What I do is, getting images from the internet; then I crop them to the required size on Photoshop; after that I build a letter or tabloid file on Illustrator with a lot of images which I later print, cut and paste on cardboard to get tokens of every monster I plan to use on the table (I really like to have tokens of the exact monster I'll be using). But, I've figured that now I have a lot of monsters that I really didn't use and that because of bad calculation, which translates in doing useless extra work. For example, I ended with more than 30 zombies and rotten corpses that I thought I would use, but I really used the half or even less than the half of them.  So my question is, and I hope I'm clear, in your experience, how many minis could do the trick to cover all the minions, standards, solos or else to have complete encounters? For example: Should I print 10 orc minions, 1 chieftain, 1 bloodreaver, 5 warriors, etc? I've tried to calculate this myself, but last time I made less of the minis I needed and I'm kind of fed up. BTW I usually have a party of 7 players, if this could help in something. Well, thanks and I hope that I have explained myself, I'm not very good writing in English.</blockquote>
