First of all thanks to 1985 Games that gave us some CounterSpell Miniatures to write this review. Or, to be precise, that let us choose some of them from the list of the miniatures. In this review you’ll see some of the CounterSpell Miniatures that we liked the most. We just assembled them without doing anything else, to give a real idea of what they look like upon arrival at the customer’s home.
Currently there are 12 CounterSpell Miniatures, whose price varies from $12 to $55 based on the type of mini. There is a free shipping offer for orders over $60. If you use the code NoDiceUnrolled15 at checkout, you will get a 15% discount on your order!
Our Choices
In the photos you can admire “The Curious”, “Spirit Guide”, “Shadewood Werewolf” and “Shadewood Gargoyle”. These are high quality resin miniatures made in 30mm scale. An interesting peculiarity is the presence of all the statblocks (for the most famous role-playing game in the world) united in a free PDF downloadable from the page of each single piece.
I really like the design, both for the chosen subjects and for the poses and imagined details.
The photos were also taken with particularly close-up shots to give an idea of the details. These are miniatures with very different shapes and structures, some more massive, others finer and more detailed. Paradoxically, the more delicate ones with greater detail are those that have had the best yield even in terms of production. Some of them would still require a work of arrangement after assembly, using fillers to match the irregularities. The tail of “Shadewood Gargoyle” on the other hand was already broken as probably during the extrusion phase a bubble formed in the plastic which practically emptied it.
Final Consideration on CounterSpell Miniatures
There are many factors to consider on CounterSpell Miniatures. The possibilities for the purchase of miniatures have greatly increased in the last period and proportionally the attention to the quality and detail of the customers. CounterSpell Miniatures does not disfigure in this market.
Personally, I really enjoyed the design and the graphic choices. The realization has a good average quality, which varies from excellent to improvable and which involves a minimum risk on the yield of some pieces and assembly difficulties. Overall I am satisfied with the miniatures and their appearance. Also my rating is based on the assembled but raw version. A polishing and painting job would certainly emphasize the strengths and value of these pieces even more.
