How did your players like getting their minis so messy?

You must have me confused with some post-1E-style DM.

I really like the clay minis -- the group photo looks like "Mr. Bill Goes Medieval" or something. Very cool! I wish that I had the free time to do something like that.

Well, back in that thread the Three Haligonians posted, I mentioned that I'd get around to taking a picture of my homemade minis once I'd painted them. As I now have a digital camera (instead of just a mini-DV recorder), here they are (and a few more than I had modeled by that point). I find my main problem is being consistent in size from mini to mini. I've made a whole bunch in the last couple of days, actually (not painted yet), and I think they are a bit too large. Ah, well, what can you do?

I hit the discount stores. Plastic dinosaurs, fossil dinosaurs, giant spiders, snakes, frogs, lizards-- for stuff like that you can get an army for a few bucks.

Last game my group fought a mass of Mage Knight and Heroclix monsters, a bunch of large tarantulas from a Halloween party favor pack, a Huge spider from the Little Miss Moffet MacFarlane line, and a Colossal Spider played by Shelob from LOTR. There was even some DDM's mixed in there. The whole battle took place in ruins represented by aquarium terrain and a plastic temple from the old Dark World board game.

Basically, anytime I see something cool in a bargain bin, I nab it.

Hell yeah!
