More Mighty Heroes Join The Ranks Of Dark Sword Miniatures
July 12, 2016 by brennon
Dark Sword Miniatures have shared ten new models for a variety of their ranges over on their webstore. We'll kick things off with some regular adventuring folk who might just fit into your next role-playing session.
We start things off with this rather brutal looking Cleric who seems like he has seen a fair few battles in his time; clutching his holy symbol at the ready. Following on from him we have another powerful individual, their Human Mage.
We took a look at the Demonkin Rogue earlier in the year and now this has also joined their collection as a new release.
We finish things off for these Dungeons & Dragons worthy adventurers with another Human Fighter/Mage who looks like he might be more at home within the world of Flash Gordon.
I imagine that he might be a bit of a Barbaric individual but he certainly has this quirky old school look to him.
A Bewitching Courtesan
Following on from them we have another single release for the Song of Ice & Fire collection with this Courtesan.
I imagine that this woman comes from the sands of Dorn considering her dress and the basing they've gone for here. Certainly an interesting choice for a new scenario.
Animal Adventurers
As always they are continuing to build on their animal adventurer collection too. Kicking things off we have the Owl Warrior...a wise fighter.
He is followed by this tricky Otter Rogue who has a bag of loot, hauled from the castle of some villainous lord. He is matched by his Otter Mage companion too.
Additionally they have some rather awesome Turtles too in both a Bardic form and also a Warrior too. Both of them are looking fantastic.
The Turtle Warrior is looking great; an exotic looking warrior with a nasty looking axe that seems like it has seen a few battles. I like that he has his natural armour too covering his chest and the actual armour pieces protecting his flesh.
What do you like from this set of releases?

They have some beautiful models on the site. Some of these are hit-and-miss for me, especially when I look beyond the top drawer paint job.
Those animal adventurers are IMO better than those fantasy characters.
You’re right, i especially love the Owl Warrior and the turtles.
like the animal adventurers.
the human characters anatomy are totally off
@brennon: surely that fighter/mage is more at home getting his arse handed to him by Conan than Flash Gordon 😉
they are looking great.
I like some of them, but the only thing that really gets under my skin is the bases being cast with the model. That alone harks back to the 80’s before slotted bases became more available and the norm. Come on Dark Sword, by doing the switch to at least slotted bases the models will be more appealing for table top gamers. RPG collectors may be able to live with single piece base and model casts but I doubt gamers will.
