Tomb Thursday P35: Stone Shapes

Greetings, sand dollar hunters! We’re pivoting back to some new trusty stone terrain today, and we think you’ll be down to try these DnD STLs too! Let’s hop to it!

We’ve really taken a terrain approach of less is not more, and a significant number of starting desert terrain options is imperative to ensure we don’t stifle DM Ben’s gameboard creativity. Hence, we continue to target 3D prints that can be used in a variety of scenarios and have a long track life.

Tomb entrances, in particular, are quite important, as there will be numerous mysterious resting places to explore (rather than one huge underground lair). Pharaohs not only had a place for their royal family, but there were smaller pyramids for their closest advisors, spiritual leaders, and even their builders. So today’s featured prints will be quite useful.

Let’s start with this TTRPG ruins scatter terrain piece by Loot Studios. This mysterious stack of stonecold bricks is from their amazing Buried Tomb set (one of our favs). We love all the tiny details here, including the hieroglyphs, torches, spider webs, and sandy base.

DM Ben messed around with this stack of stones and really went back and forth on which of our sandy paint schemes to use. He landed on the lighter interior-tile version, as he felt this DnD STL felt more like transition terrain than any sort of grand entrance. He used ASP Holy White for the cobwebs and then decided to put down a little sand flock to give it more of that ruins look.

From that very same Buried Tomb set, we also 3D-printed this hieroglyphic tablet. This is another subtle yet very useful scatter terrain piece because, of course, there are going to be several stone tablets in our tombs! Loot Studios did more of those charming spider webs and gave this one a nice sandy-style base, too!

DM Ben painted this one at lightning speed! He’s really grown attached to that Green Stuff World Tropical Turquoise color. We gave that bottle a go while making those tomb torches earlier, and that soothing teal has really stuck with us. He was also keen to make this one look rather weathered since some spiders are hanging out on it.

Lastly, we’re sneaking one more 3D print here, but this one was a little too generic to find the source. Still, we like including this one in our Egyptian pile because it bucks the traditional desert sand statue trend. DM Ben loves to drop something in an encounter that doesn’t normally belong. Like, who is this mystery woman, and why was she idolized like so? Juicy questions to say the least.

Until next time.
