Publication History

The First Chainmail miniatures Starter Set came out in 2001. According to the Lost Minis Wiki: Wizards of the Coast revived the Chainmail skirmish game and released a range of miniatures to support it. This game would eventually become the D&D Miniatures skirmish game, and many Chainmail sculpts would be later turned into prepainted plastic: the last recognizable one being the Large Ice Elemental (Para-Ice Elemental) in the Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures set #12, "Unhallowed".

The Chainmail brand would be discontinued in August 2002 but many of the miniatures ... would reappear in several of the D&D 3.5 Miniatures boxsets.
