If you’ve been carefully combing over our website every hour or so like a loyal gnome, and for shame if you haven’t, you noticed that yesterday we had a new download available. Gnome Stew is proud to present our Print and Fold Gnome Miniatures! We received an e-mail late September from one of our servicemen. One of the things we discussed with him was good sources for inexpensive minis. Never ones to ignore people who have demonstrated excellent taste in GMing advice websites, we immediately…

My group is currently playing a D&D 4th Edition campaign, and I love having lots of accessories in front of me when I play.

With D&D 4e out (and looking awesome so far), I wanted to start building a collection of prepainted fantasy minis for future use. While I plan to buy some boosters as well, I figured I’d kick things off by ordering a host of cheap minis for representing PCs. Even if creatures get counters instead, it’s always cool when the PCs have their own minis. Back when I was collecting Star Wars Starship Battles minis, I found a site I was really pleased with for ordering…
