Otherworld Miniatures

Not sure if any of you are familiar with Otherworld miniatures, they've been going a few years now and make some awesome dungeon crawler styled miniatures aimed at old school D&D, but would fit right into any HQ game.
The prices are a little more than usual companies but the quality is second to none, and the sculpts are superbly done.

I personally have painted a few of these, including the massive Giant with three head options, which I did as a commission a while back.

Honestly if you want quality miniatures specifically aimed at dungeon crawling, then you can't go wrong here.

Even adventurers are just in line with the new stats you guys keep coming up with.

The pig-faced orcs are classic. The new hero types, too.
The style is too cartoonish for me, but it makes for a cohesive style when used with original HQ, Fenryll, Ilyad Games, or some old Citadel stuff.

Isn't it a little too big for HQ?

This model was hand-sculpted by Kev Adams. It is 32mm tall to the eyes, cast in pewter, and is supplied with a 25mm round plastic slotta base.

Not at all, it should be ok, as really if you think about real life scale, we're not all the same heights either.

25mm is typical for rpg, and is jsut about the same base/space size as the HQ board.
If you figure that to be 5ft, which is normal for rpg spaces, 32mm would be around
6ft or so. I don't see anything wrong with that.

I quite like the style, myself, and should I ever get a group to game with, I will definitely
keep this site as a source for minis. If for no other reason, they use pewter, where a lot
of the other companies have gone to resin, but kept the same prices.

That's another reason I like them, metal minis will always win for me over stuff like finecast.

I really like the style. Not a fan of metal minis but those are really nice, really nice.
