This guy looks ready for battle!

I wouldn't want to be in the way of this guy's axe!

Barbarians are arguably one of the most fun classes to play. Every barbarian player needs a good mini that looks ready for battle!

13. Female Elf Druid

This elf looks like she's about to let loose on some unfortunate enemies.

Elves and the druid class go hand in hand. Their skills and abilities fit well together, making it a popular combination. Here’s the perfect mini for your elf druid!

What makes a Female Elf Druid awesome:

Her posture may look closed off, but the expression on her face says “don’t mess with me”!
This mini carries her staff close to her--after all, Shillelagh is often said to be one of the most powerful and useful cantrips in the D&D universe.

12.Male Dwarf Paladin

I'd follow this guy into battle!

Paladins are great for more experienced players who want to be able to cast spells and heal as well as smack the crap out of enemies. This dwarf paladin isn’t a demure priest-type, that’s for sure!

What makes a Male Dwarf Paladin great:

This paladin mini is in attack mode, or maybe he’s rallying his party for the upcoming battle! Either way, this guy isn’t backing down from a fight.
His golden armor and red cape make him the perfect mini for a paladin who serves a god of sun or light, or maybe fire!

She's certainly unique among rogues!

10. Male Tiefling Warlock

He looks like he's about to reveal some insane magic that I don't want to be in the way of!

Who said magic users had to have spellbooks or staff at all times? This tiefling warlock is ready to jump right into the battle!

What makes a Male Tiefling Warlock awesome:

Just because spell casters tend to have less HP than their barbarian or fighter counterparts, doesn’t mean they have to be sneaky or afraid. This warlock has an open stance that conveys bravery.
This mini holds his spell components in his hand, showing his enemies that he’s about to eldritch blast them to hell.
Tieflings are so fun to play! Hellish rebuke anyone?

7. Wood Elf Ranger

This ranger is all business.

It can be hard to find minis for elven characters that are more specific than just “elf”. This guy is wood elf specific, and he’s a ranger!

What makes a Wood Elf Ranger great:

4. Female Elf Fighter

Who said elves can't kick ass at a melee-based class?

1. Female Halfling Cleric

Holy power is not to be underestimated.

Every party needs a healer, and clerics are the quintessential healer class. Halflings are always a good race choice due to their ability to reroll natural ones. This is a great combo for a healer that can’t be beaten!

What makes a Female Halfling Cleric awesome:

This cleric is stoic AF! Plus, her armor doesn’t over-feminize her, meaning you could probably use this mini to play any gender of armored halfling!
The green color scheme in her armor and shield is not only pretty but works well for multiple subclasses of clerics.
Her arm is outstretched, ready to cast a spiritual weapon and beat the crap out of her foes. This pose makes her dynamic without taking the spotlight, which would be uncharacteristic for a lot of clerics.
