Hibou Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I am running a dungeons and dragon campaign for my friend and his two grade school age daughters. I have been looking around for whimsical even silly miniatures to populate the campaign world. I have already bought a few like Jason Wiebe’s sabertooth pug and the bones flail snail as well as the Grymkin Piggybacks from Privateer Press What are your favorite whimsical or silly miniatures?

Do you have acces to a 3D printer by chance? There are many files that might suit you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibou Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 I don’t currently have access to a 3d printer. My friend who has one is playing in the campaign so as to avoid spoilers i don’t want to go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I like a number of miniatures from Oathsworn, with my favourite seemingly being the Fennec Fox, but that's because she practically towers over the others at 40mm tall, despite being one of the shortest fox breeds out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72moonglum Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Darksword Miniatures also has lots of different animals in clothing and armor, some cuter than others. Reaper Mouselings too are pretty whimsical and cute! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgersinMeadows Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 @malefactus sculpts and converts many of his miniatures, but I think his log has great example of whimsical fantasy miniatures. I think the GW Gobbapalooza is pretty whimsical, albeit a wee bit terrifying. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianuk Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Lucid eye do a set of cartoony dungeon crawler minis. Oathsworn miniatures do Burrows and Badgers, not entirely whimsical but still, rabbits with swords.. Warploque minis are all done in a cartoony style. Northumbrian Tin Soldier are also worth a look.

Clearman Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I second the anamorphic animals. I'd also recommend Chibi style miniatures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werkrobotwerk Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 stonehaven minis has some cute picture book looking stuff. myth has some really cute enemies, bugs and little orcy things. you can also find the minis on clearance some places if you're up for animal people, wander has a bunch of them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilvish the Deliverer Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Slug Eat Your Face by Tom Meier is about as whimsical as you can get. Not sure of it is readily available anymore though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlylowlycook Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Have you looked into Mice and Mystics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibou Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 I am definitely a fan of the darksword animorphics. I also have a small force of the GW goblins. The others i will have to check out. Considering Reaper has a bunch of promotions starting this week what do you feel are Reapers best offerings?

malefactus Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Northumbrian Tin Soldier has a range of delightfully whimsical creations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twalrus Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 As far as Reaper goes, the mouslings fit the bill. There's a fair amount of just regular animals, too, although a lot of them aren't what you'd call traditionally cute. They're just... animals. Maybe some of the gnomes will do the trick? They're not all explicitly silly but they are gnomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Khan Artist Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Mouselings are great. I bought my 8 year old niece a learn to paint kit for her birthday this weekend and she got some mouselings, war pugs and a princess. There are some great chibi figs in the new small world bones, inspired by the comics for the Bones 4 Kickstarter. There are also the old horror chibis in bones. The mushroom men in the Miniature monday kit look pretty cute too. I think they're properly called fungoids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
