Dungeon & Dragon Miniatures: Board Game Miniatures Part 3

 

 

Board Game Miniatures

 

My previous posts featured board game miniatures I painted for my D&D games.  Since my last post, I painted some more board game miniatures.  Many board game manufacturers produce high-quality 28/32 mm scale miniatures, providing excellent options for finding affordable and durable miniatures for the tabletop.  eBay is an excellent source for finding these miniatures.

 

 

 

 

 

Fireteam Zero Large Undead: Unpainted

The above miniatures are from the Fireteam Zero board game, and could represent Minotaur Skeletons, Ogre Zombies, and other large-size undead humanoids on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

Cthulhu Human Cultists: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

 

Cthulhu Human Cultists: Painted

 

The human cultists are from the Cthulhu Wars board game.  These miniatures have a generic cultist-look, making them ideal for representing dark cultists and other nefarious rank-and-file spellcasters on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

Ankh Warriors: Unpainted

The above Ancient Egypt inspired fantasy miniatures are from the Ankh Gods of Egypt board game. 

 

 

 

 

Dual Wielding Warriors: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Dual Wielding Warriors: Painted

 

I am not exactly sure which board game the dual-wielding human warriors are from.  The aesthetics of these miniatures are of an ancient world look (i.e. the Spartan warriors of Ancient Greece).

 

 

 

 

 

Zombicide Ghosts: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Zombicide Ghosts: Painted

 

The above miniatures are ghosts from the Zombicide Board Game.  These miniatures could be used to represent various spectral undead (i.e. shades, wraiths, etc.) on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

Call of Cthulhu: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Call of Cthulhu: Painted

 

This miniature is from the Call of Cthulhu board game and could represent an avatar of an evil god on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

Headless Undead: Unpainted

 

 

 

Headless Undead: Painted

 

I am not sure which board game the headless undead are from.  I like the creativity that went into the concept of undead carrying their severed heads into battle.  This miniature has an ‘Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman’ vibe.

Dungeon & Dragon Miniatures: Board Game Miniatures Part 2

 

 

Board Game Miniatures

 

 

My previous post featured board game miniatures I painted for my Dungeon and Dragon games.  Since publishing this post, I painted some more board game miniatures.  As a Dungeon Master, I look for affordable, durable, and detailed miniatures to represent the characters, monsters, and NPCs on the tabletop. Many board games include high-quality 28/32 mm scale miniatures that fits this criteria.  eBay has become a valuable source for finding such miniatures.

 

 

 

 

Cthulhu Wars: Large Monsters Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Cthulhu Wars: Large Monsters Unpainted

 

 

The above two monsters are from the Cthulhu Wars board game and could be used to represent large-size aberrations and other horrors on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

Flaming Skeleton: Original Base (40 mm)

 

 

 

 

Flaming Skeleton: Modified Base (25 mm)

 

 

 

 

Flaming Skeleton: Painted

 

 

The Flaming Skeletons are from the Fireteam Zero board game.  The miniatures originally came with a 40 mm base.  I replaced the original base with a smaller 25 mm base.  These miniatures could be used to represent Flame Skulls, Fire Mephits, ‘Burning’ markers, etc., on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

Undead skeleton-spider hybrid and dwarf barbarian: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

 

Undead skeleton-spider hybrid and dwarf barbarian: Painted

 

 

The above miniatures are from the Age of Darkness board game.  I love the originality of these miniatures.  The human-spider skeleton hybrid could represent various fiends or undead horrors on the tabletop; the dwarven barbarian wearing the kilt is a classic. 

 

 

 

 

Dual-wielding Rogue: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Dual-wielding Rogue: Painted

 

 

 

I am not sure which board game the above miniatures are from.  The dynamic styling of the flowing cape, and dual-wielding short swords makes these miniatures ideal for Spies, Assassins, and other such rogue-type builds on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

Zombicide Male Ghosts: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Zombicide Male Ghosts: Painted

 

 

 

 

Zombicide Female Ghosts: Unpainted

CMON has a massive range of high-quality miniatures for their Zombicide line of board games.  The above miniatures are from the Zombicide range and could represent various incorporeal undead on the tabletop.
