North Star Working On Official Rangers Of Shadow Deep Miniatures
April 9, 2019 by brennon
North Star Military Figures has announced that they are going to be working with the creator of Rangers Of Shadow Deep and Bobby Jackson to create a small series of official miniatures for the game.
The game has captured the imagination of many, offering up a chance to play solo and cooperative campaigns throughout engaging and narrative scenarios. It is the work of Joseph A. McCullough who has not only produced the Core Book but also two additional adventures, Blood Moon and Temple Of Madness.
The range will focus in on the Rangers themselves, offering up a selection of cool heroes for you to choose from and of course the minions that they'll be facing out there in the darkness. Everything else for the game can be snagged from the existing plastic range offered by North Star for games like Frostgrave and rummaging through your own collection.
I can't wait to see the Rangers they make for this game. I love tinkering around with plastics but having the option to pick up some metal Rangers will be great!
Will you be snapping up this range?

Bobby Jackson has done a lot of sculpts for Reaper and Cool Mini, so it will be interesting what he comes up with.
love his work so I’ll be grabbing them for something.
I rather have high quality plastic than metal. That being said, this is nice but not sure it is required. Good idea to seize on the popularity but what is great about Frostgrave and RoSD is that you can bring your own miniatures. I have to believe that unless you are just starting out in this hobby you already have a crap ton of plastic or metal miniatures you can proxy. Curious if they will do a Nickstarter on this as well.
Well, the focus does appear to be just the Rangers and some of the enemies from the Adventures. So, they are still working off the premise that you’re just going to use all the plastics that already exists to play the game.
I see that being a good balance.
@brennon did you see the sneek peak of one of the digital images of a ranger North Star put on their social media yesterday?
Here’s hoping they focus on the harder to find minions but this is good to hear
The figure’s are good love the wizards Box.
I’m looking forward to these.
I think having some boxes of figures specific to the game are great for folks that want to buy and build without having to do a lot of shopping. Let’s face it some folks don’t have a high imagination and this will suit them just fine.
I have quite a few figures already for ‘Rangers of Shadow Deep’ but I’ll buy a box of these to have on hand for when I introduce the game to someone that’s looking for a package setup. So to speak.
Between this and Frostgrave, Mr McCullough is growing my miniatures collections in all sorts of ways.
This has all the right pieces for something great altogether. Count me as excited for sure.
This i will be following with interest.
