They recognised one another as children of Grans, a small and tightly knit homeland, and in the foreign land of Belfrie found a bond stronger than either expected. Friendship became romance, then marriage, and for a time the whimsical transmutation professor lived the life he had always hoped magic might grant him.<\/p>\n<p>Love does not come without loss. Seldina contracted an incurable illness only a year after Pepitos received his esteemed position at the university, and the disease claimed her a year later. Pepitos lost his mind on the same day he lost her, though he never stopped teaching. His knowledge remains unrivalled and his lessons remain dutiful, but grief has worn strange paths through the once sharp-witted professor. He still believes she may return\u2014not through necromancy or any dark art, but through a wish made true.<\/p>\n<p>That hope brought Pepitos to the Bastion of the Wandering Mage. He believes some divine architect must stand behind the castle\u2019s shifting halls and impossible machinations, and he entered of his own accord to find the answer. He will not leave until the Bastion reveals what he seeks, no matter how long the search takes or what it costs him. Either the castle will give him his answer, or it will claim his life before he can reunite with Seldina.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"tmq-reveal-head\"><span class=\"kicker\">The set<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bastion of the Wandering Mage is a campaign set of miniatures.

All miniatures sold are unpainted, unless otherwise specified. If you would like us to add free matte black primer to the prints, you can let us know, and they&#8217;ll be ready to paint right out of the box!<\/p>\n<h3>Shipping<\/h3>\n<p>Our models are shipped assembled if they are not too delicate, but are usually separated from the base. Wings and some other parts may also be detached and need to be put together, especially for larger models. To put the pieces together, you could use epoxy putty, super glue, or any strong glue that works for plastics. This is to ensure that none of the delicate pieces break or get damaged during shipping. If you really need pieces glued together, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.<\/p>\n<h3>Free Miniature<\/h3>\n<p>Get a free miniature with your order. No requirements, every order gets one. It will be a random character from our store. If you order multiple minis, you may even get more than one for free! Enjoy.<\/p>\n<h3>Model Scale<\/h3>\n<p>Normal-sized miniatures come in two sizes: 32mm and 75mm, which is the height of the humanoid body, so with the base and other accessories like hats, they will end up being a little taller. 32mm is the standard size if you are playing D&amp;D on a physical battle map.<\/p>\n<p>Larger miniatures are measured by the diameter of their base. Large-sized miniatures usually have a 50mm base, huge-sized ones have a 75mm base, gargantuan ones have a 100-120mm base. For specific measurements on any model, please contact us and we&#8217;ll be happy to give you the exact numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Creation of Miniatures<\/h3>\n<p>These models are made by the fantastic people at DM Stash, and they make incredible models, so please check them out. We are officially licensed to print and sell their models to you, so you can enjoy them too! We print them with an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra resin printer with 16K resolution (the highest quality available). They are printed using Elegoo Standard 3.0 Vanilla coloured resin, an expensive resin that ensures models are strong without compromising on the detail. The supports are cut off, the model is sanded if needed, and inspected to ensure perfection. The model is washed off with pure alcohol, then cured inside an Elegoo ultcuring enclosure, and prepared for printing.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\njQuery(function ($) {\n  var $sum = $(\"div.product .summary\");\n  function tmqMoney(prices) {\n    var raw, minor, n, prefix;\n    if (!prices) {\n      return \"\";\n    }\n    raw = prices.price;\n    minor = prices.currency_minor_unit;\n    if (typeof minor === \"undefined\") {\n      minor = 2;\n    }\n    n = Number(raw);\n    if (isNaN(n)) {\n      return \"\";\n    }\n    prefix = prices.currency_prefix;\n    if (!prefix) {\n      prefix = \"$\";\n    }\n    return prefix + (n \/ Math.pow(10, minor)).toFixed(2);\n  }\n  function tmqVarName(v) {\n    var i, a, attrs, text, idx;\n    attrs = v.attributes;\n    if (attrs) {\n      if (attrs.length) {\n        for (i = 0;
