Bestiarum Miniatures: Brood of the Toadmother

Diesen Monat gibt es Frösche mit eindeutig zu vielen Zähnen bei Bestiarum Miniatures.

April @ Bestiarum | Brood of the Toadmother

This month, the horrors of the Lost Continent are swelling up from the Mirewoods in the form of the Brood of the Toadmother, our new monthly Miniatures Collection built around Tepozotli, Matron of the Mirewoods, her twisted Anuran brood, and the idols, totems, and swamp-wrought relics that mark their territory.

Let’s take a look at what lurks in the mud!

This release expands the Lost Continent with its first threats in the form of the warped inhabitants of the Mirewoods, from the prowling Anuran Hunters and hulking Warriors to the ritual-leading Shaman and the half-formed Tadpoles spawned in the shallows.

Looming over all of them is Tepozotli, Matron of the Mirewoods, a grotesque swamp sovereign whose brood sprouts from the gaping holes in her back and hunts, migrates, and worships according to her needs, making her an effective center of a narrative encounter and a monstrous threat on the tabletop.

The Anuran Totems stand at the centre of the brood’s sacred ground, from the larger modular totems that form the heart of their ritual spaces to the smaller scattered effigies that mark the Matron’s reach. More than decoration, they reflect the Anurans’ worship of Tepozotli and give their territory a clear visual identity.

On the tabletop, the larger totems work well as objectives or focal terrain for encounters, while the smaller scatter pieces help carry that same atmosphere across the rest of the board or can be used as smaller objective markers. Together, they make it easy to turn your table into an eerie ritual site for the Toadmother’s children.

For this month’s Faction Pack, we’re expanding the Expedition faction book into a true Compendium for the Lost Continent. This book will become your one-stop shop for any lore or encounter-building related to the expedition to the Lost Continent and those who inhabit it.

Alongside the typical lore and 5e statblocks, the Compendium holds a series of immersive documents and optional rules to make your tropical tabletop adventure come to (horrific) life before your very eyes! This month, we’re including an optional in-depth ruleset for creating and running your very own diseases in D&D. Dive in and unleash your very own plague today!

We’re incredibly excited to share April’s miniatures with you, and putting this set together has been a real pleasure from start to finish. We can’t wait to see how you bring them to life, so if you’ve already got ideas brewing for paint schemes, basing, or conversions, make sure to tell us about it!

Cheers,

The Bestiarum Team
