[QUOTE="Kunimatyu, post: 3043302, member: 22057"] Awww, his old-timer brain is having trouble adjusting to new ideas... :p More seriously, despite the fact that multiple Rares are costly (but generally no more costly than the equivalent pewter mini with no paintjob), surely you don't wish to return to the days where you had to paint up twenty goblins, as opposed to spending $5-10 and having them all right there for you to use? And since few players take the time to pay attention to non-PC or non-super monster figures, the paintjobs totally accomplish their purpose. Look, I'm a minis painter, an above average painter who can produce much better paintjobs than the DDM line with a modicum of effort. Guess what? DDM still wins vs pewter. It's light, easy to store, and comes with a servicable paintjob that's plenty good for tabletop. There are times when I've repainted DDM, or used kitbashed GW parts to customize a fig (crappy common Ibixian becomes a Black Goat of Naggaroth, complete with skull-encrusted cloak and demon scepter), but generally, I'd prefer not to have to have another hobby just to create figs to use with my main hobby, D&D. There are a lot of people out there like that, and for people like you, Reaper certainly has plenty of figs for the old-timers used to lead and pewter. [/QUOTE]
