I was aware of Gale Force Nine making terrain and accessories for various games like D&D as well as HeroClix and, obviously enough, the new game Spartacus: A Game of Blood and Treachery seeing I shot an unboxing vid for it (and currently getting in some plays for review) but I wasn’t overly aware of their Dungeons & Dragons Collectors Series line of miniatures until recently. All I can say is wow! These look like premium resin figures and I only wish I could knock out paint jobs like they have shown on the box covers – the Beholder especially!
Currently available are the Drow War Party, the Illithid Raiding Party, the aforementioned Eye Tyrant, and the Purple Worm. Granted, the minis are a touch on the pricey side ($50.00 for the first three boxes and $30.00 for the worm) but they look like amazing sculpts!
From Gale Force Nine:
Drow War Party
Drow are consummate assassins and raiders. Their attacks on surface settlements leave few alive. Deep within the Underdark, drow cities boil over with manipulation and betrayal. The drow would be a potentially overwhelming force to surface-dwellers if they could stop fighting each other long enough to unify.
Illithid Raiding Party
The ultimate megalomaniacs, mind flayers use their ability to enslave minds to play puppeteer to countless thralls while they feast on the brains of less useful creatures. Their goal is nothing short of world domination.
Eye Tyrant
Creatures of abhorrent shape and alien mind, beholders seek dominance over all they survey. The floating horrors enforce their will by firing rays of magic from their eye stalks.
Purple Worm
Massive burrowing creatures, purple worms are feared for their ability to swallow enemies whole. They are capable of burrowing through solid rock and leave huge tunnels in their wake.
