Your Norman is actually my favorite of the bunch.

I think I agree with you. He certainly turned out the closest to what I had in my head.

No, there’s no way to share your designs in a gallery in Heroforge itself as far as I know. Just the links.

Here’s the last of my current batch of minis, Norman Withers:

Can you please share the link for Norman...

I agree that their accessories can be off-size. The glasses for example are grossly oversized...

Hero forge models aren't unfairly priced btw. But I find it weird that they don't offer any mass-purchase options. The reason these models cost a lot is that they are being made, sold and sent singly, surely they can find ways to package stuff together, I'dd jump on a chance to buy models in packs of ten for example at a small discount.

3D printed so the making of them is as expensive to one figure as it is to 100 figures, so no help in there. Shipping is Cheaper per firuge when you have Many of them. But that is it. And allready you can order Many of them to make shipping cheaper per figurine.

I havent found this option yet, where is it?

Here is my order. It would have cost the same 15$ to order only one miniature. Now I did get all other miniatures "free shipping" along the first one.

I don't think that requires any option. Just make bigger order and shipping cost are compiled. Not cheap, but at least to Europe this is much better than order them separately, aka actually almost doubling the price of one...

Just after coat painting the cheaper plastic versions I can say that Also those looks good. Not so good as those 30$ but detailed enough! Before coat painting They seemed to be really bland, but the black coat really make difference They look really good. Just information to those who think that the premium plastic is too expensive. Of course it is better, but worth of that extra cost IMHO.

Hm. These are really, really nice, but those glasses just look like goggles on all of them. I guess that's just a bit too fine.

Forgot to share Finn from a few months ago, completing our Forgotten Age party.

That is some dang good work. Both in the models and the painting.

Very nice! How did you manage Carolyn's blouse? I cannot find anything similar to that on HeroForge? (I tried to do my own version of Carolyn a while back but had to settle for a far less correct top part.)

Could you share the link?

Thanks!

I used this basic shirt top:

I had to do a little bit of green stuff work for the brooch, and then the pleats and seams were just painted on.

It's been a while, but I've added a few more to the set:

Oh man! Keep em coming!

I've designed them all but have yet to pull the trigger.

More links to these? ;)

Thanks for posting these, I never knew this service existed. How do they compare in size to the miniatures from Mansions of Madness 2nd ed? especially the newer ones from the expansions?

Bigger, these guys are pretty much in a scale of their own.

Would love to see a side by side comparison if anyone has both. I'm half way through painting all of Mansions, and want to use the minis for my other Arkham games, but the size difference between the newest minis from the expansions and the originals drives me crazy. Was thinking the hero forge minis might be a good way to replace those undersized originals.

Srba- your paint jobs are awesome!

I’m doing similar with MoM, just because I really like MoM as well! I was very excited to realise last week that when the Circle Undone comes out, I will already have all six of the investigators in MoM mini form! First deluxe ever to be fully served with FFG minis!

I get excited about strange things, I’m aware...

How big do these look when placed on location cards? Having hard time getting a sense of scale. Will things get too crowded if 3-4 of these figures are on the same location?
