New from Bite the Bullet: Gate Adventure Miniatures — Fiends and Heroes for Your D&D Table
Every so often a release lands that feels less like a squad and more like a ready-built cast for a campaign, and the Gate Adventure miniatures from Bite the Bullet are exactly that. Thirteen resin characters span saintly paladins, scheming fiends and a couple of properly strange planar oddities, so the set works as much as a story prompt as it does a box of figures. We print the whole range on demand here at TabletopXtra, in UK GBP, and it has quickly become one of our favourite fantasy drops to recommend.
What's in the Gate Adventure set
Gate Adventure is one of Bite the Bullet's themed monthly Full Sets, and the thirteen models lean hard into classic roleplaying archetypes. You get a Tiefling Oathbreaker Paladin, a Human Ranger Berserker, a Masked Warrior and a Human Deathbringer Fighter on the martial side, plus three spellcasters in the Human Harper Wizard and two Human Mage Invokers. Rounding out the heroes are a Githyanki Fighter, a Half-Elf Cleric and an Aasimar Paladin.
The villainous half is where the theme shows its teeth. Three Cambion Devils and the Cambion Sorceress Meliora bring the infernal element, while the Hollyphant and the Spectator Aberration give you two unusual centrepieces. If those names ring a bell, it's because they read like a planar D&D encounter pulled straight off the table, fiends and celestials squaring up across a portal.
Standout models worth printing first
If you're not ready to commit to all thirteen, a few pieces stand out. The Cambion Sorceress Meliora is a lovely characterful sculpt that makes an obvious named villain, and the trio of Cambion Devils give you a matching set of lieutenants or summoned minions without any conversion work. The Hollyphant, a small winged creature with a lot of personality, is the kind of model players remember long after the session, and the Spectator Aberration is a tidy floating-eye horror for any dungeon that needs a guardian.
On the hero side, the Tiefling Oathbreaker Paladin and the Aasimar Paladin are a neat pairing of fallen and faithful, and we think they look especially good printed side by side. Every model in the set is available individually, so you can cherry-pick the ones your table actually needs from around £6.49 each rather than buying blind.
The games and campaigns it suits
With its mix of fiends, celestials and adventurers, Gate Adventure is a natural fit for any fantasy roleplaying game, and Dungeons & Dragons in particular. The cambions, the aasimar and the githyanki are all recognisable planar creature types, so the set is ideal if your campaign is heading somewhere otherworldly and you want NPCs and monsters that match the tone.
It isn't only for RPG nights, though. The heroes make excellent player characters or skirmish-game warband members, and the devils and aberration slot straight into a monster collection for any system that uses 28/32mm fantasy figures. Because we offer the models in several sizes, you can build a consistent set at one scale or pick a larger option for a display piece.
How to get the Gate Adventure miniatures from us
You can order the full thirteen-model bundle or any single character from our Gate Adventure miniatures listing. The complete set is £48.99 at 28/32mm and £56.99 at 35mm, with individual heroes and monsters available from a few pounds each. We also offer 40mm, 54mm and 75mm options on the models that support them, so there's room to scale up a favourite for painting practice or a shelf centrepiece.
Everything is printed to order in grey resin, cleaned, prepped and cured before it reaches you. If you'd like to see more of the studio's work, the wider Bite the Bullet collection runs to hundreds of fantasy and Trench Crusade models, and you can follow the designers themselves over on their MyMiniFactory profile.
