The woods are not merely alive, they are watching. You are leading your friends and compatriots into the forgotten forest- why was it forgotten again? You remember talking to the town elder about something pressing and a salivating amount of gold on offer for the job but, for the life of you it escapes your memory…before your foot catches on a root that you swear jumps up to trip you to the ground. Your face smacks the soil hard leaving you dazed as you rear up, suddenly faced with a toad. Or at least the belly of one, a big one, nay a man-sized one that croaks deeply as you scramble back to your party. But they are already drawing their weapons, hoisting you up as the same tree that tripped you begins to shift and shamble towards the team threateningly. It seems you might have forgotten a few important details about this enchanted forest…
Talespire’s Enchanted Forest booster pack is a small package for your favorite digital tabletop system, but as with the winged fairy included within- size isn’t everything! Four minis for your foray into magical woods untarnished by man join the ranks of the wonderful fey models Bouncyrock Studio has intricately put together. It isn’t hard to find uses for any of these, in and out of the feytouched woodlands!
First is the tiny fairy of the forest, a green-clad pixie with wings like a dragonfly whose ginger hair flutters about as if mid-flight. This fey creature is more tied to her realm than the rest, where she sprinkles magical dust to keep the woods alive and brimming with enchantment. Next to the giant toad, a surly-looking amphibian with a horned and wrinkled face only a four-legged mother could love. A massive and tongue-shooting beast he is, creative game masters might find the mini perfect for swamps, marshes or bogs as well, perhaps shrinking him down to a more manageable size- though no less dangerous if you get that toxic slime on your skin.
The third miniature in this Talespire update is the long-awaited magic hammer, a bright and shining weapon of the woad held aloft by powers naught understood by man. This pink and blue battle-ready model shines bright on any board you choose to place it on, whether a holy weapon of the devoted, an enchanted artifact haunting an abandoned manor, or whatever purpose you can imagine this ethereal slammer was conjured for. Finally, the towering treant with a glowing green eye lumbers forth onto your screen and towards your players, animated limbs filled with strength only the most valiant can hope to abet. Is this abomination brought to life to defend the creatures of its magical wooded home? Maybe it is a summon by your fey druid to defend the chosen representative of the forest! Or perhaps foul magic leaks from its rotting wood, a grisly and horrifying warning of the perils waiting in a blighted, necrotic corner where the dead whisper in their unlife…
These four assets for Talespire have their own important niches that you might’ve never realized you needed filled. The attention to their shape as well as digital details the developers gave to their 3D models allows all four of these minis to look fantastic at any size or distance, and you’ll capture amazing images of awakened trees charging the magic weapon-wielding cleric with no effort at all! Need a slab to set the stage for this scene? Why not try this enclosed swamp slab off of Tales Tavern? With a bit of atmospheric lighting customization you can make this terrain tileset a perfect home of the fey for your adventurers to come knocking. Thanks for supporting the devs on this journey, and enjoy your time with Talespire and its Enchanted Forest booster pack!
