Adventures In The Forgotten Realms Companions of the Hall

The Legend of Drizzt novels have been enormously influential on the game Dungeons and Dragons. Novelist RA Salvatore has produced almost 40 books detailing the adventures of this drow hero and his companions. This legendary (and well loved) character appeared frequently in the recently released Magic The Gathering  D&D Tie-In alongside his equally famous allies, The Companions of the Hall.

 

The Adventures In The Forgotten Realms Companions of the Hall Starter is a boxed set of five models, celebrating these books and their connection to both Dungeons and Dragons and Magic The Gathering.  They’re all pre-painted and at a scale compatible with other D&D paraphernalia, and work both as fan pieces and as a starter set for a D&D party.

 

The Drizzt Do’Urden model is dynamically posed. The model is mounted on a flying base as the elf is sweeping down cape flying in the air and both his magical swords, Twinkle and Icingdeath drawn. Like many Wizkid’s model, this a 3D version of existing art, and the detail is very good. He is accompanied by his magical panther, Guenhwyvar. This is the simplest model in the box; it’s a big black panther posed mid-pounce. It’s simply painted and though it looks great, it’s a pretty uncomplicated piece.

 

The red-haired archer in this set is Cattie-Brie, one of Drizzt’s closest companions.    It’s a striking pose and a useful model; rangers and archers are pretty common in D&D  and you can easily see what Cattie-Brie is aiming at.  She’s assisted by Bruenor Battlehammer, a Dwarven warrior , master craftsmen and occasional king. He carries and hand-axe and shield, and his posed mid-combat. His face is mostly beard, and his armour and equipment is finely detailed.

 

Finally, the set features Wulfgar of IceWind Dale. In the books, he’s an affable, 7ft tall human with blond hair. The model towers over the other pieces in the set and he posed carrying his massive hammer rather casually.  There’s an inherent humour to this sculpt which complements the set.

 

Fans of Drizzt will likely already have this box on their wishlists, but it’s also a very good starter set for your tabletop, as so many players have created heroes inspired by these books. And if you want to build a diorama featuring a certain Drow Goddess, this box will provide you with some epic heroes.
