DMAgamus Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hey all, DMAgamus here. Quick painted this guy up today for one of my players. Hero Forge custom mini, painted once already by somebody else, I stripped i over the past week and painted it up today. His character was an open hand monk, but he's seen some things, and then stopped seeing because a lich blinded him, so he transformed into a death monk, prompting a new paint job. This was my first hero forge mini, I believe it's the low detail, strong kind, at least I hope it is, because the details are very meh. I didn't run into any trouble painting it that some people have, but that might be because it had already been pained once. Also some parts have a weird texture. I'm not particularly impressed by it, especially for the cost. I'd say get a nice reaper piece or some other brand, unless you absolutely can't faind anything to match your character in any sort of way. Anyways, here he is: Cu'ong the death monk. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrxak Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Nice paint job. I like the green bedroll and the bit of color you added to the back of the obviously well-used handwraps. I wouldn't mind seeing a closer shot of the face. I definitely prefer to use a cool-looking mini over an accurate mini, when it comes to my own tabletop RPG. If you can get something that's exactly right, that's wonderful, but if you can only get close (right race and class, wrong weapon), that's okay by me. It's all about imagination anyway, right?

That's when you have to let your inner Froggy the Great* take over, get out the clippers and greens stuff and modify! *He is a mod, head of House Frogwarts, and I don't think he has ever posted pics of an unmodified mini on these forums.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrxak Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I definitely do want to try some conversions someday, but first I want to get better at painting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAgamus Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I think he came out ok, though I may get some green stuff and make a blindfold for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
