I sent these with a bunch of other minis to the Rolling with Difficulties PO box. They are Ancient Drones from @comicaurora 's comic and the designs she didn't use and shared here
Austin said the box was opened and shown to everyone on RWD so I shouldn't be ruining the surprise. Make sure Austin remembers to get them to you Red.
For the rest of you the model is free to download and print from Thingiverse and Printables
While I much prefer to make brighter minis, I’ve always wanted a go at trying todo a Turnip28 mini. While it’s still brighter than most lol, I’m really happy with it’s style and basing.
Turnip28 is a grimdark setting where root-vegetable people fight each other in muddy lands, he’s a carrot man!
A little bit of kitbashing from this afternoon! Was watching everyone else make cool archons out of the karlina von karstein kit and had to cobble my own together for an upcoming narrative campaign with my local group!
Titan Forge did a great job on the sculpt, the miniature was a pleasure to work with. I probably need to paint more models with exposed skin, had a lot of fun in process
Finally started on some digital kitbashes last night! Super happy with how these look the body's are from Piano Wargames Württemberg Light Infantry Models and the heads are from Max's Patreon. I've been wanting to get into Turnip so bad for the longest time but finding somewhere in my area that sells 28mm Napoleonic minis has been a struggle so making my own is the next best thing! I feel it's very much on the spirit of turnip anyways lol I'm hoping I can get some physical minis in the future tho as I love kitbashing irl but working on these guys and printing them will do me for now
Rolling with Difficulties and a breakdown of project creep
Rolling with Difficulty is a live play 5e D&D Planescape podcast. Sophia, who plays Dani (does the Moviestruck podcast and is Overly Sarcastic Productions editor/producer) made several jokes about precious moments figurines in Season 3 so I wanted to make precious moments figurines of the characters. I started that in January of 2023 when Season 3 was playing and I posted it on April 1 of last year.
Since I made those I thought I might as well make minis and since I wanted to reduce the number of packages I held off on sending the precious moments to the RWD PO Box. And since I wanted everything, other than the precious moments figures(because I showed them off while making them), to be a surprise I didn't post any of them.
Austin the DM thought that Intellect devourers are too goofy with dog legs so he gave his spider legs which I though was cool so I made it and printed a few.
@comicaurora, who plays Kyana, posted some concept art of an ancient drone that appeared for a chapter of Aurora and I was inspired by the one she labeled as dumb so I modeled it. I thought it would be weird to only send one concept and not the one that appears in the comic so I did those too. They got posted earlier and separately since they are not RWD.
By the end of Season 3 I had modeled the original crew and Dani's robot cat Plug and printed a mini of each(plus and extra Dani for season 1 red Dani) for their player and Austin. I though I should send a Plug in scale with the Precious Moments figures and that the rest of the crew would want them. So I printed one for every cast member.
And then between seasons 3 and 4 they did a Weird Little dude one shot giving official art for every crew member's companion. One of Finbar's pixies Old Bay, one of VR-LA's mechanical bugs Drone, and Kyana's pseudo dragon Sunny. So I modeled all of them and printed one for their player and one for Austin.
I was trying to paint and send out all them before Season 4 started so I wouldn't have to model Vhas. Well Season 4 ended in September 2023 and I'm posting this now.
Season 5 was announced to be the last about the crew of the Per Aspera and I was still procrastinating on painting them so I made peace with them not being painted and just sent them. Austin told me he opened the packages right before recording the last episode of Season 5.
And I ended up needing to send them in two boxes despite not wanting to send more than one being the reason I delayed sending them.

Calling these guys done, my modelling project since January or so, done in little bursts when I had time and remembered it existed through the year. No they're not neat, but actually finishing anything is a big deal for me and TBH the sparse palette and drenching everything in agrax works for the Blanchitsu aesthetic I was aiming at.
Intended as a war band for Adam Nicol 's Hive Desolate setting (https://www.thefluffenhammer.com/articles/fall-of-erimus-book-one-the-hive-desolate) this is the Ossewer Revenni, once an AdMech explorator team who have gone... wrong in the cursed and abandoned Hive.
Kitbash I painted up of Frostgrave barbarians II parts, a warlord project Z gun, and a bit of plasticard. Not quite sure what this lady or her pals are going to be used for, but having fun with them.
