We're learning about the pros and cons of different kinds of models by making the same miniature in all 4 of the ways in which minis can be made! The four broad categories of miniatures are metal, 3D printed, 2-part resin, and thermoplastic injection molding. Thermoplastic injection molding includes siocast (polyamide), polystyrene, and PVC.

Trenchworx uses all four of these techniques daily. They make models for a broad range of clients, and they pick whichever material best fits the job. Casey from eBay Miniature Rescues and myself spent 2 days hanging out and making minis! Big thanks to Casey and the whole crew at Trenchworx for such a fun and educational experience. :-)
disclosure: Casey and I are buddies with the owner of Trenchworx, and we wish them successful in their ventures. This video is not sponsored. We paid Trenchworx to make us some goblins, and then we drove out to film it! ;-)

![Full Custom Minis for Your Party? Heroforge Review for Dungeons and Dragons 2022
Do custom minis have souls? Or are they just hollow-eyed store mannequins? I designed and painted a ton of Heroforge minis for our D&D party to figure this out! We’ve got a ranger, a sorcerer, a rogue, and a barbarian, all with different poses and costume swaps. In this review I did the printing myself, and I tried the models at different scales.
Learn more about our party by listening to the Twenty Sided Realms Podcast. This is a great listen while you’re painting… or while you’re messing around in a character builder! :-) Available wherever you normally get podcasts!

Season 3 is a fresh campaign set in Waterdeep. We cap things at ~PG-13.
[Seasons 1 and 2 are a slightly different cast, are set in the Underdark, and are rated ~R.]
Try the Heroforge designer and see if you can come up with some fun characters!

Most figures were printed on an Elegoo Mars with Zmud resin (both of which were provided free-of-charge to Goobertown Hobbies for testing purposes). Full Custom Minis for Your Party? Heroforge Review for Dungeons and Dragons 2022](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wvYdpesn_zc/mqdefault.jpg)
