Articles to print in 3D - Lizardmen / Seraphon

Would make for an interesting Gor Rok to if you have just one of the guys. Still hoping someone transfers the TW:WH2 textured and posed model to an stl though :3

 

Alrighty guys, my new Dread Saurian proxy is complete! Behold, the Stone Saurian! He is available on my Cults page! The accessories (adapted from Daelis Kroak Model with some kitbashing) are not part of the paid model.

I am also working on a killer Arcanadon model! Stay tuned for that to drop as well! It will be most likely be made available for free.




p.s. I most definitely wont be posting this anywhere for download, but I am also working on an adaptation of Daelis' Kroak model i call "Young Kroak"



Should I give him a 6-pack?

 

Its been a long time since we talked about saurus warriors models but i dont know if any of us has developed someting new.

I saw here some models that are quite similars but have like an Iguana head. I dont know enough to change this head with any software or leave them headless to use the original ones. If someone colud I would appreciate it!

The TW2 models dont know if someone finally achieved some final model. It will be great to know about it.

As always, thank you for your time!

 

Replacing heads on 3D models is actually pretty simple. I use Meshmixer for that kind of thing.

 

Alright guys, I am honestly shocked that I am the first to make this model (as far as I can tell). I have finished my Arcanadon!
Its pretty badass if i do say so myself.
I have called it the Arcanosaurus for IP reasons.

You can get it here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/arcanosaur

It was a really fun sculpt!

Let me know what you think!

 

I share my feedback:

I like it, although I think the rays mess up the gyroscope's view a bit. As they are right now (inside the gyroscope).

Perhaps the rays could be under the gyroscope coming out of the cylindrical base on which the gyroscope now rests, giving a result that the gyroscope floats in the air unlike the original model that we all know.

You could also make a row of triangles on the rectangular platform.
Maybe this one could help you if you squish it and stretch it a little so that it is the same size and height as yours.

The curves that lean on the beast and support the howdah, you could make a zigzag so it looks like the designs on the Ark of Sotek:
This is achieved with Boolean differences.

I think with that, and a couple of textures on the animal and some ornaments like these:

And you have it ready.

 

I did include the gyro without the lightning, if that is your thing. Personally I think the engine from the Amazon release from Titan Forge looks really good and could also be used.



I tried to stay close to the source material in terms of ornament, without all tags and such like the carnosaur kit has. You could always add them, I always seem to have lots leftover.

 

Honestly my biggest complaint would be one that applies to a lot of big creatures with attachments in that the harness looks insufficient to actually provide a hold and perhaps lacks padding in key areas to avoid the rope sawing through scales as it moves and the structure atop digging in. Considering that its stone not light wood I'd have thought they'd need thick bundles of cloth under the contact point with the scales coupled with perhaps slightly more straps securing things in place.

Eg you've one strap going around the tail but you've no belt on the tail itself to prevent that strap simply sliding forward and ending up loose as it moves.

 

July Patreon from Lord of the Print, Dynotopia

Lord of the Print is a well known miniature maker who releases his products monthly on his patreon and also has them available on his myminifactory page. If you pledge for July you will get the files for the above dinosaurs and riders. I quite like the style of his models, but only dip in occasional should the month theme suit me.

 

You know I think you make a valid point. Your criticism of the typical style makes sense. I think the general idea when people make these things is to have it appear "primitive" or at least simple. You can see in the Titan Forge model above that it similarly is a single rope around the middle with no padding.
I've never seen personally one with padding before the LotP ones just above, but adding a few more straps might be in order. (If you wanna get picky, i think the spikes might help hold the engine in place, but hey).
The original model had some ropes going around the shoulders/hips. I might try to add some of those.

 

Honestly, looks very nice. More than criticism, they were advice to achieve a much better design. Like when I wrote it to you, I hadn't realized that you had already published it, I thought it was a work in progress.

 

Is anything ever really "finished"?

 

You make a good point about primitive designs or designs that are not well thought out. Nothing says that lizardmen "have" to be modern in their attitude toward their mounts and beasts of war. There are many people today who use poorly thought out/badly designed or just outright abusive designs in harness and straps. Things that might look ok at a distance until you get up close and see sores and welts and other damage.

Things that in models you won't typically see unless its something for Chaos in GW or for Skorne in Hordes


Spikes holding things makes sense for me up to a point. I think its a scale and weight thing. See spikes might be part of the skin or part of the skeletal structure. In both cases they'd be different; those part of the skin might have decent hold, but are going to flex and move and any pressure on them might cause them to warp or bend or adjust. Meanwhile those which are part of the skeleton might have greater hold, but at the same time might have a greater degree of flex and motion when the animal moves (those on the skin will also move but might have more scope to not move if bound in the right way).


I think for me the greater thing is seeing things which look like they'd cause sores or damage fast where there isn't any. Things like straps going around the belly and near to the thinner skin near the hind legs where they connect with the body - ergo an area with a lot of motion and rubbing

In the end its all different perceptions and ideas and concepts. It might well be the scale is so much tougher than it resists the rubbing and abrasion; that the spines have enough hold; that the animals gait is less jolting and trained to be smoother etc... There's a lot of factors that come into play.

Plus its also a level of detail many won't notice - just like many won't notice issues when armour hasn't got a thick padding underneath it or the stance isn't one you'd have when fighting with a sword; or such. I think STLs can make some more sensitive to this micro level of detail because you can get in close and zoom around the model and see that a bit of armour hasn't got a buckle or strap under the arm where in a model you'd never really notice that because you'd never really see it on a 28mm model etc....

 

Seems like OnePageRules is making some changes to a few of their Lizardmen releases. If you want the models as they are now I suggest purchasing and downloading them asap. I am stoked to see what changes they have in mind

Weird, I couldn't find the monthly releases that these models were included in directly from their store page. I had to search for Saurians in the MMF searchbar to get to them - it's Release #1 & #2. Gotta make sure I have all these downloaded tonight!

Curious if their current weapons/designs are too close to their original inspiration and OPR was asked to change them because of this?...might also explain why it's not visible on their storefront and hidden behind a search and whatnot?

 

Those links are also hidden it seems?
And yes from what I've seen GW's attitude toward 3D printers is to issue a copyright claim, but to also give them the option to rework designs for approval. Of course sometimes the work required is too great that its not worth the designers time so those models are lost. I think GW are being sensible with 3D printing - they are protecting their IP/Copyright/Trademark, but also doing so in a way that leaves an avenue for the 3D print market to exist and not be persecuted. I think whatever the gains or losses, GW has learned and improved since the "Chapterhouse" court case era.

 

Ah, I just noticed the little LOCK symbol next to the set names on MMF and since I'm logged in and was a patron for them, they show up for me. My bad gang! Guess it is only currently available for those who already had the set unlocked until they get re-sculpted.

 

Whoever downloaded it, could upload them here with a Wetransfer? so we have one more week to download it

Quien lo haya descargado, ¿podría subirlo aquí con Wetransfer? así que tenemos una semana más para descargarlo

 

Here is a modular kit of Warriors:

Whoa...those are fantastic! Thanks for the share!

...and yet another gumroad creator to add to my collection, haha!
