Work in Progress Wednesday: Wizkid's D&D and Pathfinder Miniatures

 

After painting the Gnome Bard, I decided to pick up a few more miniatures from the Wizkids range.

This is the blister of Kobold specialists - one with a dragonscale shield, one with wings and a spell effect, and a Kobold Inventor. I discovered this moderately comedic D&D Monster class, armed with an assortment of rubbish but annoying weapons, such as a scorpion tied to a stick, bag of wasps, and so on. How could I not?

I learned about this from a very short cameo character on Critical Role, best summarised by this short animation for those who don't know of the story of "Spurt the Kobold".

I also picked up a few human guards, although the spears and halberds do suffer from the weakness of this sort of soft plastic. Some are rather bendy, but it's not exactly a display piece so I'm not too worried.

They're all pretty reasonably priced, so I'm not unhappy with the quality. I'm not a fan of the bases they come with, though, so glued them to some spare Infinity bases I had lying around and added some basing texture.

Some of the higher level threats also get characters, like this devil and cultist. I mostly got this for the devil figure, although it doesn't look like any of the specific devils in the current edition of D&D, I feel like they're quite varied so that's not a huge issue.

I'm super excited by the background of the Znir Pact Gnolls in the Eberron setting, so I had to grab a couple of them as well. I cut off, pinned and re-glued the spear of the left hand one in an effort to make it slightly straighter, but was lazy and didn't make guide markings and ended up gluing it back on off kilter. My sloppy green stuff fix to that didn't work either and I decided to just call it a day before I made it even worse.
