I got into DnD just before the pandemic, which was lucky because playing remotely was definitely one of the things that kept us sane! Part way through, we all made up our characters on HF and I was delighted at the massive range of customization available. I'm really picky in design, and rarely find off-the-shelf stuff that makes me happy. Now, most of our party has custom minis from HF, and it adds so much to our game! You can add little details (like glow-in-the-dark paint) on arrival, but the quality of print is amazing just as it is. So cool what printers can do these days! Thanks HF! We just started a new campaign, and I can't wait to make my new character.

The mini figure creation process is amazing! My party had a blast tweaking our models to match our imagination of our characters, and then we were all really impressed with the full color prints! For a long campaign, having “correct” minis made a world of difference to how immersive combat felt.

Excellent quality miniatures! It’s so cool that I can custom make all of my D&D characters and the added color printing option is so easy to use. Great customer service and fast shipping. I definitely recommend them to all my friends.

I have an Elegoo Mars Pro 2 resin printer and I thought it was high time to start using it for TTRPG minis. I had a bit of trepidation having had some issues with stock minis in the past. Despite the reservations, I set out to create the PC party and put maybe up to an hour into each design (there's so many options and I wanted to get it as right as possible). I more or less ignored any sense of printability in my design process and just went for what I wanted characters to look like. They worked out really well on-screen and screenshots were taken for character sheets and so on. I then embarked on grabbing STL file with rather more trepidation. $7.99 per file is not an unreasonable price - not the sort I'd pay for Goblin Warrior #4 but well worth it for PCs. The files were quick to arrive (a few minutes at most) and very detailed. I created supports, sliced, checked, created supports, sliced... etc around the usual iterations and eventually threw them at the printer. The results were so much better than I expected them to be - a real vindication of the service and the process and the effort. Seriously - 5/5

I made miniature for my D&D game and there was a mix up on my end. I accidentally purchased an stl with $$ and not with my credits. I contacted customer support and they were AMAZING. They were fast to respond and got the situation solved. They refunded my $$ and redacted 1 credit from my account. The miniature creation tool is fantastic and is very very easy to create whatever you’re looking for. The prices are very reasonable. The coloring options are fantastic as well. I haven’t seen any other miniature creation tool this great ever. HeroForge is amazing and I’ll be purchasing from them more in the times to come.

Love love love this site. The customization is what I’ve been looking for forever. It comes at a price but I’m willing to pay (for now). They also give the option to download the 3D print file which made me grab a 3D printer.

I have bought three miniatures from Hero Forge lately and am very impressed. They aren't perfect but I'll be surprised if I buy a mass produced one again. The first I bought was their premium Bronze figure. All I can say is that it is beautiful and I got many a gasp of admiration from the team. Saying that, the person who packed the model let the side down as it did not have enough padding and the sword arrived with a distinct bend. This was easily fixed but I was worried I would break it while doing so. I have also bought a steel figure of my character on a horse. The resolution is noticeably rougher but I am hoping some body putty (the grey coating) and care in painting will hide the layers. It also has a distinct preference for surface rusting but the body putty has stopped this on the areas it has been applied. On the other hand, I could throw this at a Hob Goblin and the Hob Gob would lose. It is solid as a rock and I love the weight of it. Considering the cheaper price and more rugged construction, I am happy to have to work a little harder to get the painting perfected. The last one I got was their colour plastic. This feels like a model you would buy from a shop and doesn't have the weight of the metal models BUT it is still pretty good. It is very flexible and no parts were bent in transit and it has withstood a couple of games. I do keep all the models very well padded in storage boxes and it is lasting just fine. While I may be able to paint a model better than this eventually (and I am saying months or years rather than weeks) it is great to get this in colour out of the box. It is pretty good and I reckon I can get future ones better if I spend more time choosing colours during the ordering stage. The biggest let-down was UPS taking so long to deliver. It is 2020 and all flights to Australia were affected so there's little that Hero Forge could do about the REALLY SLOW delivery. The bright side was that a person from the Hero Forge support team did answer all emails and that was a nice surprise. All in all, I think these are great models at a good price. Definitely more expensive then buying from a shop but they are my character doing and wearing exactly what my character does. I am very happy with the purchases
