[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 4605028, member: 1129"] One of the things I noticed on a few posts about the D&D minis line was that some people said that they stopped buying (not only the prepaints but minis in general), because they "had enough". In this thing I live in, the dreaded "reality", I too have "enough". However, companies like the following come along; [URL="http://www.avatars-of-war.com/"]Avatars of War[/URL] Use them for the big bad bosses and great heroes. [URL="http://www.blackscorpionminiatures.com/"]Black Scorpion Miniatures[/URL] I love Freeport but there's been like what, two pirates in the D&D line? [URL="http://www.crocodilegames.com/"]Crocodile Games[/URL] Now I'm not into any of the armies. If I had some people who played it and they said, "We'll help you set up, etc...", I'd be highly interested in the Spartans, the Weindigos, and the Crocodile people themselves. However, it's their Paizo line for Pathfinder, especially the goblins and ogres that make me go, "damn it, another purchase in the wings."
