Welcome back Dungeoneers! It's been some time, but after a much needed break I am ready to get back into action with our little friend the Magmin. They are small fire elementals that are hell bent on burning all around them. They usually call the Plane of Fire home, but are often summoned by spellcasters …

Mike’s Minis #16: Elias Thorn
The time has come. I have finally branched out away from WizKids minis after so long and tried my hand at painting my very own HeroForge miniature, Elias Thorn. Elias is an npc from my home campaign and as you can probably tell, he's a wizard. The reasons I wanted to paint him are: I …
Humble Homebrew: Lantern of Ruen
I know if I was an all powerful wizard I'd want the ability to carry around a miniature Sun in my pack. I thought it would be interesting to have a spell that had multiple uses. Not only as an un-extinguishable light source, but as a pretty powerful spell. The Lantern of Ruen is specifically …
Monster Mania: Shield Guardian
As glass cannons, Wizards typically try to find every avenue with which to better defend themselves. Whether it be the tank of the group, or in this case, a large metal construct. Shield Guardians are a spellcaster's best friend. They are extremely strong and defensively imposing, giving their masters much needed backup when in an …
Mike’s Minis #15: Gelatinous Cube
I think it was inevitable to come across a project that, in my opinion, turned out to be a bust. This was the first time I tried painting a clear miniature. I did some cursory research, and it was honestly hard to find really useful and informative guides on how to paint something like this …
Humble Homebrew: Spare Pocket
Today's Humble Homebrew is going to be a little different. Usually I develop and release my homebrew items but today I am venturing into creating my own spells that you can add to your spell list. Now a bag of holding is practically a staple item in D&D, but just in case you don't come …
Monster Mania: Spectator
Beholderkin are far more diverse than most people would be led to believe, and they are brought into the material plane through some wild methods. The Spectator for example is forcibly transported from its realm through a ritual summons that requires at least four eye stalks from a Beholder. When it is summoned it is …
Mike’s Minis #14: Dragon Wyrmling
This paint job was a lot of fun to work out. The model itself is that of a Black Dragon Wyrmling but as you can tell, it is not black. What came first was the story for this mini that was inspired by my home campaign. My players had come across a massive crystal teeming …
Humble Homebrew: Shallow Reef Armor
There are many things lurking under the depths of the sea, and the waters allow for many more dimensions in which to run away. This armor will become very useful to restrict movement. A piece of equipment that offers some more variety for reactions sounds super cool. I picture that some mysterious delver of the …
Monster Mania: Guard Drake
Dragons have a lot of influence in this game we all love, obviously since half of the name involves them, and I'm a huge fan of when they affect the world they inhabit because it usually involves some huge cataclysmic event that destroys life as we know it. Guard Drakes are one of the few …
