Lost Mine of Phandelver Campaign

I did a thing, lol, I purchased an entire campaign of miniatures for the 5e Lost Mine of Phandelver which is the introductory campaign for the 5e Starter Set.  It's actually a well thought out campaign module that takes the players from first through fifth level.  I've ran the module for friends and family a couple times and I have an idea of wanting to run this at my local hobby store for newbies.  

I found this set from 3D Dungeon Labs on Etsy.  It's a brilliant idea, the Etsy shop owner has sourced a number of sculpts from various artists and prints them as a complete set.  I love the selection he's chosen and there are 125 miniatures that makes up the complete set of encounters you need for this game module.

Opening the box I was greeted with a listing of all the models as well as a nice dice set of Orion Nebula Light Blue Galaxy.

What a great way to open the box - a set of really good looking dice.

The models were bagged together by chapter and then individually bagged with a tag stating what the model was - fantastic!  Each of those bags was under a layer of what could be best described as artificial straw packaging.  It certainly did the job of keeping all the models safe.


Here are the models for chapter 1.  In addition, I received some bonus models (they were tagged "Bonus" on the bag) - how awesome is that!


The models printed out nicely.  They're a harder plastic that's more model sprue like than let's say Reaper Bones or pre-painted models.  Most of them have the base separate from the model and will need to be glued.  I'll be painting and posting here in order of the encounters in each chapter.

The vendor has a website at www.3ddungeonlabs.com which has a link to their Etsy shop.  Lots of fun eye candy but I think that I have enough here to keep me busy for a bit.
