[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8185469, member: 4534"] Back in the day, I really hated plastic miniatures but the quality has improved so much over the last few years that I much prefer it to metal. I think Games Workshop is the gold standard by which other miniatures are judged. Many of their Age of Sigmar miniatures are generic enough that they won't stand out when used in other games. The Serephon miniature pictured below could be used as a lizardman, or even a Dragonborn I suppose, in just about any fantasy game. You can find snake people, vampires, skeletons, orks, humans, elves, etc., etc. in the Age of Sigmar line. [ATTACH type="full" align="left" width="396px"]132005[/ATTACH] I think a lot of the miniatures for Warhammer 40k aren't generic enough to use in a lot of other games. That hasn't stopped me from using my Space Marines for sci-fi games where I need a big dude in power armor, but it bothers me that anyone can look at it and just know it's a Space Marine. But Necrons aren't a bad choice if you need Terminator like robot adversaries, some Imperial Guards are generic enough, and they've got some pretty cool vehicles to use if you need them.
