You can never have too much loot... And that's why you can also never have too many loot piles. These piles are very versatile and can be used just about anywhere in the dungeon, they can be used to store/hide loot (well, they áre called loot piles for a reason) and serve as cover during sneaking or combat. If all else fails they just look good...
 |
| This is an overview of my current set of loot piles... |
These loot piles originally started out as barricades for Mordheim, but a year or so ago I updated and repainted them to enhance my dungeon. The base of each of these piles is a stack of home-cast plaster crates, the smaller and more detailed pieces are a mix of plaster, metal, plastic and resin parts.
Having a 3D-printer opens up a lot of possibilities and the last couple of days I have spent some time putting together and printing a couple of complete loot piles and some separate pieces to further enhance the excisting loot piles.

The first two, relatively simple, loot piles...
These were printed as one piece. |
 |
| The third pile, also printed as a single piece... |
For the third pile I wanted to try something a bit different. I searched, and found, a chicken and a birdcage.
 |
| The cage was printed separately, mainly for ease of painting... |
On Thingiverse there are a lot of interesting and usefull pieces that can be used for this purpose. Most of the new pieces are designed by a
very friendly designer from France. He designed the wicker baskets with tomatoes and apples, the bottles with a wicker shell, the bag of potatoes and the sacks... The wooden crates were found elsewhere on Thingiverse.

Three 3D-printed loot piles mixed with some of the models
from my collection... |
 |
| The separate pieces... The detail of these items is amazing! |
 |
The printed pieces used on a couple of existing loot piles...
The size of these bits is just right! |
This is just the first addition to the loot piles, I can imagine there will be more to come!
