[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 3043243, member: 34175"] For me, I'm finding that it is easier to start with a crappy DDM and over paint, then start with a raw pewter and work-up. For some reason the plastic holds-up better to play (moving, holding, dropping, etc) and that a simple re-paint no longer includes stripping the old paint and re-priming. I have a collection of cheap commons that I am now using as "parts trees" for other figs so that I can have a few different poses. And as far as talent or artistry, I have none, its just like anything else, patience and practice. But ultimately I think hackmastergeneral got it right in B) of his/her previous statement. It just a counter/placeholder, nothing can be exact, if it could there would be services that made to order minis, there aren't because it costs too much. Do I likeall of the WotC poses, no. You mentioned the kapak being useless to you, the new [I]Blood Wars [/I] set is useless to me. I have no reason to use fiends, celestials and such in my camapaign, so I will p/u a few singles from that set and drive on. As for WotDQ, I bought 3 cases, dragons, lizards and the like are what I need. If you want specific monsters, go with pewter, if you want cheap and easy stay with DDM, but complaining isn'y going to make WotC change their minds. Its Hasbro for God's sake, they just released [I]Star Wars Transformers[/I], come on folks, figure it out. :) [/QUOTE]
