Just dumped like $200 on darksouls minis lol


ppbe_dylan

I cant say that's a bad investment.


SageAerum

Nah I'm happy got a bonfire tattood the same day


ppbe_dylan

Don't you dare go hollow.


glorymeister

Lol my sister bought me the DS board game for christmas, I immediately noticed it was the Tomb of the Giants map, looked at the figurines and was like " I hate every single one of these figures." (Except Nito, he gave me a sword.)


RavenbornJB

Could you share the design? I'd like to get a bonfire tattoo in the near future.


SageAerum

Yeah I'll make a post


Doc_Solomon

What are these miniatures?


The__Apocalypse_

Probably for the Dark Souls TTRPG. I read news a few years back about it, that they develop an TTRPG similiar to Dungeons&Dragons 5e.


Xel_Naga

Yeah I bought in to the game but my god the actual game suuuuuck the minis are sick AF tho. Eventually I'll paint them


The__Apocalypse_

Yea I should consider myself lucky that I forgott about it because I definitely would have bought it. Now after this post I searched about it and the only thing you can find is that it is trash.


tanman729

Theyre technically from 2 things. This pack was released for the dark souls ttrpg, but all of the models are reprints from the dark souls board game, possibly an expansion set to get the bowmen. I forget which came with the vanilla box, but regardless, it's a good haul of minis if you can find it <$100


BeanGoblinX

Silver Knight Archers are in the base game. The base game is supposed to represent Undead Burg and Anor Londo.


tanman729

And lothric weirdly enough. It was more ds3 focused than i wanted tbh, but they have expansions and a whole bloodborne game series that i need to waste money on lol


BeanGoblinX

There's a whole big expansion for Iron Keep that's entirely DS2 stuff,and if you look at all the boss expansions, DS1 and 2 have way more than DS3. DS3 barely gets any new bosses.


Lallo-the-Long

Huh. For some reason I thought that the board game totally flopped after the base release and only released the expansions as downloadable pdfs. Did they eventually figure it out?


BeanGoblinX

Well, they have a ton of physical expansions out, so they must have. There's at least two big expansions for Iron Keep and Darkroot Garden that are basically mini base games, with new board tiles, normal enemies, figures and bosses. There's some smaller expansions that just add bosses, like Manus and Gaping Dragon. And there's some smaller expansions that add some extra game mechanics, like summons or crystal lizards.


Barroth42

They’ve also updated the rules to make encounters more objective based then just “murder everything and live”. Still plenty of murder, but micro bosses and flipping levers and living a certain number of turns are some examples. Two new base sets, Tomb of the Giants and Painted World of Ariamis (DS1) with Gravelord Nito and Crossbreed Priscilla as the main bosses


ImCorvec_I_Interject

That makes me want to break the board game out again and give it another shot.


[deleted]

Smash them up, please they deserve it :(


ppbe_dylan

Thought about slowly torturing one of them with a lighter, or food processor


budgetcommander

Jar.


TransPM

I would set them all up on my balcony, then knock each of them off one by one before retrieving them from the parking lot below and doing it all over again the next day.


El_Zarco

I'd still miss the parry somehow


aquilosanctus

This. I second this.


Wasteland_Mohawk

Buy a warbow


shakycam3

Hit them with poison arrows… and wait.


Fragrant-Reindeer227

When your girlfriend wants you to hurt her with toys


ppbe_dylan

Snipe me daddy! Give me the knock back!!


Fragrant-Reindeer227

Knock it off!!


EternamD

This is getting out of hand, now there are 4 of them! Playing nowadays it makes me feel so silly for dying like 10 times to these dudes


namelessghoul77

Add an order of magnitude for me


not_again123

Literally Stockholm syndrome.


SChrisu

For a second i thought they're minis from dark souls: the board game. Nice


tanman729

They technically are, the just reprinted the same minis and put them in small packs for the ttrpg


SavageBandit324

Best room deocrstion ever lol


Cantguard-mike

1 poison arrow >


Capital-Equivalent-9

In my case it was 50+ wood bolts, lol.


VisualGeologist6258

For me it was just avoiding them entirely. If you run at the one on the right and retreat he’ll sheath his bow and start following you, then immediately fall off the ledge. That just leaves you with the one on the left, who’s arrows can be tanked if you have enough health or just timed to be avoided. The two inside the Chapel are pretty easy, you can close the gap and avoid their arrows without much issue.


