Show Your Work

Greetings, fellow DnD hunters and collectors! We’ve got sexy scatter terrain to help show off some of those magnificent trophies you acquired on one of your last hair-raising adventures, so let’s get this humble brag party started!

Whether some mighty monster bones are on display in a fancy Waterdeep museum or in a wealthy hunter’s private home, we all love a good for-the-thrill-of-a-hunt story, right?! DM Ben loves this one-shot encounter angle because our two pieces of featured scatter terrain give him a slew of storytelling options. Just remember – look but don’t touch. 😉

Loot Studios is always thinking of fun, unique scatter terrain, and god bless ’em, because we instantly gravitate to these kinds of ingenious DnD 3D Prints. We happily sliced up their Jawbone and Skull Displays from the aptly-named Cursed Collector’s Curiosities set.

These TTRPG 3D prints are nice and bulky for painting. The Jaw Display is a 1×2 d20 in size, and the Skull Display takes up a 2×2 d20 set of squares. DM Ben rushed into action to color these up this past weekend, and he kept it simple.

• Prime Flat Black | Slapchop Base.
• Wood Tables: ASP Ruddy Fur.
• Wood: GSW Skeleton Brown.
• Skull/Bones: Same skeleton paint scheme used previously.
• Teeth: Army Painter Blanche Ivory White + FAN Soft Tone Wash.
• Nails: ASP Echanted Steel.

DM Ben always felt that ASP Ruddy Fur was a great wood color choice for fancier timber. That deep red reminds him of cherry wood (which we loved in an earlier Potion Cart). It’s the kind of wood you always see in those grand, old historic homes, ya know?

These were literally finished late last night, so they’re not exactly perfect. DM Ben needs to circle back and touch up the wood tabletops and add a little color to the two skulls underneath the table. Also, our Skull Display lost one of its legs during support removal, so it’s a smidge uneven. However, that quirk amuses DM Ben…like the skull is so big and heavy that it broke the table.

Now, we just need to pick out a couple of nasty, bigger beasts that the players can fight that resemble a few of these mighty bones. The creatures definitely need to be at least 3×3 d20 squares in size. This could be a nice way to bring a few dinosaur-style miniatures into the game, so we’ll keep brainstorming some ideas as we build out this future one-shot DnD encounter.

Until next time!
