Otherworld Populate your Role-Playing Skies and Woods
July 12, 2012 by brennon
One of the foremost companies for role-playing encounters in fantasy has been Otherworld Miniatures. They are boosting their line even more with three more releases...
First up is this dominating Cloud Giant. He seems a little too casual for my tastes, but I suppose even a giant has to relax after beating an enemy senseless with that massive maul.
But if you're more of a 'down to earth' adventurer dwelling in the realm of level 1-10 then maybe these boar encounters would be a good shout? There are two different packs, Boars 1 and Boars 2 with a slightly more angry pair in the second set.
Will you be adding them to your miniatures collection?
I like that cloud giant. It’s body looks somewhat brutish with the oversized man hands and the curved fangs but regal due to the fine cloths and headset. I like the over all look of this.
Indeed that Cloud Giant lookjs relaxed. His rather jolly blue giant.
Pretty benign looking models. There’s far better out there. The cloud giant looks familiar, an 80’s Ral Partha cast maybe? Or maybe it’s from the old 1st Edition AD&D Player’s Handbook. Does anyone else recognize it?
Like most of Otherworld’s stuff, the look emulates that of D&D 1st Edition’s illustrations. The cloud giant looks just like that from the old Monster Manual.
I love what they do. I just bought some pig-snouted orcs from them. Great sculpts!
