Tomb Thursday P29: Big Flex

Greetings, sand combers! Let’s welcome Tomb Thursday with some sizable muscle and a few more odes to the gods. Let us pray (for a bunch of gold and coming back out alive).

It’s one thing to whip up a new dengeon crawl our wilderness trek, but a true tomb raid takes much more mental energy…and resin. You can’t just really reach over and grab a mitful of Egyptian miniatures. Well, fret not, treasure seekers. We got ya covered.

Let’s kick the stone running with a couple of featured scatter terrain pieces of the most god-lovin’ kind. Egyptians weren’t really for putting all their prayers in one basket, so tribute came in many forms. Hence why we’re trying to give DM Ben plenty of tomb decor for all his room-building needs. Our first piece, Glorious Kebechet (aka the “Protector of the Dead”), is by Aether Studios and is from their must-print Throne Room set.

Next is another DnD statue by Iain Lovecraft and his exceptional Desert Adventures Kickstarter. We’ve featured nearly all of the STLs from this statue subset, and they’re just so well done. Details abound, baby!

DM Ben colored these up using our somewhat darker sand paint scheme. He also wanted to do one in solid black and put a varnish over it so it would be shinier. These should fit nicely into various rooms inside your tomb or even in a Pharaoh’s palace dungeon crawl.

We’ll conclude our DnD day with another heavy-hitting pyramid guard that will guard your tomb’s treasures for all of eternity. This magnificent TTRPG STL is by Dungeon Classics. Sure, it’s labeled a Clay Golem, but who says you have to paint this RPG miniature to its precise file name?!

That’s one of the things that is so darn cool about our 3D printing hobby. You can put your own spin on any print simply by picking different color combinations. Let’s take a quick look at the paints DM Ben used for his new Tomb muscle.

• Prime Flat White.
• Overall Sand Color | usual paint scheme.
• Markings: GSW Tropical Turquoise.
• Metal Banding: FAN True Copper.
• Claws: Citadel Contrast Flesh Tearers Red.
• Head: FAN True Gold.
• Eyes: Black.

Finish that off with a clear base, and your desert soldiers are ready to get it on!

Longtime 3DRPG readers know DM Ben always requests a monster squad of around five miniatures every time we run some new baddies on our 3D printer. Nothing frustrates him more than when we pass him a single brand-new, kick-arse miniature. He’s like, “So you just want to roll over the Tomb crawl, ey? Why not just print out a baby duck and have you guys fight that?”

Even though DM Ben didn’t paint this TTRPG miniature like an actual Clay Golem, he’s leaning towards using their bruising stats: AC 14, HP 133, Att x2: +8/2d10+5 damage, Berserk, Magic Resistance & Haste. Depending on the party’s level, it’s unlikely the DM would ever throw more than four of these mighty mights in a battle, but they would definitely be guarding a very high-value area.

Until next time!
