New Releases - Chitine & Choldrith (Patreon)
Content
Finally got some fun photos for these new Chitine paper miniatures I added to the catalog last month.
These guys were requested by a Council member (Tier5+) last month and I couldn't help myself from getting completely derailed making some minis for 'em.
Their creepy spider vibe makes them pretty fun to throw at low level characters - with multiple arms and big spider pinchers they're a bit more visually interesting then your generic goblin or bandit.I saw an opportunity to do a slightly more intense/scary variant of the default Chitine for Tier 2+ Patrons. I figure this fellow could serve as the occasional elite threat against low level parties or as upgraded fodder minions against higher level parties - perhaps empowered by a shrine to give their multi-attacks advantage, should be able to land a hit on even the tankest of characters.

Chitines are lead by spell casting Choldriths, with a bit higher challenge ratings and the ability to summon Spectral Daggers (basically Spiritual Weapons). I always love when I have an excuse to make miniatures that support abilities or mechanics in a game, so opted to make a Spectral Dagger miniature as well.

In the lore Chitines like to create shrines to their spider god - again a nice opportunity for me to create a miniature prop that could potentially radiant an aura or provide some other mechanical advantage for the Chitines. I love the idea of providing other mechanical elements within a combat that players have to interact with/work around.
I really like how creepy Chitines are and I wanted to push that a bit more so I ended up making a variant of the shrine which I used in my own Lost Mines of Phandelver game - I had it give 10 temp hit points to all Chitine in range at the start of their turns, radiating from the gem in the skulls mouth (which could be destroyed or dispelled). Anyhow, this version is available to Tier2+ Patrons.
