The theme for this month's HOARD is Desert Outpost This can be any sort of miniature figure or model on the above theme or feel free to submit miniatures off theme. If you submit a figure, they must include both front and rear art, have a proper trimming outline, and include instructions for multi-part models. Recolors and figure mods are encouraged, and even uncolored designs are welcome. No nudity or sexuality, but bloody gory and horrifying is encouraged. If you have questions about how to design your entries, like formats, resolution, and stuff like that, see the HOARD GUIDELINES in this forum category. Entries for the Hoard will be accepted until the last day of May, 2022. Historical, Pseudo-historical, Apocalyptic or even a Desert Planet. Lots of possibilities. Have fun!

Airfix (or Italeri?) made some kind of desert ruins or desert outpost an age ago, I'll see if I can do something like that.

Found it, Airfix Desert Outpost; Although it doesn't look like the garrison has done much to maintain this outpost. I'll call mine "Derelict Desert Outpost"

I like them, the textures are a soft stgyle, but I think they would really complement the work of Jess Jennings.

Be honest with me @vermin King, old squirmydad, are the 2d terrain standees cheesy or should I make more? More!!! Yes, I like models, but unless you are in that theme for a long time, is it really worthwhile time-wise and space-wise to have a full 3d model? 2D is a lot more appropriate for many gaming episodes, especially if you aren't staying in the same place for four or five sessions.

Be honest with me @vermin King, old squirmydad , are the 2d terrain standees cheesy or should I make more? Back when I was running RPGs a lot, I used a lot of 2D stuff. I keep all the files in case I have a chance again. Yours are a very welcome addition!

I heartily agree. I have enough minis and such to store, 3D printed stuff just takes up space unless its used a lot.

Apparently I have acquired new gimp skills in the past month (aside from my previous cut, paste, import, export as ect...). That being said, here is my first forum hoard entry, and third contribution in general (fourth counting the tile set, although that seems more like macaroni art left too long on someone's fridge at this point). The Outpost. The whole thing is on a 6x6 footprint, 4" to the platform, another 2"to the top of the building, and 1" guard walls. Here are the cutfiles and jpgs. www.dropbox.com/sh/dl6fhwhvvcod5vr/AACiDyUwNcAmEQd9-Lilprwia?dl=0The cutfiles have the image to eliminate the need to merge. This was something I had no idea how to pull off. Well... I guess I showed me (grumble, grumble ...tell me what I can't do.., grumble). I know it's amateur (which I am), but it builds relatively easily, and I think it looks cool on my board. As you can tell from the pics the building has an interior, and the whole thing breaks down for storage. I have intentions to make some props to accompany this model. When and if I do, I will add them. Thanks to everybody who post stuff here for giving me the inkling to do this. As an after thought it occurs to me that this model would probably work in a forest, jungle, swamp, or even a deep water setting(perhaps as an ocean platform that gives access to an underwater base).

Very nice work, sir. You have done something I struggle with, merging cylinders with boxes. Nicely done

I was hoping to do more than this but I got sidetracked. Here's some more terrain. Hope everyone is doing well!
