Wizkids Unpainted Huge Size Miniatures: Part 1

 

 

Wizkids Unpainted Miniatures

 

 

As a Dungeon Master, I love bringing miniatures to the tabletop to visually represent the game world.  Adding large miniatures, towering over the other 28mm miniatures on the table, adds a level of excitement to the game.  Wizkids Unpainted produces a large selection of ‘huge size’ miniatures at affordable prices.  Below are some of the large Wizkids miniatures I painted.

The Nightwalker is a monster featured in one of the supplement 5e books.  This ‘huge size’ miniature could represent a variety of demon lords on the tabletop.

Red Dragon.  The iconic Dungeons & Dragons monster, the Red Dragon is featured on the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Rule box set.  Label the ‘Young Red Dragon’ on the package, this miniature take up a 3” x 3” footprint, making it an ideal representation of the Adult Red Dragon on the tabletop.

Dungeon & Dragon Miniatures: Board Game Miniatures Part 5

 

 

Board Game Miniatures

 

As a Dungeon Master, I love using miniatures in my games to represent the monsters and NPCs my players encounter through the course of the adventure.  Finding miniatures that are durable, highly detailed, and affordable are key.  Late last year, I discovered that eBay sells a huge assortment of board game miniatures that fits this criteria.  In my previous posts, I showcased board game miniatures I painted.  I recently painted some more board game miniatures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Armoured Skeletons: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Armoured Skeletons: Painted

 

I am not sure which board game the armour skeletons are from.  These miniature could represent both low-level skeletons and more elite skeletons warriors on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

 

Bobcats: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Bobcats: Painted

 

These miniatures are from the Altar Quest board game and could represent various species of large cats (i.e. panthers, lions, pumas) on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

 

Dogs: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Dogs: Painted

 

I painted these miniatures in the colours of the Doberman breed of dogs; these miniatures could represent war dogs or canine animal companions on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

 

Dwarf Highlanders: Unpainted

Dwarf Highlanders: Previous Painted Highlanders included

 

I love the concept of dwarf warriors in kilts.  The spiked haircut (mohawk) is reminiscent of the old Games Workshop Dwarf Slayers.

 

 

 

 

 

Mechanical Snake: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Mechanical Snake: Painted

 

The mechanical giant snake is from the Lords of Hellas board game.  This miniature could be used as a proxy for a giant snake or naga on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

 

Minotaur: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Minotaur: Painted

 

Minotaurs are classic monsters: A single minotaur could represent a powerful adversary for a low-level adventuring party, or rank-and-file brutes for a veteran band of adventurers.

 

 

 

 

 

Dead Men Tell No Tales: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Dead Men Tell No Tales: Painted

 

The pirates are from the ‘Dead Men Tell No Tales’ board game.  The proportions of these miniatures are a ‘true scale’ (vs heroic scale), giving them more a realistic look on the tabletop.

 

 

 

 

 

Twisted Faery: Unpainted

 

 

 

 

Twisted Faery: Painted

 

The twisted faery has a unique sculpt.  The faery appears to be in a state of sorrow, with multiple limbs (likely from other faeries) extending from her clothing.

 

 

 

 

 

Large Undead: Unpainted

Large Undead

 

The large undead are from the ‘Fire Team Zero’ board game.  I previously painted a pair of these figures.  These miniatures make excellent proxies for Ogre Zombies, Minotaur Skeletons, and other large-size undead humanoids on the tabletop.
