Tomb Thursday P34: Nice Threads

Greetings, fellow sand crawlers! Another Tomb Thursday slithers its way onto your screen. We’ve got a couple of fun miniatures who know the value of looking good while searching for riches Beneath the Sands! Allow us to introduce ’em.

We’re continuing our 3D print spotlight rotation of scatter terrain and miniatures, as we ultimately need a fine collection of both to produce truly meaningful gameboards. Sometimes we run into trouble identifying the origins of some of our STLs because a 3D print can sit idle for 18+ months. Still, it’s amazing what eagle eyes some of our longtime readers have, so we expect others to solve today’s case.

DM Ben loves a DnD miniature in fancy garb as it reminds him of all those old Egyptian desert classic moves. Everyone is always decked out in such great threads. So, he asked our team to ensure he had some flamboyant miniatures at his disposal as a little nostalgia nod.

Our first miniature is from our prepainted library and comes from Wizards of the Coast. This mini is a Human Male Druid and comes from their Icon of the Realms premium painted series. This guy just screams desert adventurer to us, and it’s a given he’ll get a role as a prominent NPC. We’ll probably just superglue him to a clear base, as he’s a little topsy-turvy.

Our next desert-style 3D Print was surprisingly difficult to source. All our Google image searches just brought up wizards wearing red robes. Frustrating to say the least. We thought for sure he was from Loot Studios, but no one in their friendly Discord recognized him.

Regardless, this guy was way too good not to share today, though! Resident painter Kimmy Utah picked up a paintbrush for this one and just crushed it! How she gets all the tiny details just right is beyond us.

These two cavaliers could even be adversaries. Each vying for the same treasure and continuously screwing up the others’ well-laid plans! DM Ben enjoys creating two opposing factions and placing the party squarely in the middle of all that chaos. We’ll see where the dice take us, but expect to see a lot more of these two troublemakers.

Until next time!
