Got some goodies from #ArchonStudios recently, both for the modular sets from #DungeonsandLasers and to try my hand at putting minis together. I'm really pleased with the outcome, and I might look into painting them as well

While there is probably a bunch more I could do with this, I think I'm going to call it done. 🙂 Gourmet from #ArchonStudios.

A shot of a large, monstrous, ogre-like miniature. It is carrying a large blade in its left gauntleted fist, and it's wearing a spiked gorget on its shoulders with a skull over its sternum.
Its right arm is red and has numerous eyes up it to the shoulder. It is wearing just a pair of brown trousers that covers to the knee, while a rope belt has 4 skulls hanging from it.
It has a green cloth over the left side of its face, and its mouth is covered in blood. The base is painted to look like dead and cracked earth, with bleached bones in a pile.

A second shot of a large, monstrous, ogre-like miniature from a different angle. It is carrying a large blade in its left gauntleted fist, and it's wearing a spiked gorget on its shoulders with a skull over its sternum.
Its right arm is red and has numerous eyes up it to the shoulder. It is wearing just a pair of brown trousers that covers to the knee, while a rope belt has 4 skulls hanging from it.
It has a green cloth over the left side of its face, and its mouth is covered in blood. The base is painted to look like dead and cracked earth, with bleached bones in a pile.

A shot of a large, monstrous, ogre-like miniature from the back. It is carrying a large blade in its left gauntleted fist, which has a red grip. It's wearing a spiked gorget on its shoulders which looks like it is affixed to its back with metal. There is a large growth on its right shoulder that is darker than the rest of its skin, like a birth mark.
Its right arm is red and has numerous eyes up it to the shoulder. It is wearing just a pair of brown trousers that covers to the knee, while a rope belt has numerous bones hanging from it.
The base is painted to look like dead and cracked earth, with a bleached skeleton having narrowly missed being trampled. Where the creature is standing, the pale earth is scorched.

First build of the #MotU set from #ArchonStudios, Laughing Prince Adam! He'll be a proxy for He-Man in gaming! I've worked w/ many different miniature materials, but am pretty new to sprue-based models / HIPS. This is amazing stuff!!!

I really no idea why a shipment of #MastersoftheUniverseBattleground from #ArchonStudios would be stuck in #Germany for an undisclosed number of days before transit to the #UnitedStates.

Hope other #crowdfunding projects from abroad face similar fates on their way to US backers.

Last of the LOAD minis, though some might pop up later. 2018 was the year I really worked on the set a lot.
