Models by Games Workshop tend to be humanoid, including humans, elves, and dwarves.
However, Games Workshop does release some monsters and beasts as model kits, or included within model kits.
This blog post is a list of all the monsters from Games Workshop I could find on the website in 2026.
Defining a "monster" is difficult with a science fantasy and fantasy setting.
I've tried to be relatively complete in this list, but in some cases I've just used one model kit to represent a whole category.
The most obvious example of this is orks.
First of all, are orks monsters?
After all, they're bipedal humanoids.
The spirit of this blog post is to identify scary looking things that would frighten you in a dungeon or on the battlefield, so I do include orks in this list.
However, every version of Warhammer (Fantasy and Old World, 40k, Age of Sigmar) has a whole product line of orks, so I don't list every model kit with an orc, ork, uruk, or uruk-hai in it.
Games Workshop currently has a [page on its web store](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/warhammer-gifts/monsters) dedicated to monsters, but I get the sense that what they really mean is _big models_.
It's a good list of cool models, but it's not as objective as I want.
I've kept this list focused on fantasy creatures because those work in both fantasy and science fantasy settings.
That means I exclude 40k ogryn because they "look" science fiction (they wear modern armour and often carry guns, but to be fair they're not really monstrous in the sense that they're part of the Imperium) but I do list ogres and ogors.
The only orks I list are from fantasy settings.
The only Tyranids I include are the ones without bio-weaponry that look like guns.
There are other examples, but in each case the faction is probably being represented, in some way, so finding a science fiction version of a monster (when one exists) is relatively simple.
Following the sensible example of Games Workshop's old **Fiend Folio**, this list is alphabetical.
## Abominations
A really good monster is one that just can't be classified.
There are actually a lot of those within the Citadel line, but I've generally done my best to classify them.
There are some that defied my best efforts.
* [Hell pit abomination](https://www.warhammer.com/en-WW/shop/Skaven-Hell-Pit-Abomination)
## Badger
See [Gnomes](#Gnomes).
## Balrog
The Balrog from **Lord of the Rings** is so iconic that it deserves its own category, but admittedly the Balrog could also stand in for any generic daemon or magma creature.
* [Balrog](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/The-Balrog-2018)
## Bats
Nothing's spookier, or cooler, than a bat.
Middle-earth has traditional bats, while **Age of Sigmar** has vampires and bat-adjacent creatures that I've classified either as vampires or gargoyles.
* [Gundabad war bats](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Gundabad-War-Bats-2020)
* [Giant bats](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Giant-Bats)
## Bears
In tabletop gaming, I feel like bears are oddly classic fantasy beasts themselves.
Maybe it's the influence of **Magic: The Gathering**, or the terrifying bear cameos in the **12 Monkeys** movie and the **Fallout** video games (as Yao guai.)
An angry bear can make for a great opponent, and Games Workshop has a few on offer.
* [Grim Beorn](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/grimbeorn-2022)
* [Beorn Bear](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Beorn-Bear)
* [Wood Elf Realms Beast Pack](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/wood-elf-realms-beast-pack-2025)
## Birds
Great eagles from Middle-earth and **Age of Sigmar**, war hawks, and a flamespyre phoenix.
Some of these war birds are mounts, and because I don't own any of these kits I don't know how easy it would be to kitbash them to remove the creature riding the bird.

* [Tomb kings Carrion](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/tomb-kings-of-khemri-carrion-2024)
## Boars
Boars are relatively common mounts for some orc and goblin tribes, so boars are often available in cavalry and chariot model kits for those factions.
The Wood Elf Realm Beast Pack also provides a variety of woodland creatures.
The razorgor is a particularly monstrous boar, if you're looking for a scarier than average boar.
* [boar-chariots](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/orc-and-goblin-tribes-orc-boar-chariots-2024)
* [orc-boar-boyz-mob](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/orc-and-goblin-tribes-orc-boar-boyz-mob-2024)

