Dave Arneson and myself hanging out at A Source Event in 2008
Dave Arneson: October 1, 1947 - April 7, 2009
We have lost another giant of gaming my friends. Mr. Dave Arneson has left us, but this world is a much better (and more imaginative) place for Dave having been here with us. Dave and Gary created this game we all love so much. The above picture was taken at the greatest hobby store I have ever been in - The Source, in Falcon Heights, MN. My homebase store and my weekly stop for comics and new games/minis. Dave Arneson stated this was by far one of the best hobby stores in the world (and he has seen quite a few in his time). Dave and I actually started a fun (but short lived) tradition of meeting for lunch every 2-3 weeks over the winter as he moved back to MN to be with his family last year. His stories of the very early days of D&D and Gary starting his favorite reclinder on fire because he fell asleep while smoking on it were indeed fun and something I will fondly remember for the rest of my life. Dave was a big fan of Dark Sword and our award winning miniatures. He was even going to DM two of my gaming groups through an adventure, but we never got around to it as one day he was doing fine and then he took a turn for the worse and then left this world a week or so later. He died peacefully surrounded by family and close friends while in Hospice Care. I attended his wake and it dawned on me while looking down upon his earthly remains that I had almost never seen him without a smile on his face. He looked like a regal Civil War general laying at peace in his coffin. I imagine Dave is sure to look up Gary Gygax, Keith Parkinson, Dennis Mize, Chuck Crane and my daughter Lillian up in heaven to get some "old school gaming" going. Rest in peace my friend. We will raise a glass in your honor at Gen Con Indy this year. You have touched millions of lives and you will be missed by all of us Dave...

Dark Sword Miniatures Inc. was founded with the single purpose of creating extremely detailed fantasy miniatures for both miniature collectors and gamers alike. Our pewter fantasy miniatures are in the newer 28mm to 30mm scale which has become the industry standard. In addition, we think you will be VERY pleased with the subject matter of our first four fantasy miniature lines which will be based on the artwork of Larry Elmore , Keith Parkinson (RIP), Clyde Caldwell & Jeff Easley. All four artists have been gaming industry icons for the past 20 years now and their artwork needs no introduction. Plus, they are just dang cool dudes to hang out with. In addition, Dark Sword Miniatures is also producing premium pewter miniatures based on the works of New York Times best selling author George R.R. Martin. Oh, did we forget to mention that Tom Meier , Dennis Mize (RIP), Dave Summers, Jeff Grace, and Gael Goumon are sculpting these new fantasy miniature lines? These cats are tough to top when it comes to sculpting amazing miniatures that have all sorts of detail just lavished all over them.

Bookmark this Web site and come back often because we will be constantly updating these pages with new information and new pictures of our fantasy miniatures - both painted and of course in pewter.
Take care and enjoy the pewter miniatures!
