Dark Sword Take you on Another Animal Adventure (NSFW)
June 27, 2012 by brennon
You will understand the Not Safe For Work tag on this post later on but first let's take a look at the animal adventurers we have come to know and love from Dark Sword Miniatures...
Another good collection of new animal adventurers from Dark Sword Miniatures! I still can't say I enjoy the Frog heroes but the Mouse Cleric and Druid are awesome. Gets me interested for Mice & Mystics from Plaid Hat games and of course some Role-Playing in a world of animals.
Now for the NSFW section from Dark Sword. There's a lot of nudity on show here from these models...
First up are two models from the Elmore Fantasy range. Based on his art work these models are pretty typical Fantasy styled Females from the early days of Role-Playing games.
Next is Dark Swords study in nudity through models looking at different body types...
"I wanted to do some Dark Sword nude studies for painters to work on painting the nude female form. In speaking with Tom Meier about this, we felt it best to do something somewhat functional with a story behind it vs. just straight pin-up nudity (which is not a bad thing for a mini mind you!). In addition, we wanted to do different body types vs a skinny super model type body with fake breasts."
And to finish off the new wave of miniatures a look at a Steampunk Babe and another fantasy female...
And there you go! That's the new wave of releases from Dark Sword Miniatures. Is there anything in this current collection that takes your fancy?
Let us know what you think of the miniatures above below...
I always love the critter models from Dark Sword as there’s such character in both sculpt and paint job. I like how the rodent wizard is using his tail to hold the lantern – I mean if you’ve got what’s essentially an extra hand you may as well use it. The cleric and druid are good but I wish they’d swapped expressions so the cleric could have that “You! Shall not! Pass!” look to go with the pose. The frogs are the best of the animodels (see what I did there?) for me though as they’re just so quirky…the froggy… Read more »
Think THC has got in there and said it all again lol
That wizard is adorable! Love the Druid too.
Some sweet painting
Still don’t see the point of chainmail bikinis but overall the nudes are acceptable due to context.and narrative
I’m not big on the fantasy sculpts, and the steampunk one is a bit gratuitous, but I like the others, based as they are on mythology. The mice are fabulous.
I give a high five to the artist that sculpted all of them and the painters as well. The animal men look great! as for the rest its hit and miss. The female spartan and the temple dancer look great. The others I can pass on.
BTW the best I like is the frog thief of hearts. It’s so unique yet funny at the same time 🙂
My fave frog is the Jester.

More fantastic animal models that could very well be used in Ironclaw RPG. From those female models only one that i could get is woman emerging from water becouse others are rather basic nude women while that one has that extra by having that wet dress going on.