* [Wood Elf Realms Beast Pack](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/wood-elf-realms-beast-pack-2025)
## Centaur
Games Workshop has lots of creatures that are spliced with another creature.
The only "proper" centaur they have is the centigor, which is relatively monstrous or possibly just really angry.
* [Centigor Lord](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/beastmen-brayherds-centigor-lord-2025)
## Chimera
A classic fantasy beast, beautifully realised.
* [Chimera](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/warriors-of-chaos-chimera-2024)
There's also an interesting chimera-like creature called a khimerix from the Necromunda product line.
* [necromunda-escher-khimerix](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/necromunda-escher-khimerix-2021)
## Cockatrice
I love Games Workshop's version of this classic fantasy beast.
I wish they'd just release a whole product line of mythological creatures, because their versions are always so distinctive and yet true to the intent of the source material.
This cockatrice is _not_ just a chicken that turns you to stone.
* [Cockatrice](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/beastmen-brayherds-cockatrice-2025)
## Daemons
There's no shortage of daemons in the Warhammer setting.
There are so many daemons in the Warhammer settings, in fact, that you have four separate sub-factions within the daemons faction to choose from.
Some daemons (like pink horrors and blue horrors) are pretty distinctive, but others are comfortably generically horrific.
Easily one of the most versatile model lines that Games Workshop sells, daemons are useful in pretty much any game setting.

## Dinosaurs and big reptiles
Games Workshop has a huge range of big reptiles.
As is often the case, all of these have riders, or even chariots.

## Dragons
Games Workshop has a good variety of dragons, and some stunning models.
There's even an underwater dragon ("merwyrm").
Some have mounts, while others exist independent of a rider.

* [middle-earth-war-drakes-of-rhun](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/middle-earth-war-drakes-of-rhun-2025)
## Elephant
There's one elephant (or Mûmak, in this case) to choose from.
The [War of the Rohirrim](https://mixedsignals.ml/games/blog_review-war-of-the-rohirrim-campaign-book) campaign book contains a tutorial on how to convert this model into a rabid mumak.
* [War Mûmak of Harad](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/War-Mumak-Of-Harad-2018)
## Eldritch horrors and tentacles
Tyranids are alien horrors to inspire terror and require sanity checks.
A perfect marriage of HP Lovecraft and HR Giger, these alien menaces are often on my gaming table as aliens or as vile manifestations of elder gods (depending on what I'm playing.)
Many of the best tyranids are large an imposing, but I use the small Neurogaunts to menace adventuring parties in dungeons.
The whole tyranid line is worth a look, although some of them do wield actual weapons, which is a fun peculiarity of the faction in 40k but also pretty specific to tyranid lore.
If you're using the models as a generic horror, then those with just claws and psychic nerve centres are your probably your best bet.
Middle-earth provides the watcher in the water, a malevolent creature driven from the mines of Moria by, presumably, the Balrog.
You could try to gang up on it, but it's probably got at least one tentacle to counter each model attacking it.
The Talos engine from 40k has some tech on it, but I think it's believable as eldritch steampunk, too.

## Elementals and effects
Some miniatures aren't monsters as such, but represent a spell effect or some supernatural or aberrant force.
I'm cheating with this category, and have included some model kits that are explicitly not a spell effect (a Tzeentch daemon being the most egregious example) but I'm imagining how these might be used broadly, even outside of Warhammer.
I think most of these miniatures could be used as a summoned creature or as an indicator of a persistent spell.
This isn't a complete list of all the "endless spells" available from Games Workshop, but they're the ones that felt the most generic or mysterious to me.

* [flamers-of-tzeentch](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/flamers-of-tzeentch-2017)
## Fox
See [Gnomes](#Gnomes).
## Frogs and turtles
Games Workshop has a long history of froggy critters (consider the bullywug and slaad, both developed by Games Workshop for **Fiend Folio** back in the 1980s).
They still pop up every now and again, and I was able to find 3 kits.

* [Lord Kroak](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Lord-Kroak-2021)
## Gargoyle
Big beasts with wings that aren't quite bats or vampires, nor dragons or dinosaurs.