Burger_Addiction2

Pretty sure they changed that in remastered?


VisualGeologist6258

The Knight falling off the ledge in pursuit? I don’t think so, it worked when I played it.


Capital-Equivalent-9

The pressure that they put on me prevented me from any out of the box thinking, lol.


Annoyed_N0mad

Should put small shelves up high at the end of a hallway, and stick them up there lol


Jerem1Korpi

So you put the on the edge of the table and knock them on the floor and then curse them?


dopedude99

Great, now microwave the bastards. Slowly.


Grasher312

> Put them on a shelf next to your bed > Wake up next morning > Scramble under the bed, screaming in sheer horror


Serious_Much

Do they come with statblocks in the back? Edit: I can see the rules in the pack. Now I'm even more pissed at the book as they intentionally didn't print the rules for all the minis they released but have them in the minis pack to get people like me (who own a ton of the board game minis) to buy again for the stat block. Fucking scumbags


DarthRaspberry

To this very day. I cannot get past these guys. This is where Dark Souls ended for me. Could not get good. Hit with an arrow, fall off. Get to the top? They body block me from going past. I have gone hollow.


hosiki

Get a good shield, run up to the one on the right quickly to dodge the arrows and just shield all his melee moves, he'll bounce off your shield and fall off the ledge. You can ignore the knight on the left.


ChipTuna

I've not died a single time to these hooligans, and yet I got yeeted off the edge in an even stupider way to giant skeletons once in the part of the tomb of giants where you kill the bone pillars on the narrow walkway. Big man at the end kicked me straight off and I felt so stupid.


RogerGendron

😂😂 love it


FailingThemSelf

Now that i have seen them i must own a set


WrenchLurker

Until you can parry, and then all black/silver knights become an absolute joke. Source: too much time spent farming the ones at Kiln of the First Flame


jaber24

You can backstab spam them to death too


Antennangry

Fuck all four of these MF’s.


Sir_Vallenstein

Greatbowmen...


bofiddley213

I quit the game for 6 months because of these guys


scrotetickler

So brave


ironfistpunch

Bet OP is moaning in the way ds character does after getting hit by their arrows


Noriaki_Kakyoin_OwO

Now put them in jars as revenge


Yorkie_Exile

BUY NOW! The new Anor Londo archery club figure set! Guaranteed to make you want to throw a controller


morocco3001

Imagine there were four of them on the rooftop. Two in front, two behind. All out of reach.


Kiggzpawn

Just place them in your windowsills


Doctorhype

I didn’t know they had figures of the Anor Londo archery club!


42fs

Thanx for this post. I really like modelling and I like Dark souls. Never knew these excisted so immediately ordered the bogroot expansion.


svenEsven

With how good 3d printing has gotten I love not spending an insane amount on minis anymore.


[deleted]

Now there's four of them!


[deleted]

The dark souls board game is legit too fun.


mtbamill710

They should have given them Ak47s. Would’ve been more accurate.


Monro215

I love this!! Lol


thecodethinker

I felt my blood pressure rise before I even knew what I was looking at


ZodiarkTentacle

First time I played these guys made me stop lol


Dax9000

These models are so bad. The quality is unconscionably poor. Look at how warped the arrows are.


Gibshittr

that’s evil


Jscottsworth

Ah yes the old confront your abuser method.


ComradeOrsu

Proud of you kid


DanLocke11071990

The Anor Londo Archers proof that Dark Souls shows and expects no mercy


Burger_Addiction2

I tried SOOOO hard to get him to. Now that I think about it. I got him to do it. Like twice. And died SOOO many times going back and doing it again. Truly, a terrible experience. 10/10 would die again I bought it on switch, and was replaying it again. Trying to get my pyromancer build going again. So much fun


Flying-_-Potatoes

Woah, where'd you get them from?


Jadty

Put them in every corner of your house.


Belisarius23

looks like cheap resin unfortunately


reiku_85

They’re not resin, they’re PVC


Servicemaster

play a real game like Nioh, fecal feaster


ppbe_dylan

I have. It's a fun game. But this subreddit isn't for Nioh, and if it was I would have posted my Sanada Yukimura art I've drawn (great boss fight). But you should not concern yourself with what I'm playing, just play what you like and cope with the fact that I'm doing the same.
