Why bother with a snow golem miniature? First of all, Merry Christmas! This miniature was chosen for today because of the holiday connection, and I readily admit to pandering to the holiday. That said, this Construct was one of the ones I have been planning to feature anyhow, for a really good reason: the miniature […]

Why bother with a hill giant miniature? Hill giants are likely going to be the first giant of the Ordning (the ‘proper’ giants) that your players will encounter, as the lowest ranking members of the Ordning. It’s a lot of fun to watch the expressions of the players as they realise just how massive they

Why bother with a swarm of ravens miniature? Swarms of ravens are far from the most dangerous Beasts, but they are surprisingly popular. Any stories with even a touch of horror or gothic in them will probably slip a swarm of ravens or two in. Swarms of any kind throw a bit of a monkey

Why bother with a broom of animated attack/ animated broom miniature? Animated brooms are a fun way to mess with low level PC’s; these constructs don’t do a lot of damage, but they are unexpected and can add a level of paranoia to your players once they realise that almost anything might be a creature

Why bother with a mastiff miniature? Mastiffs are not a bad mount if your character is small, but they can’t carry any creatures which are medium sized or larger. These beasts aren’t just for riding though, since they have good senses of smell and hearing and have a decent attack as well. Expect to see

Why bother with a draft horse miniature? As with the other horses I have covered, the draft horse is a pretty unlikely Beast to be attacking your party, but it is very likely that they will be using one to help them pull really heavy things, like wagons, or for villagers to use for plowing

Why bother with a hare miniature? Realistically, you probably don’t need to, but you might want to. As Beasts go, the hare isn’t a particularly terrifying beast at CR 0. Unless you have an Easter themed game, it’s also unlikely that you will be using them as a plot device. It’s possible that your druid

Why bother with a warhorse miniature? As Beasts go, warhorses are probably going to be pretty far down the list of creatures who are likely to attack your PC’s, They are a great way to get around, so they are likely to come be needed every now and then, especially if the PC’s are going

Why bother with a riding horse miniature? Riding horses aren’t particularly dangerous Beasts, but they are going to get a lot of use. Any long distance overland travel will likely involve some, and even if your PC’s don’t buy, rent, or steal them, there’s always the chance that your druid will turn into one, or

Why bother with a pony miniature? Ponies are one of those miniatures that you will use fairly regularly in Dungeons & Dragons, whether or not they are well represented in the published campaigns, because smaller races will be looking to ride a pony instead of a regular sized horse. Unless you want to disappoint your

Why bother with a drow miniature? Drow are one of the most popular Humanoid creatures in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, as well as being a playable race. They’ve been around since the early days of D&D and are not going away any time soon. Lots of people want to play drow, and they are

Why bother with a giant hyena miniature? I got this miniature because the mini is cool. Also, the creature is cool. Also, as a conservation biologist, I am not going to let the opportunity to play a creature that actually exists/existed to pass me by. Giant hyenas are one of the Beasts which are not
