Bestiarum Games has pulled its entire Halls of Suffering range onto one page, including free 5E encounters and grimdark STLs that can proxy into 40k and AoS.
Sure, free rules are great, but the miniatures are what’ll keep you scrolling. Bestiarum Games has gathered all their encounters, terrain, bosses, and factions onto one landing page called the Halls of Suffering, so you don’t have to hunt through a dozen different store pages to see the whole range.
Bestiarum has been on our radar for a while. Anyone who’s looked through our roundups of alternative miniatures or our running list of third-party alternatives for Warhammer 40k has probably seen the name before.
This range goes hard on dark fantasy horror, with models you can print at home and free 5E encounters that let you try the setting before buying anything. That’s a pretty easy way to see whether Bestiarum works for your army theme or RPG setting, especially compared with many of the miniature games out there from Warhammer to Trench Crusade.
- Free encounters: three ready-to-run D&D 5E cinematic fights you can download for free.
- The range: grimdark STLs, printable terrain, and three factions with 5.5E stat blocks and lore.
- Proxy angle: the miniatures can work in 40k, AoS, and skirmish games as Chaos-flavored stand-ins, much like the kits in our 60 best miniature lines that aren’t Games Workshop.

The Halls of Suffering feels more like a campaign setting than a normal storefront page. All of Bestiarum’s grimdark miniatures, printable STL files, dungeon terrain, and cinematic D&D 5.5E encounters are all gathered in the same collection.
That works especially well for a horror range like this, as the models feel like pieces of the same setting instead of a pile of unrelated files, and it’s much easier to picture how they’d look together in a campaign or on the tabletop.
Free 5E Encounters are a Nice Bonus
Bestiarum’s free download includes three ready-to-run encounters, and each one gives the miniatures a purpose on the tabletop instead of leaving them as nice-looking display pieces.
It’s a straightforward setup that gives players usable encounters, puts the models at the center of those encounters, and lets people decide whether they want to print the mini or buy the cast. Best of all, these are D&D 5E-compatible miniatures, so they should be able to slot into games without much trouble.
The Three Factions Are Where Your Army Gets Ideas
Overall, their models are split into three factions, each supported by a 5.5E Bestiary Faction Pack with lore, stat blocks, and adventure hooks. Tormentor Cults is built around cultists, demons, and suffering, while the Anatomists focus on constructs, body horror, and madness. Plus, the Remade brings in dark elves, the Underdark, and spiders.
A dungeon needs something nasty waiting at the bottom, and Bestiarum has plenty of those boss models too. Best of all, they’re all sold as digital STL files.
A Whole Warband, Not Just a Box of Loose Models
Bestiarum also pitches the range as a source for complete warbands rather than individual display models. The models are great for miniature-agnostic skirmish games, narrative campaigns, grimdark wargaming, or proxy use in whatever system you’re already playing.
There’s also a $14 monthly STL subscription that includes a new release, a faction book, and a Welcome Pack each month. So, for anyone who prints regularly, that’s enough to keep adding models and campaign material without having to piece together every release separately.
Final Thoughts on Bestiarum Games Halls of Suffering
The free encounters are what could keep this range moving. Plus the miniatures are also useful outside D&D because anyone running a Chaos-flavored army in 40k or a Slaves to Darkness force in Age of Sigmar can probably find a use for the cultists, mutants, monsters, and body-horror constructs.
It’s the same counts-as approach we advocate for games like Warhammer, only this range stays firmly on the horror side of the shelf.
As long as Bestiarum keeps adding encounters and faction material, the Halls of Suffering can grow into more than just a collection of miniatures.
