I had heard about folks rebasing them for D&D and I thought it would be an easy way to add some unique monsters to my collection. A few things turned me off to them.First, there is no scale. They're not the same size as DDM and they're not to scale with other Dreamblade figures, each one is just a representation of something in whatever size will fit on the base. So not only do they not look good next to DDM miniatures, they don't look particularly good next to other Dreamblade miniatures.The sculpts are all done with a tongue-in-cheek anachronism that lends well to a crazy wargame but not so well to D&D. I guess they would be more appropriate for a d20 Modern game, but I really have no interest in that.Finally, they just look cheap. I'm sure others feel this way about DDM, and it's hard to deny that the early lines were crude, but for DDM it was easier to ignore because I am already pretty familiar with the creature the miniature is representing. With Dreamblade, all you have is the figure itself. When it looks like something out of a vending machine that's all a person has to go on.From the packs I bought, there was only one figure I thought might make an okay monster. It ended up being so difficult to cut from the base that I decided it'd be easier to simply learn how to paint metal miniatures.So I did.</blockquote>
