New Miniatures | September 2025 | Church of the Acarid
|
September skitters onto the scene with a new miniatures collection of parasitic horrors and an accompanying terrain pack - something we know many of you have been begging for.
Alongside the new releases, we’re also breathing fresh life into a Bestiarum classic with a remaster of the original Gorgon Catacombs set, now renamed to the more thematically fitting Church of the Acarid.
Miniatures Collection - Church of the Acarid
September’s miniature collection expands the Church of the Acarid faction with an array of grotesque new models. At the heart of this release lies the story of a doomed church, raised in honor of the Sainted Mother, a vast tomb carved beneath its foundations, and, most importantly, the skittering terror unearthed when the earth below was disturbed.
Joining the miniatures is a versatile terrain pack designed to bring the ruined church to life. Use it to:
Recreate the decaying temple itself
Populate your battle maps with evocative furniture
Build atmospheric dioramas
Get creative with kitbashes and conversions
This set is super modular, and contains some extremely useful sub-parts - which we’re sure the crafters amongst you put to great use.
We can’t wait to see what you do with these pieces!
Note: Some terrain, like the large pit and platforms , is designed specifically for FDM printing . These structural pieces don’t suit resin but print beautifully on FDM machines.
Faction Pack: Church of the Acarid
A brand-new Faction Book accompanies this release, fully reimagining the original lore. The Church now serves as a cautionary tale of faith and folly within the Azerai Empire, revealing new, darker secrets of the Faith.
Inside, you’ll also find a full suite of 5e-ready statblocks and narrative inspiration. Expect parasitic horrors that spread quickly, latch onto unsuspecting adventurers, and threaten to consume their very will, a delightfully grotesque addition to any campaign.
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.
BONUS for this month:
- Our updated Church of the Acarid Faction Book not only contains lore and 5e statblocks for the current release, but also the previously released Gorgon Catacombs collection!
