[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 4604837, member: 10784"] Kind of the opposite for me. I had a pretty good collection of Warhammer & Reaper minis I either painted myself, bought painted off of eBay, or had painted on commission. This was before D&D prepainted stuff ever came out. Most of the prepainted stuff has generally been a turn-off to me because of the poor quality of the paint jobs - I had a local highschooler painting some of mine for $1.50 each that were better quality, and then had some minis painted to very good quality in China or Sri Lanka as well for not much more than that (the highschooler went off to college). Then, I can get them painted how I want as well: so my red & black themed Empire army can be the town guard/watch, and also the same kingdom's knights and "professional" men-at-arms. (or, the evil empire's minions instead) I've bought a few random boosters of the D&D prepainted (lucked out & got a pit fiend in one!), but have mostly bought a few here & there for my D&D campaign off of enworld, or eBay. even then, it's hard to tell. I bought 7-8 medium gravetouched ghouls, and one other ghoul that I was hoping to use as the ghoul leader/ghast, but the one solo ghoul was way smaller than the gravetouched ghouls. Kind of ruins the image at the table. [/QUOTE]