* [gulavhar-the-terror-of-arnor](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/gulavhar-the-terror-of-arnor-2024)
## Ghouls
See [Zombies](#Zombies).
## Giants
Games Workshop doesn't offer many giants, but those that they have are really good.
For the most part, Warhammer giants are generic "hill giant" type creatures rather than, say, a noble race living high in the clouds, or warriors in the mountains.
The exception is an undead giant from the Tomb Kings faction.
There are more giant bipedal creatures in the trees and plants section.

* [tomb-kings-of-khemri-necrolith-colossus](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/tomb-kings-of-khemri-necrolith-colossus-2024)
## Goblin
The distinction between an orc and a goblin is something every fantasy setting must establish on its own.
Generally, there's a consensus that goblins are small and orcs are big.
Within Games Workshop, the Warhammer goblin is cartoon-ish and not very terrifying to look at.
Middle-earth goblins look more formidable.
I own 12 Moria goblins, and I get a lot of use out of them across lots of different game systems.
The Goblin-town goblins are, like most everything developed for Peter Jackson's **The Hobbit**, _puzzling_.

* [goblin-king-and-retinue](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/goblin-king-and-retinue-2025)
## Gnomes
You can get a badger, a goose, and a fox, and a bunch of gnomes from **Blood Bowl**.
According to the photos on the Games Workshop site, you can build the fox with or without a football in its mouth.
This looks like a pretty fun kit, and it makes me want to run a gnome campaign as an excuse to buy it.
* [blood-bowl-gnome-team](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/blood-bowl-gnome-team-2024)
## Griffons and gryph hounds
A gryph hound in **Age of Sigmar** is a hound with the head of an eagle.
They might work as a pack of low-level enemies, but more likely are destined to be companions or familiars.
I have a gryph hound model, and it's a beautiful sculpt and easy to paint, and mechanically it's a convenient reminder of bonus abilities during a game.
There's just something about having a physical object you have to track that keeps extra rules top of mind.
A griffon is a horse with the head of an eagle.
They're predictably used as mounts.

* [General-of-the-empire-on-imperial-griffon](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/general-of-the-empire-on-imperial-griffon-2024)
## Gyrinx
A gyrinx is an alien cat.
It's not exactly a monster, although it does have psychic abilities.
In the Yvraine model kit, the gyrinx is a separate model entirely, so no kitbashing is required to build it separately from Yvraine herself.
* [aeldari-yvraine](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/aeldari-yvraine-2022)
## Harpies
In a classic case of unreliable narration, I think if an adventurer saw flying [witch ælves](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Daughters-Of-Khaine-Witch-Aelves-2018) descending upon them from the sky, they'd probably describe them later (assuming they survive the encounter) as harpies.

* [Krethusa the Croneseer](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/daughters-of-khaine-krethusa-the-croneseer-2024)
## Hobgoblin
This keeper of the Dol Guldur dungeon in Middle-earth is presumably actually an uruk-hai, but the sculpt is very distinctive and I think he looks different to the typical orcs in other kits.
I'm classifying him as a hobgoblin, if for no other reason than variety.
* [Keeper-Of-The-Dungeons](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Keeper-Of-The-Dungeons-2020)
## Hounds and flesh hounds
I own the [Farmer Maggot](https://mixedsignals.ml/games/blog_review-citadel-farmer-maggot) model kit and am very happy with him and his hounds.
They're metal, but the hounds especially are gorgeous sculpts.
The "flesh hounds" are barely hounds, with one being essentially a Games Workshop version of Cerberus, which is great if you're looking for fantasy monsters.

## Insects
Every one of these has a mount, so the standard "you might have to kitbash this" disclaimer would apply, were you buying the kit just for the critter.
I think the plague drone of Nurgle is a dead ringer for Fallout bloat flies (but for its enormous size.)

