[QUOTE="Roland Delacroix, post: 243976, member: 1753"] Having throroughly checked out the line I have to agree with the commentators, there is a lack of PC minis. The majority are monster types. The PCs Chainmail did have were of the more exotic type. As you mention, double sword wielders, tieflings, spiked chail users, the human sorcerer, he looks funky (but cool). So in a way Chainmail has a lack of human knights, oriental-style monks, and all the 'typical' types of PC's. Still, I think this is one of the few places the line went right. There are hordes of 'typical PC' minis among the ranks of Reaper and GW, but nary a double sword to be found. Chainmail probably made quite a few sales on this. Unfortunatlly they lost many more sales because of high prices. Example, these last 2 months I have probably spent over $400 on minis in preparation for RttToEE, and I will be spending more later. I always looked at D&D and Chainmail minis first, but turned away because of the very high prices. Other companies got my cash instead. I still don't understand why they tried to make a skirmish game. I run skirmishes every night we play D&D with no problems. Why would I bother to learn another system? Answer: If I wanted to run a compatible mass battle. Duh. I still say thats a Backstreet Boy, not a paladin. [/QUOTE]
