That's very cool!

Where did you get the models and how did you make them?

I found "similar enough" looking models from Nolzur's Marvelous Miniature Line and the Vulkyn Flameseekers from Warhammer's Warcry.

Considering one was a bearded human bard and the other was a half-elf with a pony tail, I was lucky to find a bard with a beard and pony tail combo blister that could work for both (converting one with the signature crossbows), then I just picked a random sorceress from the line and replaced a Dwarf's axe with the everburn blade. With a similar enough paintjob people dismiss all the indiscrepencies like one would a cold reading.

Very impressive! The paint job goes a long way, along with the small alterations you've made.

I was expecting you to say you'd somehow exported the BG3 models and 3D printed them, that's how close they looked to the original characters.

That's so cool! How long did it take you to complete it?

[–] Stormygeddon 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The co-op campaign took about three months for us to complete. The minis? About 3-4 hours each I wasn't counting.

Interesting, thanks! I'm trying to complete a co-op compaign, it takes forever ha ha
