Wargame Forge 3D Prints: Free Gothic Building Test

Another pair of 3d prints for today’s post – we have a couple more free STLs, this time from Wargame Forge over on MyMiniFactory. This time we have the Gothic Building Test, which comes in quite a few variations. I initially printed and painted the damaged version without rubble skirt or either of the hex tile versions. It came up pretty well overall.

A few weeks later, I printed the undamaged version using the new Fat Dragon Games terrain settings for my printer and tried to match the paint to the first version. The print was a ton faster, but the layer lines came out much more obvious than the setting I’d used for the ruin. Since I’m not printing terrain for a store or to run a tournament, I’ll just take the extra time they take for a slightly better eventual outcome. Flippy never sleeps anyway!

I do like Wargame Forge’s building style and models as they’re simple and straightforward – they have a 40k look but not too extreme, so they would still work decently for other games such as Battletech, etc, but they’re a little pricey, especially given how quickly they add up for minor variations such as essentially the same model with an additional floor making for an addiitonal STL requiring an additional purchase. The bespoke buildings are a much better deal IMO as there’s a bit more to them. I may pick up a few of each when there’s a half-price Black Friday sale or something similar, but in the meantime I’ve got plenty more to print!

Realm of Chaos - Citadel Brayherd Beastmen Gors

Last Month I painted a(nother) trio of Beastmen. These three are more of the huge pack of rescue beastmen that I still have to work through. They were cleaned up, glued to bases with sand on them and primed brown – so all of the tedious stuff done – so it was simply a matter of grabbing three of them and doing the more enjoyable stuff – something I need to do more often until I get the last of these finished.

These ones got a blonde-ish tone for their thick hair and manes. My headcanon for GW’s beastmen has them all covered entirely by short hair, like a cat, a horse or even a goat with sectrions of longer hair located here and there, as well as their manes. Most of the beastmen I’ve painted so far have either black or dark brown for their manes, so I’ll probabaly start adding in a bit more variation with each lil’ batch that I do. Once they’re all mixed in together it should give a nice natural(!) looking bit of variation rather than having these literal beasts of chaos all looking as uniform as Ultramarines!
