D&D minis questions

[Harker Wade]

I was wondering if there is a good list somewhere with pictures of the symbol(s) used on the mini cards for each set and the corresponding name?

Also, are there any good programs out there for keeping track of what figs you and which ones you don’t?

I turn to the all-knowing community for answers!

Wizards has a tool on their site for download that has all the minis in its database. It even includes card images if you want to suck up the ENORMOUS download.

Thanks! I think this will help me keep track a lot better of what I have!

In a similar vein, is there any site that has good, large-sized pictures of the minis? The ones I've seen thus far are Ok for general shape, but not so good for detail. As I only by singletons for specific purposes, it matters to me.

Microsoft Excel or the Open Office spreadsheet utility.

Each sheet can be one expansion set

Columns
Name ~ Alignment ~ Point cost ~ Number you have

Yes, creating a list in excel is easy. Go to the master list page and highlight and copy everything in the table, open excel and select Edit -> Paste Special. Select text and click ok - and everything should be pasted neatly into rows and columns. Just add a new column on the end called Total (or whatever you like) and then you can use that column to keep count of your figures. If there are some columns you don't want, highlight the columns and delete them

You might also want to try Bifur - I'm not sure it does exactly what you're looking for (though it might!), but I know it does lots of funky things.

Oh, and I nearly forgot, but you might want to take a look at Vesivus, where you can sort minis into all sorts of categories, including by faction

I use bifur to track my collection and build warbands. It's super. =)
