With Andrew Harshman
An archive and review of the minis used on CR.
Pretty metal combat in this episode. Definitely feels like an early 2000s CG laden power metal music video. Which is to say this fight was totally sweet. I’ve given stat blocks to players before, it’s a great DMing tool. Great way to involve players that don’t have present PCs.
Regarding the terrain. Not sure the source on this rock arch. Could be a multipart 3D print, could be an aquarium decoration. If you have the source info, do let me know. If you are looking to find such a terrain piece for your game, based on my research there appear to be similar options out there on the internets. Dwarven Forge also has some Caverns natural bridges that could work.

The Monsters
Storm Elemental Elemental Evil #029 Air Elemental

Kind of a scary looking ghostly elemental. In fact, this figure could definitely double as a big ol’ undead spirit. A giga-ghost, if you will. A big-banshee. Awhopping-wraith. A substantial-specter. I like this model quite a bit, the sculpt and paint achieve a gaseous appearance that is quite impressive.
Lightning Elemental Eberron: Rising from the Last War #028 Living Spell Lightning Bolt

Creative miniature usage here. This model is of a very specific monster from a specific campaign setting, but it works perfectly in this capacity. Living Spells dwell in the Mournlands of the Eberron setting. This exclusion zone was the site of a massive magical disaster that destroyed an entire country. The area is now shrouded in ominous mist and is home to all sorts of bizarre arcane phenomenon and dangerous creatures. Living Spells are literally magic spells that have gained sentience and now stalk the Mournlands. The mini works very well as a lightning/storm elemental, very good indeed. Cool monster, cool sculpt, I dig it.
The Esseks

A the end of the episode the party met up with Essek and right before the stream ended Matt brought out two possible Essek miniatures. I believe one of them is the WizKids Dark Elf Rogue. Not totally sure. As for the other figure, we’ve got a fully customized Eldritch Foundry figure painted by Iron Tusk Painting:
A wonderfully painted model in a cool pose. But like, Essek looks fashy af. Thank goodness for that semi-whimsical furry collar or else he would look 100% like a member of the Galactic Empire high command.
Closing Thoughts and Predictions
I’m an episode behind on my posts, so can’t really make any predictions. See you next post!
