Lets Forge!

With Halloween just around the corner, I thought I might throw together a Hero Forge edition of a cover for my favourite spooky book! I've tried to keep the monster as close to the description of the novel as possible whilst also adding some contemporary attributes. The perspective is a little off, I know, but otherwise, I'm quite pleased with it!

Sort of wanted to save this for Halloween which is just round the corner, but Septembers sort of just Halloween-eve isn’t it? Anyway, Nosferatu!

A couple of years ago I attempted to recreate my vintage Hero Quest orc mini figure on Hero Forge. He was alright, but now that face customisation has become a reality he’s very nearly perfect 🥹

“Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay to mold me man? Did I solicit thee from darkness to promote me?”

Nothing too special here, just two friends chilling by the fireside while on an epic quest

So a few years ago, while running my first homebrew lego/d&d campaign, I’d left my players an ominous message telling them to travel west to meet with a wizard named Treebody. Around the same time I found this image of a Planet of the Apes/ Lord of the Rings crossover cosplay. I decided that chimp Gandalf was the perfect candidate for my mysterious wizard. Now that facial customisation is out, I wasted no time in recreating the grey wizard Treebody and his apprentice Rot Pota

Major improvements to two old characters very dear to my heart thanks to facial customisation. Gone are the days of having one good undead face and one good orc face 😆 Allow me to present the dread sorcerer Razaak along with his henchman and very best friend Rufus

Okay, so I've shared this story before but now that we can have two heroes sharing a base, I've finally been able to immortalise this special moment. This is the scene in our campaign where my character Gandleforth (left) and friend Slither (right) come face to face with an ancient gold dragon. Certain they are going to die, Gandleforth finally reveals his biggest secret, that he's gay. Slither then places a brotherly hand on his shoulder and says "I know" and assures him it's alright, and that they can talk more about it if they survive.

I hope you enjoy this small comic-book-esque recreation of the scene! Feel free to share your own heartfelt character moments in the comments if you'd like! ⚔️🐸💪🏾
