I love making minis on hero forge. The fact that they will let you save characters for free without needing to buy them is such a plus when I just want to model out some visuals of a created character.

Taliesin and Liam: now we have access to a 3d printer we finally get our own custom minis for our PCs with ease! Matt behind the curtain: Those fools! now now I can make and send my army of tiamats to kill these mortals! Taliesin's real eldritch horror form living underneath the earth's crust: what a pitiful pipe dream, you cannot kill that which is immortal.
In this life he is Taliesin Jaffe, there is no telling what identity he will take in about 30 or 40 years when he has to use his warlock powers to move on to a new life.
I love how they standardized the body measurements so you can just set a mini to 5'6" and every mini set to 5'6" will be the same height. Also, there are waaaay more clothes and weapons now.
Love them showing off SLA printing, but if anyone saw this and thought it was really cool, getting an FDM Printer is a much cheaper alternative and, if printed correctly, can get pretty close to resin printers in quality! EDIT: Yes, there are a few cheap SLA printers, but I’m also including the cost of Resin vs the cost of a roll of filament, so I’m talking about cost over lifetime. I also didn’t say it originally, but FDM is less immediately dangerous than SLA
SLA printers and DLP printers even more have become much more affordable the last 2 years. 300€ will buy you a more than good enough printer do make all the minis you ever wanted with the exception of some ginormous stuff that would just not fit the printarea. I am not trying to talk bad about FDM printers here i have both and the are both doing extremely well if you give them the job they were made for. (Ps. for all you mini needs just google "mz4250").
DLP printers are getting pretty cheap, last month i got my anycubic photon for 250$. I do agree that FDM can get pretty close to DLP/SLA, there are some things you can only achieve with resin printers.
@@MrSJPowell yeah, i got mine for 250$ last month, it's just a tiny bit more expensive then FDM, and it's much better for mini's, i also own a FDM printer and buying the DLP was really worth it.
Anyone else think that looked so fun that they paused the video just to go try it because the NEEDED to see some of the weird stuff that got scrolled past but not tried on?
Haven't even watched the video yet, but goddamn do I love Everything Is Content. Edit: So I watched the thing and there's 10 minutes of a machine pooping plastic with several things going in front of a greenscreen. #EverythingIsContent never disappoints.
You know that thing when a word is repeated until it's not a word anymore and it's just a sound. "Vibe" "Vibe" "Vibe" "Vibe" "Vibe" "Vibe" "Vibe" "Vibe" "Vibe" "Vibe" "Vibe" "Vibe"
@Andrew Homiak They could do part 1 is Hero Forge and part 2 is miniature painting. I thoroughly enjoy the idea of Griffin swearing through fine brush work.
"I'm actually into the idea of giving them [The robot] a skeleton body" This is what the people at Games Workshop were thinking when they created the Necrons
That's either a DLP or SLA printer which uses liquid resin, which gets exposed to directed UV-light to solidify the material! The printers you are talking about are FDM printers which use PLA/ABS/PETG and all sorts of other plastics which get melted at around 200 degrees and pushed through a nozzle.
@@alexgergely3930 - The level of quality and detail on this is absolutely amazing though. I had a HeroForge model 3d printed with either a PLA or ABS printer at a makerspace near me (figured it'd save on the shipping), and it was a horrendous mess of squiggles.
@@TheMrVengeance Well you can achieve pretty good quality with a FDM printer as well if you've got good settings and supports! But sla/dlp is just next level.

