Going to start a new tag thread!I’m going to try post a model each Friday that I’ve 3D printed. Some may not be finished and some may even be failures! But I think it’ll be fun to post. Going to use the tags #FDMfriday #FDM #3dprinting #3Dprintedterrain and #FDMminiatures

Not sure I’d actually want to get treated by them. “Sorry why are you revving the chain glaive?”

Thanks! I need to get a bit neater in some elements. Basically trying to avoid oil washes because I can’t stand the faff and the fumes. But also recognise it’s a very good method haha.

Oculus Obscura @oculusobscura.bsky.social · 1d

I’m new to the 30k schemes! It surprised me to see how different some of them are and how nice! But lore’s the lore haha. I feel happy with this scheme been experimenting with a few different legions, but I’m not wedded to any, just want something interesting and easy to replicate.

Oculus Obscura @oculusobscura.bsky.social · 1d

Oh that’s a cool thought! Never really added stuff to models before so this is all new but I feel like HH allows a bit of personality to the hoards

Oculus Obscura @oculusobscura.bsky.social · 1d

Hell yeh! Gonna get some tiny chains too to wrap around the legionaries and nab some skulls from somewhere too!

Thank you! 🤘 I’ve never been a fan of marines so very out of practice painting them but I just have this strange draw to HH 😂 I also can’t be doing big effort marines so this chapter is a choice purely based on easy time haha. Now I can’t stop looking at chain axe conversions 😂

Rough and ready test scheme for my upcoming #horusheresy project. This marine has seen many many layers of paint at this point lol. I am less fussed about the individual look of models more the whole force so this scheme is prime, block colours, wash, stipple some highlights. Bosh!

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

Thanks man! Next time I’ll grab some shots of your gang! I got a few on Saturday but it was hard getting around everyone so probably missed half the players.

Oculus Obscura @oculusobscura.bsky.social · 12d

Yes just our general hive lore! But it was cool meeting people from their campaign and chatting narrative stuff too. Their narrative on the day shaped the way forward for their next campaign.

Oculus Obscura @oculusobscura.bsky.social · 12d

Did not put 2 and 2 together to realise we’d already connected on here! Apologies! Glad you had a good day though. Looking forward to seeing what’s next! They absolutely smashed it

Oculus Obscura @oculusobscura.bsky.social · 12d

These guys are a local group who put it on and fitted our lore into theirs. The narrative was around their setting lore and it all worked well. So yeh they put it all on and organised it, not had anything like this around here before!
