Companion Miniatures for RPG Parties
Companion miniatures add personality to a party and richness to a campaign. They cover everything from familiars and mounts to retainers, sidekicks, and memorable recurring NPCs who deserve a place on the table.
Why this matters
A companion collection works best when it is separated from both player characters and monsters. Shoppers looking for supporting cast pieces usually want something lighter, more specific, and easier to pair with a main character or group.
These miniatures also matter because they help tables tell ongoing stories. A familiar or follower becomes a visual anchor when it returns across sessions.
What to look for
- Choose a companion that complements the main character silhouette instead of fighting it.
- Use companions to reinforce a class fantasy, backstory, or campaign setting.
- Think about scale and base size if the piece will sit beside a hero every session.
- Consider wildlife and worldfolk categories for extra story depth around the table.
Where to start in Vault of Delights
