New unpainted miniatures from Wizkids, featuring fearsome monsters and heroes that level up with you.

Wizkids has done prepainted miniatures before. Check out their icons of the realm or monstrous menageries for an example of the new grounds in quality they’ve found with prepainted miniatures–and earlier they released a handful of unpainted miniatures that were a step above that. After seeing how well that batch worked out, Wizkids and Wizards of the Coast have partnered once again to bring you a new round of Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures..

Holy cow, these are gorgeous. We had a chance to look at some of these in person, and there’s a level of detail to them that’s only hinted at in some of the render examples that they show. These minis have character–take a look at thisl barbarian. There’s a story there, you can tell right away where she’s from, how she fights, etc.

All the minis are like this. You get two versions of most of the heroes. They’re meant to represent your character leveling up. Sometimes it looks radical, other times, it just looks like your hero is using a different weapon–but even then, that doesn’t take away from the quality of the minis. And WizKids has been really stepping up their magic/translucent plastic game these days. There’s a thief with a cloud of shadows behind him, all the magic users have some kind of magical effect that will look all cool and glowy when painted up.

I can’t say enough good things about these, so read on for more info, and a link on how you can pre-order these marvelous miniatures.

The initial launch of WizKids Unpainted Miniatures lines brought the heroes and monsters from your RPG adventures to the tabletop like never before. After the premier of our unpainted lines, we were so overwhelmed by the positive feedback and reviews we received, that we couldn’t wait to do it all over again!

Today we are excited announce our plan to bring previously unavailable and long sought after creatures to our Dungeons & Dragons unpainted miniatures line, Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures.

Prepare to bring new races like the dragonborn, tiefling and genasi into your clan or customize your displacer beast, beholder or even Demogorgon to terrify the adventuring party with a plot twist. Now your characters and monsters can be as unique and creative as the adventure itself.

But that’s not all! Also plan to see the addition of fantastic unpainted, pre-primed, scenery pieces added to our Item Packs, available this Fall. Starting with the exclusive Dungeons & Dragons Ezmerelda’s wagon and plans for dozens of beautifully crafted terrain pieces, including a full campsite and more to come! With all of this great content releasing later this year, why let your paints dry up waiting for lesser quality, generic scenery pieces to come out from any other sources?

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

We provide you with the highest quality canvas possible so that you can use your unique creativity to bring your heroes and monsters life. Our professional sculptors utilize their years of experience, to bring you some of the most detailed miniatures you can find on the market, which means our HD Minis allow for easier and more accurate painting. In addition, all miniatures come in dynamic and exciting poses and are pre-primed and ready to paint out of the box.
