    3d printing is great and you can really make some cool stuff very quickly, but I feel like people sometimes overlook how fun something like gussying up a dollar tree store toy like this can be. Plus you always get a one-of-a-kind mini, even if it's ability to stand upright unassisted is... dubious 😂

    Fun Fact: Dollar Tree’s website lets you buy things by the case and pick them up at your local store. For example, I looked up this particular toy and a case comes with two versions of that guy and a mech. 24 assorted figures for $30.

    The paper towel texture on the wings kind of reads as a rough/scaley surface to me so I think it works in favor of the model.

    Ive seen this very same toy turned into different monsters for the tabletop. Theres even a video on here turning it into a troll (i think) using hot glue iirc. Great to see another take and from the king himself. It would be great to see a video compilating all your conversions for creatures.

    Beautiful as always, I had to force a balor on a party one time so I borrowed from lord of rings and had them tip toeing through the mines til the end when they had to go toe to toe with one on a crumbling bridge. Dex saves while dodging the Chuck Norris of the underworld made for a fun time (for me at least)!

    I gotta say, what impressed me the most was you pulling out the old school Tanar'ri. That made these old Grognark ears happy. I've been playing since there was only Basic and Advanced. Back when Ral Partha was the big one for minis. I just stopped playing/DMing 2nd and got into 5E a few years ago. DMed my first Homebrew 5E One Shot over the last few weeks. I've been following you and Black Magic Craft down the UA-cam Rabbit Hole for the last few weeks also, and seriously thinking about getting into the Crafting part now. The only problem I have is ever since the "Plague of 2020" happened, we have been playing strictly online. Our group is mostly local, but I have a few players in other states now. Discord, Fantasy Grounds, and Owlbear Rodeo doesn't lend itself well to working with physical minis. I may say the heck with it and just use what I'm learning from you guys to make things just for me. Someday we may play at a table again, and if we do I'll be ready!

  • @AzraelThanatos
    @AzraelThanatos Рік тому +4

    For wings, a good option is to look at the more glossy tissue paper of the kind you normally see sold for gift bags and boxes (and several things come with there) for a layer over the top. It tends to remove more of the texture there

    Man, that turned out great. The hot glue for the fire was a nice trick and really turned out nice. I love the Final Faction line. I've used it to kitbash a few alien monsters for Stargrave and the accessory packs can be used for so much. I'll be using our little friend you have, along with several other toys from the line, to create Horrors for the upcoming game The Doomed. He will fill in for the Abyssal Colossus. I bet that toy would make a good proxy for a Khorne demon, or even the Cyberdemon from DOOM.

There is a UA-camr by the Name of Broken Terrain that clued me into final faction he had made a giant goblin siege monster thing. Also you'll love the speeds paints just a tip if you seal then you can add addition washes because they do rehydrate

    And if that paper towel texture bothers you, get you some flexible modeling paste, mix with yellow paint to make the base for flames and set those wings on fire!

    One thing I have always loved about balor lore is how there are more demon lords than balors. Which, of course is total nonsense if you stop for more tha a second and put thought into it. There are 666 known layers of the abyss so even if a tenth of them had a lord, they still outnumber the amount of balors.
