BEHIND THE BATTLE LINES: WIP OF THE GROTLINGS – SEEKING YOUR EXPERTISE

Dear Legendary Makers,

Felix is finishing up sculpting some awesome Grotlings that will be available to our Patrons very soon, and he needs your wise advice.

He is sculpting them in rows (instead of single models) so that the little Grotlings can interact with each other in dynamic and funny poses, which adds more character to the set and fits very well with their extremely crazy nature.

Then, the idea is to combine these Grotling rows in pairs to create many different bases of Grotlings.

Felix has sculpted 4 rows (12 possible Grotling bases), he'll probably do 5 finally (20 possible bases).

How many rows would you, Legendary Makers think is best to create a good swarm of Grotlings?

While he was sculpting them, he was playing with the idea that these little Grotlings have stolen their weapons from the Goblins, and he thought it was a very good idea. But although they look awesome and funny, he's not sure if these weapons are too much for the little fellas.

Do you think the weapons are maybe too sophisticated for the Grotlings... specifically the ball and chain, and perhaps some axes?

We eagerly await your wise advice.

Thank you!

Johanna Acquah Paniagua.

Leyendo un poco los comentarios anteriores, me gusta el detalle que ha mencionado Sircael, creo que los iba a hacer muy divertidos, sobre todo para pintarlos.

Usamos la Grey de Formlabs, pero esta es exclusiva de las impresoras Formlabs. Hay muchas resinas que dejan un acabado muy chulo por eso, si preguntas en nuestro Discord allí dominan mucho de resinas para imprimir en 3D y te contestarán mucho mejor que yo (que solo uso la Formlabs Form3).

A mi me parecería gracioso un grupo de Grotlings imitando a sus primos mayores, los orcos de hierro, con armaduras improvisadas con cubos de fregar en vez de cascos, sartenes como escudos y toneles de licor como armaduras. Sería sublime

Models look amazing as usual. I also like the idea above of removing the flail and add more "mockery" pieces - particularly to the Dwarves. Would also love to see a giant or squig/squig hoppers in the future.

Hi Hi

More primative weapons, see above (or below depending on order of comments). Oh, and mushrooms! And mini squigs! Maybe some fighting each other. Maybe some individuals for diaramas. From the rules (6th ed?) they are accompanied by other creatures that inhabit the Drops. But you have made me happy.

The sculpts look excellent and I think the idea of having different rows that can be combined is great. Personally I'd rather see them without the weapons. But it's always easier to cut off a weapon than it is to add a new one, so I don't mind them being there.

Tim van Weert

I think if they have stolen weapons (and it should only be a few) they should definitely be wielding them incorrectly. Spears with the blunt end out, maybe two flails wrapped up like headphones in a pocket.

Michael Barrett

I think they are great, I would like to have some of the solo models.

Larry Gato

I think five rows would be a good amount to make a variety of swarms that don't look too doubled up. As far as weapons go, I second what other people have said, with only a couple of real weapons, and mostly improvised weapons like broken bottles, bones, branches, and broken spear tips or knives. I'd also really like to see at least some of them as individual models, so we could put them on their own bases or use them to decorate larger scenes.
