This week we have a 2 for 1 special.

Players of my Dragonlance campaigns may recognize the red Dragonnel (painted by me with acrylics) and a DragonArmy Rider (pre-painted)

These bestial dragon-kin serve as mounts for their riders, spreading the Will of Takhisis.

A bit late, but here we go again.

This week, from my Dragonlance pre-painted collection.

An Aurak Draconian. Like all Draconians they are the result of a Good dragon egg being corrupted. They have wings, unlike Dragonborn, but can only glide. Potent evil magic users.

Mini Monday!

This week, another classic, the Gelatinous Cube!

These blobs are often underestimated by low level adventurers. With their ability to engulf the unobservant and high damage, they are a deadly threat.

I love that the mini opens to hold engulfed players.😈

Late again this week.😭

Painted by me, with SpeedPaint.

One of the deadliest foes a party can face, these highly intelligent abominations are often found at the center of conspiracies, and have a vast array of beam weapons. Beware the Eye of the Beholder.

A bonus post to make up for missing last week.

My Umber Hulks. Often found in underground environments, these powerful creatures are cunning, armored, clawed, and have a powerful hypnotic gaze.

The darker one was painted by me, the lighter ones were prepainted.

My apologies for my absence, I've been fighting a nasty bug.

This week, a lovely shield-maiden from the Dwarven Kingdoms. This daughter of the mountain carries her clan's sigil with pride, standing fast in the face of goblin and beast.

Another Monday, Another Mini.

This week I have selected my Deva, painted by me using SpeedPaint.

Angelic servants of Good Deities.

Usually hiding as local mortals and barred from intervention, they can be summoned by some spells.

Powerful warriors & wise advisors.

This week, we're doing Multi-Minis.

I've selected my Githyanki war-band.

The crossbowman was pre-painted, but the others were done by me, using Speedpaint.

These smug, arrogant warriors look down on other races, and wage an eternal war of revenge on Mind-Flayers.

This week for Mini-Monday, I've selected something from my prepainted collection.

Once a Prince, he made a Pact with the Dark Powers for immortality.

Now cursed to live forever, trapped in a Demi-Plane called Barovia, the powerful Vampire Lord...

Mini-Monday is here!

Behold, my Spectators and their wee lil Gazer companions. Painted by me with SpeedPaint.

These lesser Beholder-kin are often found bound in service to magicusers, guarding secrets and treasures.

The eye-beams can bring a quick end to the unwary.

A marvelous Mini-Monday to all!

This week, from my pre-painted collection, I bring you my Drider.

These monstrosities begin life as Drow elves, but become horribly transformed. Usually as a punishment for failing a test set to them by the goddess Lolth.

Hugs anyone?

Mini-Monday!

This week, a classic : My Owlbear.

These ferocious wild predators are territorial and vicious when threatened or enraged, but surprisingly trainable and loyal companions, if one can get a cub to bond during infancy.

Painted by me, using Speedpaint.

This week for Mini-Monday....Wolves!

An assortment of shades and colors. Deadly on their own at early levels, and great pets/minions for BBEGs later on.

These were done by @mazikeen.bsky.social and myself in Acrylic.

Mini-Monday once again!

This week I selected my Were-Ravens. Humanoid and Transformed.

Usually of Good alignment, these lycanthropes are secretive, wary of outsiders, and collect baubles.

A group of Were-Ravens is called a Kindness.

Painted by me using Speedpaint

#DnD #D&D #DungeonsAndDragons

Two Were-Ravens, one Humanoid one bird form.

JP the GM @jpthegm.bsky.social · Jul 8

Mini-Monday once again!

I'm not sure what the original game/source for these puppers is. I fished them out of the used minis at Red Dragon (my LGS) and use them as undead Dire Wolves in Barovia.

Painted by me, using SpeedPaint & acrylic highlights. 2x3 inch base.

Another Mini-Monday is here. This week I present a prepainted figure.

The Giant King Cobra. Minthara included for scale.

Over 20 feet long, with deadly venom that can be spit a surprising distance and able to swallow adventurers whole.

No step on danger-noodle!

This week for Mini-Monday, we have a Bheur Hag miniature that I painted and use as a Green Hag. Painted by me, using SpeedPaint.

Sadistic magic users who rejoice in corrupting or destroying beauty, and eating children.

This week I bring you the Green Slaad. Cunning, intelligent and dangerous magic users. They've been known to slay unwary adventurers who underestimate them. Able to change their shape and appearance.

Painted by me, using SpeedPaint.

Bonus post :

A new campaign has started at Red Dragon Games, and we've welcomed some new players to our table. Thank you as always to the store for hosting us, and congratulations to Elarion (I hope I spelled that right) on your first natural 20 with us.

Another Mini-Monday is here. This week I present : a clear Allip mini which was painted using a mix of translucent red and clear/iridescent acrylic and is used as a Necrichor, among other things.

Painted by @mazikeen.bsky.social

Last night, we concluded our Spelljammer: Light of Xaryxis.

My thanks to all the players who shared that adventure with me, and I'll never forget the story of Boswell, Rishan, Haridan, Elzyre, Hreguth, Vidar, and all the guests

It was my pleasure and privilege.

Another Mini-Monday is upon us. This week, I've selected one of my Nothics, painted by me. One of my first, done with acrylics.

Be careful when seeking secret knowledge, lest you join him in service to The Whispered One.

Sorry for the late post again, but I have a good reason. Had to pickup my newest addition to the collection. Sort of the opposite of a mini. Anyways, meet Bha'b, aka Wiggles.

Many thanks to Red Dragon Games for everything!

Well, I missed it completely last week for Easter, and I'm late this week too, but here's this week's mini. One of my first I painted, classic Orc.
