We bring a beacon to shine through the dying light of 2025 - the first miniature release in a whole new year of Grimdark Goodness - Let’s follow the Acaridian Prophet into a new promised land together. This time, we’re digging deeper into the Church of the Acarid with a few fresh horrors stepping out of the shadows and some new terrain to frame the whole thing. Expect more nasty parasites and more of the half-sacred, half-infested vibe that you've come to expect from this faction.

Miniatures Collection - Church of the Acarid

church of the acarid january Collection

This new collection expands upon the core Infested with new characters and some of those all-important gribbly weirdos, but most importantly - it uncovers a whole new side of the Acarid menace, a new race of strange, ascended beings - the Acaridians. A terrible union of insectile instinct and human sentience.

This release also includes some gorgeous scatter terrain to make the church really shine. Alongside the Statue of the Sainted Mother you’ll get broken, infested pews, as well as bowls and stone altars with a few unfortunate victims to really sell the scene. The statue in particular is a super versatile piece: The uninfested version would make a striking centrepiece on any board!

Faction Pack: Church of the Acarid

As always, the new miniatures are accompanied by their Faction Pack. So close on the heels of the previous Acarid Faction Pack, we’ve not only added new sections for the new characters - we’ve also taken the time to expand the whole book with new imagery and most excitingly - Random Tables!


Wondering what that weirdo Acaridian is up to? Need to infest your encounter with even more tension? This book has your back.

All our Faction Packs include:


  • Plug-and-play 5e Statblocks.

  • Rich and engaging world and faction lore.

  • Narrative compositions to help you set the scene for your players.

  • Helpful guidance on how to introduce these terrifying new characters into your next or ongoing D&D campaign.

  • Original Concept Art.

Monthly Painting Competition

Our monthly painting competition grows from strength to strength - last month saw an angelic host of excellence, and we can’t wait to see what you’ll cook up for these Acarids.


It’s awesome seeing the number of entries grow each month - we hope some more of you will hop on the Community Discord & join the action!

Happy New Year to all of you wonderful folks, we hope this collection helps kick your hobby year off to a great start - we’d love to hear what plans you’ve got cooking for the coming months!


Cheers,


The Bestiarum Team
