[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 3355485, member: 13703"] I voted that I mostly use D&D plastic minis, however this is a very recent development (I only bought my first D&D mini about 2 months ago). Having said that, I now own about 500 of these little pieces of plasticrack and have been buying a lot of the older minis that I'm after. Echohawk and Kaomera also helped me out by giving me some minis (now I can blame others for my evil habit! :) ). Before I got minis I used Fiery Dragon's Counter Collection Digital for my game (with a laminator so that they last more than 1 session). I still the use them for minis that I don't have or ones that are still yet to be made by Wizards - Hydra I'm looking at you. I've sorted mine out similarly to Zaruthustran with each group in a snap-lock bag and then stored in a big sealable plastic tub. Overall I think that the minis definitely add to the "coolness" factor of the game compared to the counters. I don't love the randomness but I can understand why they do it. I have found that I can get a lot of the minis I want online as singles for a reasonable price. There are some rares from the earlier sets that I want that are quite pricey (i.e. Large and Huge Red Dragon) but I'm hopeful that I can get them off of eBay eventually. I have also found that a lot of the randomness can be avioded if you are willing to buy a whole case. Of course you may then end up with common minis that you don't want. But if you really only want a few minis from a particular set you can pick them up on the singles market for a cheaper price than buying some boosters and hoping for the best. I've only played one game of Skirmish so far and it was ok. I played with a guy who has played quite a bit so he came up with both the warbands. I think that half the strategy of the skirmish game (and for many the fun) is in actually putting your warband together in the first place so I might enjoy it more if I put a group together myself so that I am more familiar with the various abilities.
