Pathfinder 1E Paizo's Dark Elf Sanctum - buying?

[BWP]

I don't intend to buy because: (a) although I like miniatures (in general, painted or unpainted), I don't much like these miniatures; (b) I don't play DDM, and when resolving battles tend to use counters or tokens for simplicity (not to mention, some of my players think miniatures make good hammers!) and (c) Drow. Yaaaawwwwnnn.

Besides, Drow don't really fit into Midnight, which is the setting I'm using at present.

i'm on the fence. i might get it if i have a few extra bucks but otherwise probably not. i buy enough other stuff that i never use.

I picked it up because I'm a miniatures freak. The figures are very well sculpted and a good value for the price. I've only taken a cursory look at the scenario, but it looks alright for a quick encounter.

I look forward to future releases in the series.

This was a "maybe" until I heard some comments about the product. Now it's firmly in the "no" camp.

What did you not like about the contents? Unpainted figures?

Smaller scale than most of today's minis. (For me, unpainted is a downcheck these days.) The tiles aren't very durable.

It just looks as if there are better products on the market for essentially the same concept.

 

[Kanegrundar]

The scale on the figs was just fine. They appear to be pretty much the same scale as Reaper and Privateer figs.

As for the tiles, they are a little more flimsy than DDM tiles, but not by much.

-More- flimsy than DDM tiles? Yikes.

 

[Kanegrundar]

They appear to be slightly (very slightly) more flimsy. I've use the tiles a couple times now and they've held up as well as the DDM tiles. (I haven't had a problem with them either.)

Already have it, because I like painting miniatures, and these ones are nice. I don't know if I'll ever use the encounter or the map tiles.

Only one of the miniatures is drow, and even then- it's only drow if you decide to paint it that way.