I've imported literally over 4 dozen custom character models from heroforge to my Table top simulator games on steam. I even published a library of my creations. I think I have spent something like 500 dollars on the site at this point and I will continue to give them my money without regret for a long, long time to come. Its a wonderful team, and a wonderful tool with extremely reasonable prices for a CUSTOM mini.
Imagine Toy Story, but in Matt's House, they got small burns and strange miniature eldritch tentacles on the walls of their last apartment for some reason.
I kid you not, I just spent 3 hours creating my first ever mini for my first ever character, after playing my first ever game just yesterday. And I was finishing up my mini when this popped into my notifications.
I still wanna someday get a heroforge mini of my tiefling. I use heroforge a lot since I can't draw humanoid faces very well so I would just make the character up in that and take screenshots
@@guilhermeweber2340 We all picked the basic plastic one. It's pre primed so it was really helpful for us since almost everyone had never painted minis before
Thank you so much for uploading the fastforward creation footage at the end guys aaaa - that stream was so chill but my european ass couldn't stay up late for it lol
This is exactly what happens when an all-powerful lich (OBVIOUSLY Liam) meets an un-contemplatable elder god (OBVIOUSLY Taliesin). Everyone wins!...Also everyone's brains explode with joy.
Taliesin and Liam! My two genuine dark daddies. Liam, I recently got back into playing Skullgirls and I forgot you play the part of Leviathan, who appears to have a symbiotic relationship with Squiggly. She's def my Top 3 Skullgirl.
I just like spending time on Hero Forge to test out visuals of character ideas, or even create one. Like the sickle in the video got me back on to check how well I can make a Redcap, and thinking what character I could build from the result.
@@WateryStar Half the time I boot up a game that has it just to play with character creation. A lower point was that I don't have any experience or skills with painting them. But I just spent way too much money on kits to paint with, so I got a backlog of figures that I customized and bought in other moments of weakness.
I've spent many happy hours on HeroForge. I'm designing an alternate universe for D&D (shedding the wargamey, binary, colonialist baggage) and needed to work out 15 original playable peoples (a.k.a. "races", see baggage). HeroForge was SUPER helpful in finding distinct looks for all of them. And as I can afford it I'm getting example NPCs from each of them. I am so happy with HeroForge quality (and this video confirmed that I am entirely happy to pay to have them do all the printing and trimming and mail me the completed mini). Our D&D group has tried all the materials now and all are great, but I mostly order in the cheapest because it's perfectly fine once painted. (The metals do have great heft though and my players love 'em for their characters.)
Love Hero Forge. Haven't ordered anything from them yet, but I'll spend so much time just designing characters. And they'll add new options all the time, too! It gets bigger and better! :D
Talesin: And I, for the most part, am Talesin Jaffe.
Talesin is an immortal, fifth dimensional pyramid confirmed.
for the some part
Taliesin sold part of his soul to the goth gods for sweet hair.
Good choice.
He is a thousand beings in one waistcoat.
I just want to know what the rest of him consists of specifically...
@@ScorchHellfire It worries me what - or rather who - it might be.... Let's hope it's someone cool, like Christopher Lee.
"I'll admit I spend hours doing this on my Ipad" - Taliesin
Maybe this is how he figured out Molly's coat
Hearing Taliesin Jaffe repeat “That has a vibe” and “I’m into it” while Liam creates a whereraven for an hour is what I didn’t know I needed
13:07 "What if he's a raven dressed as a wolf?"
The hunter wolf with a beak was here all along and we didn't even know it...
"dad, do you have a wereraven character too?"
"yep"
"what's his name?"
"Vax'ildan"
I CHOCKED
WHEEZE
I love making minis on hero forge. The fact that they will let you save characters for free without needing to buy them is such a plus when I just want to model out some visuals of a created character.
+++ I use HeroForge a ton when I'm figuring out NPCs or whole new peoples.

He’s the best goth dad we all need
“I start every character in a tailcoat because I have a problem.” Damn, same 😂
Damn, he called you out. LOL!
I feel called out lmao
Tal constantly saying "that's a vibe" is a vibe.
I'm going to introduce myself by saying "and for the most part I'm-" from now on
"Tune in next week to another episode of "Everything Is Content" when Matt and Marisha are going to watch the paint dry on M9 miniatures!
Why do I get the feeling that I would gladly watch that?
Because everything is content.
3000 people were watching this on twitch and it was fun in the chat.
So I think we can easily have a blast watching paint dry lol
@@DaniGeez That`s settled then, somebody has to pitch this idea to them! xd
If it's acrylic (which is what Matt has used in the past) it only takes 30-45 minutes at most, and is usually around 1-2 minutes.

Also; dancing Travis was lovely.
“Nope, that’s too close to dabbing...”

Please don't skip the 3d printing montage
Trust me on that

This episode teeters on the edge of becoming monster factory
wonder when we're getting a monster factory of hero forge
The not the Critical Role/McElroy crossover we wanted, but the crossover we needed.
Dude! Same!
@Andrew Homiak They could do part 1 is Hero Forge and part 2 is miniature painting. I thoroughly enjoy the idea of Griffin swearing through fine brush work.
So glad they uploaded this, I was too busy making a mini to pay attention when it was live
And then they introduced color and multiplied the amount of time we all spend on heroforge by a factor of 20.
They haven't had this much fun since paper-dolling in Soul Calibur with Matt.
Glad to know I’m not the only one who loves spending hours on HeroForge 😂

Seems right that Liam and Tal are joining forces to create a bird character considering they were the Corvid Brothers last Campaign.
Liam's robot voice always sends me..
CritRole Stats should tally how many times Taliesin says "vibe" during this 😆
I’ve spent to mutch money of heroforge even tho I’ve only played two dnd games
I just get free models on thingiverse because im a cheapskate
You should start again! With all those miniatures, and the move of CR. You would be a great boon in the DM seat for new players!
