The Wildhearts
Nothing Ever Changes But the Shoes
The HeroForge website (http://www.heroforge.com) is beautifully simple and really intuitive to use. What surprised me was the sheer range of choices for miniatures.
It didn’t take me long to filter out all the medieval animal-hide clothing and focus in on just the “modern” apparel – which, although limited, provided enough range and choice for four basically scruffy-looking herberts.
Now, personally, I’d have liked to be able to scale the instruments (a bass guitar should be noticeably larger than a “regular” six-string guitar) but it’s a minor detail I can forgo for now.
I can’t really criticise HeroForge for having a limited selection of guitars to choose from either – an acoustic and a couple of electric guitars is about it. But, then again, it’s really more a website for building fantasy adventurers, isn’t it? So we’ll let them have that one too.
I’d have liked a couple more choices of hairstyles (dreadlocks and punky spiked rather than just a mohecan for example) but I managed to get them “close enough”.
After an hour or so of messing about on the HeroForge website, and about $28 later, I had four .stl files ready for printing.
