Printed on a Mars 3 Pro 4K, painted with Army painter Speedpaints 2.0

Our groups DM made me paint half a demon army for our current campaign. I'll probably post another one or two of the minis I painted for that.

I'm very open to suggestions and tips to improve.

These are very light and brittle. They shatter if dropped on hard surfaces from anything above table height. I haven't heard of people adding weights to make them heavier. If anything, they add magnets for use on magnetized battle maps/-grids.

Is there a reason for using a light, brittle plastic over a more sturdy type? Maybe lighter allows for more articulation, perhaps?

There are more expensive resins available that are a little more sturdy, but overall I think it's just because this is a completely different material from molded plastic. It's a liquid that's hardened with UV light.
