I, for one, am disappointed to see the D&D Miniatures line cancelled. I'd like to pick your collective brains about the best alternative for me.
Things I like (in priority order):
Things I like (in priority order):
- for medieval fantasy RPGs
- 3D! I'm completely turned off by the cardboard discs that WotC is peddling now.
- durable. Plastic isn't a necessity but I don't know of any alternatives that can bounce around in a box, fall of the table, etc. with minimal damage.
- relatively inexpensive but not "cheap." DDM fit this bill well. The minis were about $2 each or less than half of comparable metal minis but still decent quality compared to alternatives like "army men" from the dollar store.
- prepainted. I paint minis from time to time but I'm not the kind of person who will spend an afternoon painting a dozen orcs.
- lots of different sculpts. I like Reaper's plastic minis line, for example, but there aren't very many of them. As a DM, when I create an encounter with an orc tribe, I like to have 15 different orc sculpts on the table not 15 copies of the same sculpt painted differently or, worse, numbered or color-coded.
- mostly monsters and NPCs. I use my minis mostly for DMing.
- not out of print. (sigh)
