Snakes and Logs

TGIF, everybody! We’re going to keep things lighthearted today and just share a couple of fun, quickie print and paint pieces we did last weekend. And who knows, maybe we’ll inspire you to grab a couple off your Pile of Shame and get them onto your game table!

Over the weekend, DM Ben was tasked with painting that Giant Predator Wasp, which we featured earlier this week. He often has about half a dozen other 3D-printed miniatures and scatter terrain pieces slapchopped and at the ready, so he can do some batch painting. So, we thought we would share a couple of other pieces he did while painting up that mean ol’ bug.

First, we have these cool makeshift woodland barriers by Tiny Furniture. Lots to love here as this creator’s STLs always print beautifully and have plenty of heft. You never have to worry about the 3D print coming out too fragile (which drives us nuts if something snaps while removing the supports). These are from their Old Woods set, but be sure to join their value-packed, affordable monthly Patreon.

DM Ben was happy to color these woodland barriers and thinks they will make for excellent cover options on any outdoor game board. Getting +2 or +4 to your AC is especially good for any friend or foe, right? Additionally, we enjoy placing extra scatter terrain, which significantly enhances a player’s tactical options.

The other STL we completed over the weekend was this sneaky snake trap by Kracken Studios. This dastardly hazard was a stretch goal from their killer Dungeon of Despair Kickstarter. Boy oh boy, did this one come with a ton of fab STLs. Even while writing this article, we probably said, “whoah, how did we miss that one?” like half a dozen times!

Nothing complicated about this 3D print, so DM didn’t mind at all painting it on his batch assembly line. We’re thinking we should add this one as a replacement row for our free Dungeon Delve Wandering Monster table. You also get to pay homage to one of the best movie lines in cinematic history…come on, say it with me now, “Snakes…why did it have to be snakes?”

Still, two very easy-to-3D-print and paint scatter terrain pieces to add to your wonderful DnD library. Of course, just check for traps first before proceeding. 😉

DM Ben is off on Monday for a little extra R&R three-day weekend, so we’ll see everyone next Tuesday. Until next time!