* [plague-drones-of-nurgle](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/plague-drones-of-nurgle-2017)
## Jabberslythe
The Jabberslythe could pass as a daemon, but it's actually more in line with folk horror.
The design is distinctive enough to warrant its own category, I think.
* [beastmen-brayherds-jabberslythe](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/beastmen-brayherds-jabberslythe-2025)
## Leshy (magical rams and goats)
These are all magical ram-like mounts, sometimes approximating a gazelle.
I don't know how easy it would be to kitbash any of these to remove its rider, because I don't own any of these kits.

## Lizardfolk
I like lizard people as enemies in any setting.
The Seraphon in **Age of Sigmar** are a full line of lizard warriors, including the goblin-like skinks, infantry, warriors, cavalry (lizards riding other lizards into battle), and even a siege engine called the Spawn of Chotec.
There's no shortage of lizard people in the Mortal Realms.

Another classic fantasy creature, with 2 kits to choose from.

## Minotaurs and beastmen
Thanks to the beastmen faction in Warhammer, there are lots of bull-men model kits.
There are characters and commanders you could use as the classic singular Minotaur, and also a whole army of beastmen if you want lots of them.

## Nosferatu
In modern fantasy, a _nosferatu_ tends to be an elder vampire that's regressed, through aging and ever-growing power, to a bat-human hybrid form.
Some of the vampires and ghouls from Games Workshop are difficult to classify, so I'm sorting them on visual impressions rather than Warhammer lore.
I love Games Workshop vampire models and would definitely own more of them if I ran more undead campaigns.
For elegant courtly versions of blood-drinking undead, see the [Vampire](#Vampire) entry.

## Octopus
Games Workshop makes an octopus, and from the sprue it looks like it would actually be easy to build the octopus separate from the human figure of Lotann.
* [Lotann-Warden-Of-The-Soul-Ledgers](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Lotann-Warden-Of-The-Soul-Ledgers-2018)
## Ogre
Games Workshop has wildly varying interpretations, or variations, on the ogre.
The models include traditional Middle-earth ogres, grumpy and very stout gnomes, dragon ogre hybrids, and steampunk-y skaven "ogors".
Each iteration probably deserves its own classification, but I'm grouping them together here to make them all easy to find.

* [blood-bowl-kreek-the-verminator-rustgouger](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/blood-bowl-kreek-the-verminator-rustgouger-2021)
## Orc
Games Workshop has, more or less, 3 distinct model lines for fantasy orcs: Old World, Age of Sigmar, and Middle-earth.
The classic Warhammer ork is stylized and wonderfully distinctive.
* [orc-goblin-tribes-classic-orc-big-uns](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/orc-goblin-tribes-classic-orc-big-uns-2024)
* [spearhead-orruk-warclans-ironjawz-bigmob](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/spearhead-orruk-warclans-ironjawz-bigmob-2025)
The Middle-earth orcs feel a little more generic and, I think, sometimes a little too human.
I personally prefer the Mordor Uruk-hai within the Middle-earth line.
* [Mordor-Uruk-hai](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Mordor-Uruk-hai-2020)
* [Hunter-Orcs](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Hunter-Orcs-2018)
* [Uruk-hai-Warriors](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Uruk-hai-Warriors-2018)
## Panthers
Is that a panther? Lynx? Bobcat?
Anyway, it's a big cat, and you can get 3 in the Wood Elf Realms Beast Pack.
I wish there were more beast packs like this one.
It would solve (or create, from a player's perspective) all my monster problems!
* [Wood Elf Realms Beast Pack](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/wood-elf-realms-beast-pack-2025)
## Pegasus
Winged horses unsurprisingly are sold with a rider.
I don't any of these kits, so I'm not sure whether any have the option to build without the rider.

