Reaper Miniatures for my D&D Campaign

 

 

Reaper Miniatures: Skara, Female Skoli Hellborn Paladin/Fighter

 

 

 

One of my players has returned to Vancouver from overseas for the Holidays.  It was the first time in a year since she was back in Vancouver, and a year since she last played in our D&D campaign.  She was bringing a new character to the campaign: a Tiefling Fighter.

I let her know I would paint a miniature of her new character.  She gave me a physical description of her character.  At that time, I was working on another female Tiefling, to represent a reoccurring Non-Player Character (NPC) in the campaign.  The miniature I was using for the NPC was Reaper Bones S’Kara, Female Skoli Warrior.  I went to my local hobby store (Imperial Hobbies) to search for a miniature to use for my player’s new character, and came across S’Kara in metal.  Over Discord, I sent my player photos of the painting process of her new character.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As my painting progressed, I decided to paint the NPC Tiefling I was working on as an alternative colour scheme of her character (thus, she will have two version of her character: one in plastic and the other in metal).  The metal version has purple clothing with a gray flocked base, while the plastic version has red clothing with a green flocked base.

In addition to painting my player’s character, I have recently finished two more Reaper Miniatures: the Bronze Golem and Ziba, FemaleEfreeti.  Both miniatures are from the Bones Black line of high-quality plastic miniatures.  The bronze golem is sculpted by Chris Lewis and the female efreeti is sculpted by Bobby Jackson.

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 Ancient Greek Inspired Fountain makes a great terrain piece for urban combat encounters.

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.
