This one has pretty decent prices, but check around... randomly found a few cheaper on Amazon by a bookstore (Bear Notch Books) by luck... and of course Troll and Toad, and of course Ebay (Ebay ppl aren't cheap ususally):

... and Dear Lord, thanks for this nefferpainting blogspot to remind me that I DO have the following minis (do not buy more!!!):

Otyugh (can't believe I got the spelling right first try. And man they are bigger than I thought. Hey, do I have a rust monster unpainted somewhere? Time to check.)

  • More Orcs
  • Guys in creepy hoods with knives
  • Gibbering mouther (more than one??)


OK yeah, The Legend of Drizzt unpainted minis from that set have:

  • Yochlol [Man, I thought that was a roper for a second, right after I bought a replacement for the one the wife tossed... thanks Babe ;-)  ]
  • Drow wand mage
  • Artemis and Jarlaxle and Drizzt of course
  • Drow, others.
  • Cursed Spirit (WhoopS! Just bought one... although they call them something else here)
  • Goblins, lots
  • Shadow Dragon (is that the old Deep Dragon? Looks different in the pict. Checked, yeah different.)
  • Duerga

A pict of Nefferpainting's nice work:


And from this site,  you can see a million different paintings of the Wrath of Ashardalon set:

Including this orc, which obviously got inspiration from Lord of the Rings movies, right?! The main Uruk Hai orc guy with the super big bow/arrow who shot and helped kill Sean Bean the cool Irish actor from LOTR and Game of Thrones.




Elemental Temple of Evil Board game (much harder to find painted stuff on searches). While I'm listing stuff, my favorite thing apparently, I'm copying from a nice person on amazon who pasted this for the info:

"There are quite a few minis in this set there are 5 heros, 4 zombies, 4 gouls, 1 flesh Golan, 2 undead dragons, 3 skeletons, 3 blazing skeletons and many types of spiders bats and vampres including some wharewolves
By Drew on May 13, 2016
There are 42 miniatures in this set, with a total of 22 different models, and 20 duplicates. I divide the models into 3 categories: Humanoids, Elementals, and the Dragon.
There are 33 Humanoids, these include:
* 5 Heros: All different models: 1 Human Male Lumberjack, 1 Human Female Archer, 1 Halfling Female Knife-Wielder, 1 Dwarf Female Hammer-Wielder, 1 Elf Female Fire-Wielder
* 12 Human Cultists: 4 different models (to represent the 4 elements) with 3 of each model, each being medium in size (1" base)
* 3 Bugbears (Bear-like Goblins): All the same model, being medium in size (1" base)
* 3 Doppelgangers: All the same model, being medium in size (1" base)
* 3 Gnolls (Tall Hyena-men): All the same model, being medium in size (1" base)
* 3 Hobgoblins (Bigger Goblins): All the same model, being medium in size (1" base)
* 3 Troglodytes (Short Lizard-men): All the same model, being medium in size (1" base)
* The coolest humanoid is the Ettin (2-headed Giant), which is large in size (2" base), but is super ridiculously tall compared to all other large miniatures I have, somewhere between 4-7" tall. I don't have it with me, so I can't tell you exactly how tall it is.
There are 8 Elementals, these include:
* 3 Fire Bats: All the same model, being small in size (3/4" base). These are pretty cool, because they are flying, though I should mention they are very fragile (one of mine was broken when I got it).
* 1 Salamander (Flaming Lizard/Snake Person), which is medium in size (1" base)
* 4 Elementals (Beings of a pure element): All different models (to represent the 4 elements), with the earth and water elementals being medium in size (1" base) and the fire and air elementals being large in size (2" base)
The Black Dragon is the coolest piece of the set, being a highly detailed Black Dragon, with the classic horns. It is large in size (2" base), but is flying, and has a wingspan of somewhere between 5-8" from wingtip to wingtip. It is my favorite Dragon miniature I have and is incredibly awesome.