* [kingdom-of-bretonnia-battle-standard-on-royal-pegasus](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/kingdom-of-bretonnia-battle-standard-on-royal-pegasus-2024)
## Ratfolk
In the Warhammer fantasy settings, ratfolk are a famous faction of creatures that call themselves Skaven.
They serve a similar function to goblins in the Pathfinder setting, or Kobolds in D&D.
Powered by Wyrd energy, they cobble together Steampunk-style war engines and biological experiments that probably never work quite as intended and yet manage to deal twice the damage as expected.
The line includes the regular infantry ratfolk, sorcerers, and big mutated rat ogres.
* [Skaven](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/spearhead-skaven-2024)
## Scarecrow
There are lots of silly Halloween miniatures in the Necromantic Horror Team for **Blood Bowl**.
That includes 2 pumpkin-headed scarecrows.
* [Blood-Bowl-Necromantic-Horror-Team](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Blood-Bowl-Necromantic-Horror-Team-2020)
## Seahorse
Great big seahorses appear in **Age of Sigmar**.
They have riders, but that seems appropriate for a giant seahorse.
I really admire the Idoneth Deepkin faction and the Ethersea as a solution for an underwater themed army without all the trouble of getting player characters to actually go underwater.

* [Volturnos-High-King-Of-The-Deep](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Volturnos-High-King-Of-The-Deep-2018)
## Shark
There's a shark in the **Age of Sigmar** Idoneth Deepkin range.
* [Idoneth-Deepkin-Akhelian-Allopex](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Idoneth-Deepkin-Akhelian-Allopex-2018)
## Scorpion
As painted by the 'Eavy Metal team, this undead scorpion has a vaguely steampunk or at least undead look about it.
I think you could paint it differently and get a different feel.
Either way, a giant scorpion is a great enemy to have around for fantasy games or as a radscorpion in a **Fallout** game session.
* [Scorpion](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/tomb-kings-of-khemri-tomb-scorpion-2024)
## Skeleton
Animated skeletons are a whole faction in both **Warhammer** (Tomb Kings) and **Age of Sigmar** (Ossiarch Bonereapers), so there's a lot to choose from when populating a dungeon or battlefield with the undead.
Both are pretty stylized, so there's not exactly a generic skeleton warrior in the old style of **HeroQuest**, for example, but the Skeleton Warriors from the Old World makes an excellent horde you could add to any necromancer's retinue.

## Snakes, eels, and serpentfolk
There are a few serpents available (for both land and sea), plus some serpentfolk.
I've also included skeletal serpents from the Tomb Kings faction, even though arguably those ought to be in the undead section.
As with basically everything that Games Workshop produces, the serpentfolk here are highly specific to their setting, and it's hard to imagine them unleashed anywhere but in the Mortal Realms.
But then again, to someone unfamiliar with **Age of Sigmar**, they just look like really terrifying naga.

## Spiders
Spiders are scary to some, and big spiders are even scarier.
Middle-earth provides both spider model kits available from Games Workshop.
* [spiders-of-middle-earth](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/spiders-of-middle-earth-2021)
* [the-path-of-cirith-ungol-shelob-and-gollum](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/the-path-of-cirith-ungol-shelob-and-gollum-2026)
## Stags
Games Workshop provides one stag, mounted by an elf, that looks pretty much like a normal woodland stag, and then another for the Beastmen faction that's pure folk horror.
* [wood-elf-realms-wood-elf-noble-on-stag](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/wood-elf-realms-wood-elf-noble-on-stag-2025)
* [beastmen-brayherds-preyton](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/beastmen-brayherds-preyton-2025)
## Trees and plants
Games Workshop has a surprising number of tree folk to choose from.
Without getting into the precise lore, the Sylvaneth faction in the Mortal Realms has living trees as well as spirits that animate trees, and there are even small infantry dryad options as well.
Middle-earth of course features several ent models, including Treebeard himself.

## Trolls
Games Workshop's selection of trolls is possibly their most stylistically unified cross-section of creature types.
All the trolls feel like they're from the same _trollverse_, regardless of whether the model was designed for Warhammer fantasy, **Age of Sigmar**, or Middle-earth.
You might think it's because a troll is a troll, but I'd have said the same about an orc or a dragon, too.
These trolls work great separately or together, and the variations in design only seem to add to a hidden canon.
The troll hag is the spellcaster, the snow troll is the commander, the Mordor troll is the commander, and then there's infantry and trolls-of-burden and trolls-as-siege-engines.
I'd never really noticed the trolls of Citadel much before, but now that I've looked at them up close I think they might be one of my favourite Citadel monsters.
I can almost imagine running a whole campaign with nothing but trolls as monsters.

