Collins Does DnD 5e
The Fourth of Five
Moving onto my character! Bimir the Rogue, affectionately referred to by Kel as the ‘Sneaky Bastard Elf’.
This is the first model I bought and printed off, but I wanted to paint the others in my group first as their artwork was available a lot sooner.
I decided to make my own character on heroforge.com. That website is very cool and only gets better! I would say however, compared to the other models i’ve bought and printed this one is somewhat low poly. I guess that it is the trade off i’ve made to get something I have designed (within parameters) with pose, weapons etc. This low polyness was most noticeable on the cape even after priming and painting.
The good thing about hero forge is that you can add stuff to the base. Being a rogue thief Bimir is driven by the gold, gems and general loot…normally being the first to declare looting the room, usually before combat has actually ended, after all, that’s what barbarians are for…
He sadly had a runin with the redbrants early on and took an arrow to the face causing a permanent minus 1 to charisma thanks to a nasty scar, that can be seen in the artwork and on the model.
the artwork all has a theme of a splash of colour being added into each one and Bimir was no different. He has purple gems on his cloak but this model also has some gauntlets with some things that could be painted as gems too so I did! didn’t have a purple in my paint collection so had to mix one which was a massive failure, I really need to work on colour theory! Colour theory and photography.
