Dark Sun

I am always on the lookout for minis that I can fit into a Dark Sun campaign.  As I have said before, the world of Athas is one of my favorite fantasy settings, for it is a rich blend of John Carter's Mars, Frank Herbert's Dune, Robert E. Howard's Conan along with some pre-WOTC TSR weirdness.

The barbarian below is from the first Reaper Bones.  While the over the top sword and armor would be out of place in a traditional Forgotten Realms style fantasy, it is perfect for Dark sun.  The weapons and armor have a bit of the bone and chitin look for the metal-impoverished Athas.

The recent Elemental Evil Player's Companion inspired this levitating Genasi. While the four new races (Aaracokra, Deep Gnomes, Genasi and Goliath) are intended for the Forgotten Realms, a text box refers to Genasi in Dark Sun.  Hopefully, this is a sign of something in the works for new campaign settings.

The source is Reaper Bones II, a Pathfinder figure, but painted as a desert dwelling Air Genasi Wizard, using his Levitate cantrip.

Bugbears

I need some Bugbears as I run some kids through the Lost Mine of Phandelver D&D 5E adventure. Luckily, I got a small horde of them from Reaper Bones II.
