Range of Miniatures

[exile]

The thread about 'still buying metal miniatures', has gotten me interested in the natures of other ENWorlders' miniature collections. To start, here is a breakdown of my own collection and the directions I would like to take it.

Mordheim Miniatures (from GW): Cult Magister (one of very few fully-painted miniatures) and Freelance Knight (Mounted and Unmounted).

Imperial Guard- Cadian Army (from GW): Largely still unassembled, a few of the figures are pinted, a nice dark green and black color scheme.

Warlord Miniatures (from Reaper): 20ish, all unpainted, a good variety of warrior types with a few wizard types, more dwarves than any other non-humanrace.

L5R Miniatures (from Reaper): teenish, all unpainted, mostly samurai types with much fewer courtiers and shugenja, a respectable compliment of 3 ninja.

Exalted Miniatures (from Reaper): Dace, Mercenary Captain; Panther; two guardsmen looking guys, one with a sword, the other with a spear, again all unpainted.

Dark Heaven Legends (from Reaper): teenish, all unpainted, a good mix of PC types with some more exotic figures (Egyptian Sorceress, Samurai).

Confrontation/Nemesis (from rackham): a nice selection of celt figures (scantily clad women with huge swords, a giant, a female werewolf type in both human and hybrid form) and the figures that came with the nemesis boxed set (some muskateer types and the abberations they fight).

Star Wars: Rebel Storm (full set), Clone Strike (3 figures away from a full set).

Wargods of Aegyptus: Anubi hero (basically an Egyptian looking gnoll) with sword and dagger; Harbinger of Osiris (regal looking Egyptian human); and a couple of Po-tamen or something like that (they pass for Egyptian dwarves).

Warmachine/Iron Kingdoms: Large selection of Khadoran miniatures with a few mercenaries and Cryx figures thrown in; full set of the Iron Kingdoms RPG miniatures.

As far as directions I would like to take my miniatures collection...
1.) Finish the Clone Strike set (since SW is a game my group plays fairly often)
2.) Get more L5R minis (since it is another game my group plays on a fairly routine basis)
3.) Get more Wargods of Aegyptus minis (hopefully for use with an upcoming Hamunaptra game...I can not stress enough just how great these minis look like they will be for a Hamunaptra game!!!)
4.) Stay current with the Iron Kingdoms miniatures and get more of the Warmachine ones (in case my group ever decides to play either Warmachine or I get to DM a game set in the Iron Kingdoms)
5.) Finish painting and assembling my Cadian army (and do a few special conversions for an elite unit)

I am currently painting the entire Reaper catalogue with a few other lines thrown in. One figure a night and I will eventually catch them.

I'm trying to stay focused on fantasy figures these days and have set my ancients aside for a while.

Yeah, well Pogre, you are just the God of miniatures. I wish I could hire you.

Painting the entire Reaper catalog?!
That's frickin' incredible.
Do you display your work anywhere?

What a good idea. I take it you have a set time to start each day and you finish one per night without being a perfectionist?

Let's see...haven't done an actual count of my minis in a while.

Oldest of mine are early-80s Grenadier. Call of Cthulhu boxed sets of monsters and investigators, lots of blisters. Got the two original Gamma World boxes as well. That's about 100 minis.

Around 100 moderns, mostly mid-90s Ral Partha Shadowrun, Vampire, Werewolf and Mage lines. Some cool minis in there; these are what I'm painting most these days...these and hideous monsters.

Lots of Reaper Dark Heaven minis! About 200 of those; many painted, many more not. Pogre, your minis thread has inspired me to go back to the workbench. I'm almost done with a few recent Reaper releases...Ghoul King and Dire Bear.

I've got a lot of RAFM Call of Cthulhu, box of Hellboy heroes, assorted old fantasy minis (mostly Ral Partha) from their AD&D line and earlier, about a dozen Copplestone minis, and a few Battletech mechs. I guess close to 500 overall; now I need to count, durn it.

I just compiled a new Want List, and it's composed mostly of Copplestone Future Wars and FOUNDRY Street Violence minis--so much good stuff for my Modern campaign. Also, I'm very excited about the new modern line from The Miniature Building Authority. Cool stuff over there.

A thousand thanks for your compliment! Jen Haley is my Goddess I figure I rank about friar compared to her work.

Some of it - I have a thread over in the art area with a mish-mash of various projects:http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=60236

I also have a story hour with pics of some of the mini scenes from our games:

I am working on a miniatures gallery for pogre.com but it is far from complete.

What a good idea. I take it you have a set time to start each day and you finish one per night without being a perfectionist?

Not exactly, I finish figures in mad sprints. Some figures demand extra time. Others, like sarcophagi and such, can be speed painted. My problem now is many of the figures in my collection are being retired from the Reaper catalogue and replaced by newer models!

I should be clearer - I am not painting the Special editions, CAV, L5R, or Exalted ranges.

Lots of Reaper Dark Heaven minis! About 200 of those; many painted, many more not. Pogre, your minis thread has inspired me to go back to the workbench. I'm almost done with a few recent Reaper releases...Ghoul King and Dire Bear.

Awesome! I love those Modern Foundry figures as well. I'm off to check out the other stuff you mentioned...

I have about four file boxes of miniature unpainted. Minis from all sorts of odds and ends. Most of them characters from auctions and other areas that I really should've avoided as I doubt I'll ever paint them. More like stupidity of "How can I pass up an elf army for $100?"

Still buying individual Reaper minis, both Warlord and regular ones, for certain characters or important monsters.

Enjoying the return of Iron Wind aka Ral Partha. Hoping that they keep updating their classic range and hoping that they do another three stage character set up with the new sizes that they're utilizing.

Diggining Magnificent Ego, Spyglass, Lance & Laser (their Penumbra Line is fantastic), and of course, Confrontation and Keltos among others.

Yup... I need a life.

I forgot to mention the ten or so Star Wars miniatures that I have from WOTC's short-lived line of metals. Anyone know wher I can find more?

Also forgot to mention the excellent line of modern miniatures from RAFM. These are technically Call of Cthulhu figures, but will work incredibly well for most modern games. The sculpts are quite good. Check them out if you like modern minis.

i have a bunch of minis painted in one color or another total... from my early lazier days. so.. green army.. black army... red army, etc... thousands of them in lead.

i got into this game from the wargaming side. so i have some tin minis from the 20's and 30's.

i bought a bunch from a gaming store that went out of business. for pennies on the dollar back in the mid 80's. this is the bulk of my collection.

superior, rafm, grenadier, ral partha, heritage, t$r, and others i forget. LEAD. the only true D&D minis are LEAD.


my hat of the d02 WotC minis knows no limits. (although i have over 1000 of them )
