Is the script on the tombstones too small to be reproduced through casting? It looks fantastic but I've seen a lot of others attempt small fonts like that and it didn't work out. I'm hoping yours does obviously but thought I'd point it out and ask a silly question anyway :mrgreen:

@ Sjeng: Well I only release this much miniature goodness once a decade :P The bleeding has time to heal!

@Robh: Ha ace, i was wondering if anyone would get that reference xD *hi five* I grew up with that game :D

@4TonMantis: Well the casting will reproduce it no problem, its just the printing process which is the limiting factor. But ive been getting some good prints lately, even made the tinterwebs news a few times :D

Thanks Stratos :D After the KS, if funding goes well, will be upgrading some of the equipment for post cleanup of parts. Heated ultrasonic cleaner, medical drying cabinet, better UV cure station :D All good fun

A key tile ... or should i call it; a bait tile? ;)

I like the tile key, but is it worth it or would it be as a simple token?
Anyway, another idea I had ages ago, but forgot about, was a really big 3d wall piece, like a backdrop for a boss fight. The specific thing I was thinking off was: the gates of Kas Modan.
Deep underground is the lost dwarven city of kas modan, two giant doors carved of solid rock, supported between two giant statues if ancient dwarven kings, mark its entrance.
Something about 6-8 squares wide, roughly the the same height. You'd have to have it at the end of the quest series, with an epic boss in front of it, blocking your way.

I second this idea. Especially for the Inner Sanctum wall in Mage of the Mirror. The cardboard wall in the expansion just doesn't stand properly.

Card token, or 3d paintable resin key? 3D resin tile every time ;)

Sounds cool, would be something to go to town on that is for sure! I still need to sort a wall mounted portal, could maybe incorporate that.

Some classic dungeon dwelling goblins, three with weapons which can be swapped out (sword, spear, mace, cutlas) .. and one drunk sentry with bottle of grog asleep against his spear!

I like the goblins. Awesomely done.
Still haven't decided on which goblins to use for mine. Leaning towards Confrontation, now.
The ones from Mantic would have been very nice sculpts, but they are shitty quality with moldlines bigger than their weapons and multipart gaps deeper than my arse crack.

Now, yours, Thantos, are on rank 2. More to come?
Also, how tall? Are these one-inch bases?
