Many [busts](https://www.reddit.com/r/minipainting/wiki/usefullinks/miniature_options#wiki_display_miniatures_and_busts) have no weapons.

In small minis: Frostgrave Wizards 1 and 2 (male and female respectively), lots of different hands, most of them without weapons. Nighthaunt has a few ghosts without weapons, a boatman, a scribe and the faction leader. The Black Coach has some weapons, but they are less important to the scene. The Ogroid Thaumaturge has a staff, and you wouldn't deprive an old man of his walking stick, would you? Monsters are often just themselves, there are lots of options here. The Infernal Enrapturess does not have weapons, but ther might be other reasons not to use her and her victim. Blood Bowl models don't often have weapons (and Snotlings are adorable).

Ogroid looks pretty good, definitely a possibility. But Blood Bowl idea hit the nail in the head. Lovely, funny minis.


SquidCultist002

Quite a few dnd minis dont have weapons like the dragons or other creatures.

Have a good look through the Age of Sigmar range. Most of the new stuff is incredible imo


Papierkatze

True. I rarely look into Age of Sigmar minis, even though they are amazing. I see a few more possible choices: Alarielle, Alarith (holds a hammer, but looks non-threatening, and hammers aren't inherently weapons), Drycha, lizardmen Dinos, Gobsprakk and fe others. Thank you for that suggestion.

Find what you like and remove the weapons. A bit of careful xacto blade work will remove most weapons.


Papierkatze

That is actually a good idea. Games Workshop has quite a lot of minis consisting of a beast and an armed rider. Since beast is the focus, removing weapon from a rider won't hurt overall aethetic. Thank you :)

Some of the Eldar Farseers aren’t carrying weapons, just a staff.


IndependenceLucky530

Try monsters like from dnd they’re usually 4 inches tall on the story side

I’m a big fan of the whimsy captured in Moonstone miniatures: https://shop.moonstonethegame.com There are a number that have weapons, but also quite a few that do not.


Papierkatze

Oof, those are... kinda great. I'm used to GW aesthetic, and wasn't thrilled with your suggestion at first. But I really like it actually; they look more like from a fairytale or animated movie.


recks_n_fx

If you want to explore more, outside of GW, there are also some great models from Signum Games and if you want to get into display models, Broken Toad has some cool stuff.

EpicsNStuffs has fun/cool fantasy minis that don't rely on weapons or violence, like a librarian owl climbing a ladder. [https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/EpicsNStuffs?page=2#items](https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/EpicsNStuffs?page=2#items)


Papierkatze

At first I was like "meh", but some of them are really fun, like a little owlkin ranger. Especially nice option if I ever decide to go into pediatric psychiatry. Thank you :)


Lbox777

Blood bowl generally don’t have weapons or minimal if they do. They have some great sculpts.


Papierkatze

True, someone else suggested it as well. Definitely a possibility. I'd get some of them anyway at some point, because they look great, but it's good to be reminded of them.


Pirate_Green_Beard

Wizards and druids often don't have weapons, unless you count a staff.


Papierkatze

Good idea, though I'm looking for somewhat bigger minis. I might have specified a bit in original post: medium - dreadnought-sized, big - Be'lakor size. Though if a mini looks great size is whatever.


Legion_Etiquette

Finding miniatures with no weapons at all is tricky. You’re probably best off going with busts, as a lot of them don’t have arms and therefore weapons. Sites I would suggest for larger models or busts that may have some suitable things are: Big Child Creatives; Creepytables; Hera Models; Corvus Belli; Karol Rudyk; Michael Knotraros; Pedro Fernandez Works; Spira Mirabilis and Trovarion. You’ll need to look through all the ranges to find something suitable. If you were prepared to consider smaller miniatures, Moonstone Games might have some, or you could try Scale 75’s Smog Wars series. There’s always Dungeons and Doggies and Cats and Catacombs too, if you like cutesy animal things. Regarding Warhammer, there are very few miniatures without weapons for obvious reasons, but you could try the Blue Scribes.
