Board Game Miniatures
As a Dungeon Master, having a huge collection of miniatures to represent the monsters and NPCs my players will encounter is an important aspect of being a DM for me. Having miniatures that are durable are vital due to the frequent handling of the miniatures on the tabletop (i.e. metal and hard plastics tend to break easily). Affordability is another important consideration when adding miniatures to my collection. Several board games include high-quality 28mm/32mm heroic scale miniatures. eBay is an excellent resource for finding affordable board game miniatures.
Giant Grub: Unpainted Miniature
Finished Giant Grub: Front and Back View
Finished Giant Grub: Side Views
The Giant Grub is from the Cthulhu Wars boardgame. This is a fearsome monster taking up a 2” (50mm) square footprint and the table; this miniature could easily represent various large-sized horrors my players will encounter on the table.

Both Groups of Painted ‘Fatties’
The bulky zombies are ‘Fatties’ from the Zombicide board game and were sold in a collection of 5. This is the second group of ‘Fatties’ I recently painted and could represent ghouls or ghasts on the tabletop.
Unpainted Generic Aliens
Painted Generic Aliens
The generic aliens are from the Zombicide board game, representing ‘walkers’ (rank-in-file zombies) in the sci-fi iteration of the game these miniatures are from. These miniatures have an aquatic 1950s monster movie look and could represent Sahuagin or other such aquatic monsters on the tabletop.

The Rise of Moloch miniatures and Wizkids’ Carrionettes
These miniatures are a ‘Jack-n-the-box’ type monster wielding scissors. The miniatures are the Rise of Moloch board game. These were fun miniatures to paint and could represents Carrionettes (magical dolls/toys) on the tabletop.

These miniatures are female rogues from the Gloomhaven board game and could represent thugs, spies, assassins, and other such D&D monster-builds on the tabletop.
