This is Bol Understones and he is a bit of a cranky fella. I have been itching to do some dwarves for a while and was walking my dog when a thought about two grumpy lackey guards set to guard one of the side gates of a human city came to me. I wanted an ugly elf and a grumpy dwarf to greet weary travelers. I have been meaning to kick up the stylization and personality of my sculpts for a while and figured I would start with these two. Bol Understones is the first one of the bunch and Daek Figleaf isn't far behind. Since these two aren't the paragon's of their respective heritages I focused on a less sophisticated design for their gear than I normally strive for which was a lot of fun. My goal was to sculpt enough personality in them that you could imagine the voice of the character.

Hello, my name is Clute and I am the sole sole creator behind Hack+Slash Minis. Miniatures have always been a large part of our tabletop sessions, but I struggled to find or kit bash miniatures that looked exactly like my illustrations. When 3D printers became accessible, I started to play around with skills I had developed in traditional sculpture and I was hooked. I am finally able to bring the same personality and details of the characters in my stories from a 2-dimensional illustration to a finely crafted 3D sculpture at any scale I desired. I have been creating miniatures for tabletop games since 2019 under Epic Adventure Miniatures and now under Hack+Slash Minis. These miniatures are my love letter to the games that inspired me to create worlds and stories for the characters my friends over a lifetime of skills developed in art. Thank you for taking the time to escape into fantasy with me and I hope these creations hack and slash their way to your next epic adventure.
