D&D Chainmail Miniatures Game: Ettin

  

The Dungeon and Dragons Chainmail game was an underloved Miniatures skirmish game from Wizards of the Coast.  They expected it to be huge like Magic and when it did not perform it was slowly cut and cut with each Set getting less and less available.  First set was in every gaming store.  Second set some stores.  After that the final two sets seemed to be hard to find.  Now since it is like 15+ years out of print those late series models command prices quite a bit above their original ones.  I recently saw this on a store front for pretty close to the original price and half the price I see smaller models from the same Set listed on ebay so I picked it up.

The box was opened buy complete and in good condition including the card.  The model is not huge and seems smaller than the Orge Mercenary from the earlier sets. 



 

He is quite expensive in game and very hard to manage but does get 4 melee attacks which make up for the not super great Attack value.

Chainmail Miniatures Game: Dwarf People's Guard


A couple of months back, I noted that I was looking for the stats for some of the wizards of the coast Chainmail line.   While I have yet to get anyone who has the stats I was looking for I did net one of the model boxes on ebay recently.  The dwarf people's guard set had two different models.  The sculpts are not bad but they are definitely on the planar side.



The models were actually pretty low cost for Set 4 and came with the special rule Shield Mate +2 which grants a +2 AC bonus from melee attacks to any friendly model in base to base contact with the People's Guard but any attacks directed at the friendly model can instead be directed at the people's guard.  Not bad little ability.

Looking for D&D Chainmail Model Statistics


So summer is approaching and my first born is starting to get old enough for some training in the ways of the nerd.  I have been looking at my model collection and think I might start her with a little X-Wing and some Dungeons and Dragons Chainmail action.  Now X-Wing is star wars and she has seen and enjoyed the movies (especially the presence of a Princess) and Chainmail actually has a fair number of female sculpts that are presented in reasonable (not totally sexist) ways.
