Ronin Arts Workshop UK: Werewolves, Medusa Sisters and 28mm Fantasy Minis

Most miniature studios pick a niche and stick with it. Ronin Arts Workshop UK takes a different approach: their monthly RAW releases cover distinct themes from one release to the next, so the catalogue holds shapeshifting werewolves with dual sculpts, a separate gorgon character trio, and a large arm of resin display statues, all under one studio. We stock the Ronin Arts Workshop UK range at TabletopXtra, printed in high-resolution resin. What follows is a full rundown of what's in the catalogue and what each part of the range is designed for.

The RAW Release Format

Ronin Arts Workshop names their releases after the month they were designed: RAW April, RAW May 22, RAW June 22. Each release is a themed set with its own character designs rather than an expansion of a shared setting. That format means the range doesn't have the internal consistency you'd get from a single campaign world, but it does give you diverse themes across a manageable set of releases rather than dozens of variations on the same faction or aesthetic.

The studio also runs two distinct product lines separately: the 28/32mm playable character releases and a display statue collection. The two have different design priorities and different customers, and it's worth knowing which you're shopping from before diving in.

Dual-Form Werewolves: RAW June 22

The RAW June 22 release is the most mechanically interesting part of the playable character catalogue. The set centres on two characters: Lucano, a berserker fighter, and Nadia, an archer. Both have a human form and a wolf form sculpted as separate miniatures, so you can swap between them at the table when the character transforms.

The wolf forms are designed as distinct sculpts rather than a repose of the human form. Lucano in human form (£7.49) is a heavily built melee fighter with an axe. Nadia in human form (£7.49) is an archer character. The wolf forms, Lucano wolf (£7.99) and Nadia wolf (£7.99), are each sold individually. If you want both forms of the same character, Lucano both forms (£12.99) and Nadia both forms (£12.99) are the more practical purchase, saving a couple of pounds versus buying the two separately.

In D&D 5e or Pathfinder, lycanthrope characters and werewolf encounters come up often enough that the miniature logistics are worth thinking through. Most groups either ignore the physical transformation at the table or swap in a generic wolf sculpt that looks nothing like the player character. The June 22 set is designed to fix that: two named characters, each available in their human and wolf state, so the swap on the table actually reflects what's happening in the fiction.

The Wolf Pack (£11.99) and Werewolf Pack (£19.99) extend the release beyond the two main characters. The RAW June 22 Full Set (£38.99) brings the complete release together in one purchase.

Medusa Sisters: RAW May 22

RAW May 22 is a three-character gorgon and snakekin release. The trio are Sasskia (£12.99), Scerastya (£15.99), and Scynthia (£12.99). All three are available together as the Medusa Sisters set at £12.99. The sculpts are serpentine humanoid designs with snake features and detailed upper forms that sit clearly in gorgon territory. They work as D&D medusa encounter pieces, yuan-ti characters, or player character sculpts in campaigns where snakekin races are a playable option.

All three are at 28/32mm, which means they scale against standard player character miniatures on 1-inch bases. Scerastya is priced a couple of pounds above the other two at £15.99, which likely reflects a more complex sculpt. The three characters are distinctly sculpted rather than variations on the same base, so buying the full trio gives you named-character variety rather than palette swaps. For groups running yuan-ti factions or snake-themed content, that distinction matters: you can differentiate the characters at the table rather than relying on paint alone.

RAW April: Rogue and Sharpshooter

RAW April introduces two RPG character sculpts at a lower price point: Gramal the Rogue (£6.49) and Tshuk the Sharpshooter (£6.49), covering the rogue and ranger-adjacent archetypes. Both also have American Football costume variants at the same price: alternate sculpts of the same characters in sports uniform, which work for players running fantasy sports campaigns or looking for something different on the board.

At £6.49 each, these are the lowest entry price in the Ronin Arts Workshop range. For anyone equipping a full party on a tighter budget, or picking up a quick character sculpt without a larger commitment, the RAW April pieces are a practical starting point.

The Display Statue Collection

Running alongside the playable character releases is a separate collection of resin display statues. These are not scaled game miniatures: they're collector and display pieces, designed for painting and visual impact rather than tabletop use. The range runs to more than 30 pieces at £12.99 each, covering fantasy and anime-inspired character designs. The aesthetic leans towards Japanese-influenced sculpts, with pieces like Kisari Karasu, Lady Shura, and Cyberpunk Oni Lynn among the named designs, alongside the Goblin Duchess Amelia Oxton and a broader range of fantasy and sci-fi characters.

The display pieces are painter pieces first. The detail level on faces and clothing rewards careful work, and they're designed to be viewed from the front rather than surrounded by other models on a gaming table. For hobbyists who paint for display and collect finished pieces rather than using them in games, the RAW display range has substantial variety within a consistent aesthetic.

We've covered the Ronin Arts Workshop display range in more detail in our pin-up miniatures UK guide, which places these pieces alongside Gaz Minis and Torrida Minis for comparison. The display arm and the playable character arm serve different needs entirely, so if you're coming to the range specifically for painting and display, that guide is a more useful starting point.

What Game Systems Do These Miniatures Work With?

The RAW June 22 werewolf set suits any D&D 5e or Pathfinder group where lycanthropy is a factor in play: as a PC condition, a recurring NPC character, or a creature encounter. The dual sculpts address the transformation question specifically, and the 28/32mm scale means they fit on standard bases without any conversion needed. For groups running shapeshifter or lycanthrope characters as a central campaign element, the both-forms bundles give you the two miniatures you actually need rather than just the creature form.

The Medusa Sisters from RAW May 22 cover gorgon and serpentine humanoid encounters across most fantasy RPG systems. D&D medusa encounters, yuan-ti characters, and homebrew snakekin races all map onto the three sculpts. Having three distinct characters in the same thematic set is useful if you're running an ongoing faction rather than a single boss encounter: the named, varied sculpts read differently at the table from a set of identical minis.

The RAW April characters, Gramal and Tshuk, are versatile enough for general D&D and Pathfinder use. At £6.49 each, they're accessible for filling out a party of six or picking up a last-minute sculpt for a new player without a large outlay.

The full Ronin Arts Workshop UK range at TabletopXtra covers the RAW April character pair, the RAW May 22 Medusa Sisters, the complete RAW June 22 werewolf shapeshifter set, and the display statue collection. Prices start at £6.49 for individual character sculpts and go up to £38.99 for the RAW June 22 Full Set. All pieces are printed in high-resolution resin and dispatched from the UK.

The dual-form concept behind the June 22 release is rare in the 28/32mm market. Most studios that cover werewolf themes produce one wolf sculpt without a matched human form. Getting both forms of both characters, designed as pairs from the start, is a specific design decision that makes the range more practical for groups that actually play lycanthrope characters rather than just encounter them as monsters.
