I'm trying to get some friends, and my wife, to try out Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition with me. I never played D&D before and hope to have a great time (Star Wars: Edge of the Empire was my first RPG and that one was really fun).

Since I want to run the game on a playmat with miniatures to represent player characters and monsters I started painting up some new additions to my fantasy collection. I will be updating this thread as I go along. More pictures on my blog:

Lovely mpainting.

Some of those creatures look a bit powerful for new adventurers.
From my experience of 2nd Edition you will need a load of kobolds to die in their multitudes.

I have a lot of zombies, ghouls and skeletons that I plan to use for the initial stages of the campaign, also a bunch of Red Box Games goblins

I very much like how you’ve painted the monsters. The beholder doesn’t seem as dangerous as it is supposes to be though

Looks great! Been enjoying DnD 5e myself lately, and it is fun to have minis for it.

Lovely paintjobs, all of them!

Thanks guys, finished one Ogre last night, had him half painted for over a year and finally got motivated enough to complete the paintjob and start working on the next couple of ones.

I also added some static grass to my Red Box Games orcs and took pictures of the finished models as well:

@Reed,
It's not a proper Beholder but rather a smaller kin called Gauth. I will try go get a proper Beholder down the road as well. I really like the Beholder from the "Nolzur's marvelous minis" range.

Great work on the adventurers and beasties.

Well done! I like the blue war Paint!

Those are looking good. Makes me think we need to schedule some 5E soon.

Another Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of Ashardalon miniature painted up. I think this one discredits the saying "no matter what you do to a turd - polish it, paint it, give it bling - it's still a turd".

Short adventurers for D&D player characters painted up. More pictures of each mini can be seen over at my blog:

Really nice work, esp that plastic fig. I'd have thought the detail too soft but you did a great job.