## Turtle
It's actually a Leviadon in Warhammer lore, and it's big.
* [Idoneth-Deepkin-Akhelian-Leviadon](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Idoneth-Deepkin-Akhelian-Leviadon-2018)
## Undead
I've got lots of undead in this list,
https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/Blood-Bowl-Necromantic-Horror-Team-2020
## Unicorn
A classic fantasy beast, and a fantastic sculpt.
This is a resin kit, so probably no kitbashing, but why would you even want to?
This is perfect.
* [kingdom-of-bretonnia-lady-elisse-duchaard](https://www.warhammer.com/en-NZ/shop/kingdom-of-bretonnia-lady-elisse-duchaard-2024)
## Vampire
Vampires in the Mortal Realms are full of character and style that's familiar yet wholly distinctive to Games Workshop.
Searching for "vampire" on the web store brings up plenty to choose from, and each one would make a formidable foe.
Count Luthor von Drakenborg is absolutely a stand-in the classic Dracula archetype, but there are lots more to choose from, and I haven't even included them all here because they're so easy to find on the wob store (search for "vampire.")
I'm classifying [nosferatu](#Nosferatu) separately, in the modern "humanoid bat" sense.
I own the Karlina von Carstein model, and would own more of them if I ran vampire campaigns more than once a year.

## Werewolves
There aren't many models for outright werewolves from Games Workshop, although there's a fair amount of wolf themes.
The most classic interpretation of werewolves are the Werewolves of Angmar kit for Middle-earth.
Of course a werewolf is ultimately just a wolf, and Games Workshop does have several [wolves and wargs](#wolves-and-wargs) on offer.

The most bizarre interpretation of werewolves are the skin wolves, which are wolves _wearing_ strips of human skin.

There's also a very classic wolfman-style werewolf in the Necromantic Horror kit for Blood Bowl, which might seem silly but a little paint I think it could look more terrifying than sporty.

## Wolves and wargs
Games Workshop has a good selection of wolves and wargs.
The Dire Wolves and Fell Wargs kits are probably the most obvious collection of canine terrors, but wolves also appear in many orc and goblin kits as mounts.

## Wraith
There are so many names for undead ethereal creatures: Ghosts, ghasts, gheists, poltergheist, shades, spirits, wraiths, wights.
Whatever you call them, Games Workshop essentially has two product lines for ghostly monsters.
There are the nighthaunts of the Mortal Realms and the various undead creatures of Middle-earth.
The greatest variety, I think, is in Middle-earth, where you get ghosts that are wholly ethereal as well as ghosts in armour, and ghosts in black robes, and ghosts on fell beasts, and the necromancer himself.
Either way, there are whole armies of ghosts in both, so you can get a bunch in one box, and you'll have a well-populated haunted house (or dungeon or battlefield) in no time.

There's a silly and classic ghost (complete with socks hanging from its attached clothesline) in the Necromantic Horror Team for **Blood Bowl**.

## Zombies
Warhammer doesn't have a "classic" George Romero zombie.
There's [Zombicide](https://mixedsignals.ml/games/blog_5-reasons-every-wargamer-needs-zombicide) for that, anyway.
What Warhammer does have is some seriously monstrous undead, in the form of pox wretches and flesh eaters.
As you'd expect, they mostly come in hordes.

There are also some zombies, and what could arguably be a Frankenstein-type monster, in the Necromantic Horror Team for **Blood Bowl**.
They're painted to look like they're playing a game of American football, but I think with some drab colours they'd look like undead that just wandered in from a nearby battlefield.

## This is an incomplete list
As much as I appreciate Wizkids and Wargames Atlantic and other miniature companies for producing cheap miniatures, there's really nothing like a Citadel miniature even when all you need is a lowly monster to harass your gaming group with.
I've left things off this list, and anyway the list is only current as of 2026.
Games Workshop produces new miniatures often, and they've been producing miniatures for a long time.
This list hopefully collects some interesting options.
