Werewolf Worgen by Bite the Bullet: 28mm Wolf Miniatures for D&D and Horror Gaming

The full moon encounter is one of D&D's most reliably tense moments on paper. In practice, it often lands flat. Part of that is the miniatures: a werewolf ambush with a proxy token or a mismatched plastic wolf kills the atmosphere before anyone rolls initiative. The Werewolf Worgen range from Bite the Bullet is built for this. Seven 28mm wolf miniatures in resin, purpose-built for exactly this kind of table.

What's Inside the Werewolf Worgen Set

The full set contains seven 28/32mm resin models, enough for a full lycanthrope warband with visual variety across the pack. Leading the group is the Chief, an alpha werewolf figure that works as a D&D boss monster or a centrepiece for anyone who wants something demanding to paint. The remaining models cover a range of transformation stages and body types, so the pack reads as individuals at the table rather than a row of identical figures.

The range extends further than the core character pack. The Wolfman Jack is a display piece showing a wolfman mid-transformation, and it's available in five scales (28/32mm through to 75mm), making it a legitimate option for painters who want a serious collector's piece at competition or display scale. There's also a Horse & Carriage model, a lycanthrope-hauled carriage that works as scenery, a mission objective, or gothic set dressing, and a terrain pack (Scenery Miniatures | Worgen) with landscape elements in the same aesthetic. We stock all of these at TabletopXtra alongside the Werewolf Worgen Full Set.

28mm Wolf Miniatures for D&D Campaigns

The Monster Manual werewolf is a CR 3 creature with Pack Tactics and a lycanthropy-spreading bite. That's a mechanic-rich encounter with a lot of table drama built in, and the Worgen set maps to it directly. Use the Chief as the cursed head of a mountain clan, run the full seven as a forest ambush, or give one of the mid-transformation figures to a Shifter PC who wants something to put on the table when the curse kicks in.

Curse of Strahd is the obvious campaign fit. The Svalich Woods werewolf clan is one of Strahd's most underplayed threats, partly because few people bother to model it up properly. Seven painted werewolves change what that encounter can be. A forest ambush hits differently when there are actual models staring down the players.

The full set at £29.99 for seven models at 28/32mm works out to under £4.30 per model, which is reasonable for a dedicated encounter pack.

Which Game Systems Suit Werewolf Minis?

Beyond D&D, the Worgen range suits a wider set of rulesets than you might expect.

Pathfinder 2e: The models work as reference pieces for curse-touched PCs or Werecreature encounters. The mix of transformation stages is directly useful here, since Pathfinder tracks the phases of a lycanthrope curse mechanically.

Frostgrave: Uses wandering monsters and creature encounters throughout its campaign rules. A pack of wolves or werewolves for a night scenario fits the frozen-city setting, and the terrain pack integrates naturally with Frostgrave scenery.

One Page Rules: Age of Fantasy: The rules are model-agnostic. A lycanthrope warband built from the Worgen range makes a distinctive homebrew faction with no conversion required.

For more horror-adjacent minis to pair with these on the table, our Circus of Horrors deep-dive covers Printed Obsession's darker carnival range. The two aesthetics are different enough to contrast well on the same table. Bite the Bullet's range also spans wider than you'd expect; our Fairy Pixie Fantasy write-up covers the opposite end of their tonal range.

About Bite the Bullet

Bite the Bullet are a Spanish duo: Elisa on sculpting, Daniel on supports and social. They release a themed monthly set of 28/32mm resin miniatures alongside painting guides. The Werewolf Worgen set was their May 2022 monthly release and it still holds up against more recent work. Their catalogue runs from gothic horror through to Trench Crusade grimdark; the full back catalogue is on their MyMiniFactory profile.

Painting the Worgen Pack

Grey primer, zenithal highlight from above with white, then a dark wash across the whole model (Nuln Oil or a diluted black-brown mix) gets you a table-ready wolf quickly. To separate flesh from fur, add a warm mid-tone on the muzzle, claws and inner ears. For variety across the pack, run dark charcoal on the Chief and graduate through mid-greys and tawny browns for the rest, so they read as individuals at arm's length.

Bite the Bullet publish painting guides for their monthly sets on YouTube, worth bookmarking when you work through a larger set.
