OSR Review & Commentary On Children of the Wolf (Cardstock Characters™) With Artwork By Bob Greyvenstein For Any Rpg Campaign

 " Shapeshift, howl at the moon, and run with the pack!

This beautiful set of highly-detailed cardstock miniatures by renowned fantasy artist Bob Greyvenstein contains 10 unique figures, variants for four of them, and horizontally-flopped versions of all of them to provide additional variety (for a total of 28 different miniatures), as well as corresponding tokens for use online and with virtual tabletops. All of the miniatures are provided in two sizes, standard c. 28-30 mm scale and large 54 mm scale (2"). " 


This set includes: 

● Three powerful-looking Werewolves (one with a weapon-carrying variant); 

● Four different Wolves (some more-or-less monstrous than the others); 

● Three wolf-hooded people, in both armed and unarmed versions (which can be used variously as berserkers, Ulfhednar, cultists, or Human forms of the Werewolves); and, 

● A ZIP folder with 40 tokens (10 different images in four colors each). 

These miniatures are suitable for use with any fantasy, horror, modern, or science fiction roleplaying games or wargames. We hope you love them! " 

Children of the Wolf (Cardstock Characters™) With Artwork By Bob Greyvenstein is one of those rpg products I didn't know I needed. Published by Skirmisher Games, Childen of the Wolf has eleven pages of paper mini's that are perfectly aimed at any OSR or even horror game such as Werewolf The Apocalpyse. There's just enough figures  here to keep things interesting with three powerful half wolf/half human werewolves, there are also four different wolve forms and this allows the players or the DM to mix and match the wolve forms as they want. 
The artwork is quite nice by 
Bob Greyvenstein on the figures and these guys are perfect for a D&D style game or a horror themed game.  One where Werewolve PC and NPC take centerstage. And hence where these figures can shine! 

Because of the variety of material at use here the three wolf-hooded people, in both armed and unarmed versions (which can be used variously as berserkers, Ulfhednar, cultists, or Human forms of the Werewolves) could be important NPC's or stand in's for PC's. The artwork here is solidly done.
For the world's most popular fantasy game these werewolves make excellent cultists for some Chaotic wolf god or other horror. I would not want to have these figures on my PC's tail. Given the amount of Lovecraftian cults and other horror seen in both OSR & D&D style games Children of the Wolf (Cardstock Characters™)  is a worth investiment for a DM whose in need for low cost alternatives to miniatures whose prices  do seem to be skyrocketing ever upward.
