'll have to paint in detail for most things like face, leggings, rapier hilt and the flagstones on the base.... here we go!!!!!
Used dark brown Apple barrel brand paint, and a black ink glaze from Armypainter. The mini drank the paint, the ink when applied to the base soaked in evenly, no definition. Porous AF!! You should hit it with a sealer before applying paint to avoid the soaking in issue.
Basic colors, slopped on lighter brown for boots and original brown on other leather, etc. I used dark blue to highlight the hair. Shading is next!
The back. This is the point where I pout on a matte varnish over all to seal it from soaking in anything else. The existing paint layers helped, but the varnish was noticeably better.
I used a mix of Reichland flesh shade for the flesh and gold. Black ink, brown ink and army painter deep shader for everything else. Touching up the gray base, a lot of gray highlights and deep shader glazes and brown ink for the space between.
Highlights!!! Mixed white with the base colors , building up highlights. Went with slight gray to his hear after the black ink over blue I did earlier.
Olive green, glazed with brown ink and highlighted slightly with the original olive green.
There he is, finished!!
Better light to show details. I had a time painting smooth highlights over the grainy surface.
Another angle. The grain structure is strong, but hopefully with the paint job and the fact he won't often be seen closer than 1-2 feet away! Put matte clear varnish over the whole guy, and gloss over the chain shirt and sword... even glosses the beer bottles! Hope you enjoyed and learned a little about the heroforge types of plastic.
