FAQ

Where is my order?
Rest assured, we are printing, cleaning up and shipping your order as fast as we can. Myth Forged is just the two of us (Sam and Steve) so sometimes in busier periods a bit of a queue can develop. Average dispatch time is 5 days but check the banner at the top of the site for accurate lead times.
 
What kind of glue should I use?
I use a gel super glue. We sell Loctite on the store as we know it works!
Poly/plastic cement will not work
 
What prep do I need to do for painting?
The miniatures should be ready for a priming coat, however I'd always recommend a quick wash with warm, soapy water. You can paint directly onto the mini, but I recommend priming.
 
Why have some of the miniatures come on supports?
I ship delicate or small things with the supports still attached. I've found that things get broken and/or lost if I don't. If you submerge them in hot warm for 15 seconds, most miniatures will peel off the supports really easily. Just go slowly and steadily.
 
My mini feels sticky/tacky to touch - what's going on?
Sometimes the combination of humidity and the packaging causes the washing solution to make the surface a little tacky. This can be solved with a wash in either isopolyl alcohol, or just hot soapy water. Leave to dry in the sun/warm dry place and they'll be fine.

Venture into the shadowy waters between worlds with the Punting Gondolier of the River Styx miniature, a unique addition to your Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder 2E, or Call of Cthulhu campaigns. This figure captures a singular, eerie moment on the boundary of the afterlife, portraying a skeletal gondolier, clad in the elegant yet haunting attire reminiscent of Venetian style, navigating his gondola across the Styx. The gondola, a vessel of passage for souls transitioning to the realm beyond, is beset by skeletons attempting to climb aboard, desperate for passage or escape from the eternal waters that bind them.

The sculpture of the Punting Gondolier of the River Styx is meticulously crafted to evoke both the beauty and the macabre of its setting. The gondolier stands poised with his punt, guiding the gondola with an otherworldly grace that belies the grim nature of his duty. The Venetian styling of his attire—perhaps once vibrant and luxurious, now rendered in ghostly hues—speaks of a life and culture long past, yet preserved in the liminal space of the Styx. The skeletons reaching for the gondola add a dynamic and poignant element to the scene, highlighting the relentless pull of fate and the river's cold embrace.

For miniature painting enthusiasts, the Punting Gondolier of the River Styx presents a captivating challenge. The contrast between the skeletal gondolier and his passengers against the dark waters of the Styx invites exploration with shades and highlights to create depth and a sense of movement. The Venetian styling of the gondolier's attire offers an opportunity to incorporate faded elegance through subtle color choices and detailing, capturing the remnants of a once vibrant identity. The gondola itself, a silent witness to countless crossings, can be painted to reflect its timeless journey through waters dark and deep.

Incorporating this Punting Gondolier of the River Styx into your TTRPG sessions introduces an element of mystery and reflection, bridging the worlds of the living and the dead. Whether as a spectral encounter that offers the players passage to forbidden realms, a somber reminder of the consequences of their actions, or a guardian of ancient secrets lying beyond the veil, this miniature enriches the narrative with its presence. It serves as a poignant symbol of transition and passage, inviting stories that explore the themes of fate, redemption, and the eternal cycle of life and death.
