r/DnDminiatures

Most miniature collections are built around heroes, monsters, and enemies, but the figures I keep wanting more of are the ones that sit between those things. The odd locals, travelers, performers, merchants, guards, unlucky people, and strange little scenes that make the world feel like it was already moving before the party showed up.

Not every mini needs to represent a fight. Sometimes a figure at a table, someone hauling goods, someone causing a scene, or a strange character standing off to the side can give players something to react to immediately. It makes the setting feel less like a backdrop and more like an actual place.

Do you put non-combat NPCs on the table often, or do you usually save minis for encounters and battles?

I'm hitting a mental roadblock trying to figure out what to do with the axe to really make it stand out/elevate the miniature. I'm new to painting and don't really have a great intuitive feel for this kind of thing. (By the way the model was printed on a P2S so I had to work with the layer lines.

Fluorescents are some of my favorite things to use, and I'm always happy when I get to use them their maximum effect!

Here's the Quacken, a silly patron request I got a while back now printed by one of my patrons.

I love seeing my works like this. Anyway that's all for now. Enjoy :)

"Dans les ténèbres de Ravenloft, mon génie me murmure la voie"

Premier travail en OSL pour le personnage d'un copain. La mini se prêtait bien au jeu.

She's super talented but very modest about her skills. I wanted to post them for the world to see. She has no idea I'm posting them here.

Picked up this at an lgs because it looked cool. Not sure what the weapon is though.

This is the first time I paint a miniature of this size. Inspiration drawn from dukes_paint_art in Instagram. Solely used speedpaints and a wash in the end.

I got this fella in the mail today. It's a mini for my daughter's first character.

And to my great surprise, the sword is... floppy. O.o It's resin, but it bends and it moves and doesn't break. The caveat is it's also crooked as hell. I don't wanna mess with it too much for risk of *actually* breaking it. Is there a way to straighten this sucker out?
