I think the George R.R. Martin line from Darksword Miniatures has some fantastic miniatures for cityfolk of all ranks including this mini of Tywin Lannister. In our current Dungeons & Dragons campaign “Daisygate” he plays the part of a retired general who now acts as advisor and bodyguard to the ruler of the town.
I bought an awesome Cthulhu-esque monolith, but obviously you can’t have that without cultists to worship it so I also got this gang of masked cultists. Cultists worshipping their icon
I buy minis for what I need to play, but once in a while I pick something up just because it is cool, such as this Living Icon from Fenris Games. I decided to go all out on the living element of it and painted all eyes as natural eyes. To give them an additional […]
This miniature is a Nymph, but I think she doubles as a village / commonfolk girl. I speed painted her, but actually I’m really happy with the result.
This Chapter was back to old-school dungeon crawl, but I have to say most of our characters’ personalities and motives grew a lot in this game. Several times I had the pleasure of sitting back and watch the story unfold between the characters. Really enjoyed this game! Saving the Half-Fey The Nightshift have had a […]
We pick up the story after our heroes fled the Mindflayer and its army of mindless minions. This was second game running D&D remote. See my guide to how we run remote D&D with terrain and miniatures here. In the abandoned warehouse, the party discussed what to do with the Black Sapphire and decided to […]
I’ve mentioned this before, but Darksword Miniature’s Game of Thrones range is perfect for townsfolk and these two ladies are no different.
At the time of writing this, UK is in lockdown due to the Corana virus. This means that A) we can no longer get together for Dungeons & Dragons and B) we now have enough time to increase the frequency of D&D games! Given I’m an old-school D&D hobbyist, playing online with Roll20 etc has […]
These minis are just great! Really love the Satyr with the bow. Otherworld Miniatures is quickly becoming on of my favourite shops up there with Darksword Miniatures. Was fun to paint too. I tried to give each Satyr a unique skin and fur colour.
I’ve been planning on taking a Short Rest from DMing after running regular games since beginning of 2018 and some of my players have stepped up to DM. Unfortunately we have been hit by the Corona virus lockdown so we’ve had to migrate online for playing and I don’t want put this on my players […]
This is the second Daisy Guard team following the crossbow armed unit. When I saw these I thought they were perfect, but frankly if I had known how long they would take to arrive, I would have found an alternative. Having said that, the minis definitely didn’t disappoint. They are very cool, very diverse and […]
I found these funky tentacles at a Tiger store in London and thought they would be great for tentacles in D&D. I posted it on Twitter and somebody pointed me to this great video on how to make the tentacles. The one thing I would say is: Be careful with the stuff he is fulling […]
