Pieces of Plastic

A Show & Tell of my kitbashed D&D miniatures made (mostly) from chopped up Heroclix and/or Dollar Store toys. Also on Instagram  @pieces.of.plastic.rpg

I’m slowly getting my workshop put together and hopefully I’ll be getting some new projects off the ground soon. In the meantime, here’s a pair of official WizKids Dragonborn Female Fighters painted by my wife (left) and myself (right).

Now, I don’t normally condone these free spirited “nudist-type” miniatures. But working with superheroes has me dealing with a lot of figures in skintight suits which, let’s be honest, may as well just be naked.

So, naturally, when I found Jean Grey and Hawkman next to each other in my parts bin I couldn’t help but see the potential for a Succubus / Harpy / Siren. So I made one.

Help! My well water has gone all weird...

A pretty simple conversion on this Reaper Miniature, just turned one monster into a monster and a prop.

Kiss my Martian Manhunter loving grits!

Actually, the truth is that I don’t love Martian Manhunter. I barely know anything about him other than he’s a Martian. He is an actual Martian, right?

Anyway, what I do know is that this western inspired sculpt is pretty cool. Cool enough to not even modify other than slap it on a 1” base and paint it. Yeah, sorry. I’ll do better next time.

This single Man-Bat Heroclix made 4 whole miniatures! We’ve got the Werebat/Vampire Lord (large) and three (medium) Bat Swarms.

Very little work was involved in these builds. Chopping and gluing bats and the stonework on the bases were the most time consuming parts.

Todd McFarlane called, he wants his edgy, evil clown aesthetic back.

More like Pieces of Popsicle Sticks, Toothpicks and Thread! At least the horse is plastic.

This was my very first Heroclix kitbash. Painted by my wife on the day of the game, this figure was made for a fellow player and is supposed to represent a halfling spoons-playing bard with a fancy axe. Looking back on it now I think she better represents a fighter.

Here’s something a little different: My super cool wife bought me a pack of AD&D 1992 Trading Cards for Christmas last year. It seemed like a shame to waste the awesome foil packaging, so we used it to make 1” pins.

The Dark Knight... as an actual knight! I feel like a black & grey suit would have probably translated better as armor but I prefer my Batmen in blue.

Beware! A modular Hobgoblin Ranger approaches! What makes him modular? He can get off his horse, and sit on a rock in a very “Hey you kids, get off my lawn!” kind of pose. Pretty scary stuff.

Save a horse, play a tabletop RPG...

I present the Mining Werebear of Noble Descent! It’s such an odd combination that there must be a fun backstory in there somewhere.

Here’s my altered “Devotee of the Silver Flame”. I didn’t care for his pose (plus he was always a bit tippy) so I lopped his arm off at the shoulder, chilled him out and gave him some splashes of gold. I prefer my town guard-like minis a little more on the relaxed side

It may not be found in Loch Ness (or Lake Okanagan for us Canadian folk) but this thing still looks like a big cryptid-water-dino to me! The base size is “huge” in D&D standards.

Is it a simple Mind Flayer or is it an evil Squidward Wizard (Squidwarzard)? I don’t know, you tell me...
