[QUOTE="Foundry of Decay, post: 4374871, member: 846"] I'd chime in to reccomend Reaper as well. I stopped collecting D&D miniatures after getting fed up on never having quite as many as I needed. With 4e, I can only see this getting worse. Fighting larger groups of creatures means buying more miniatures. I'm sure there is some conspiracy theory in there somewhere but I tend to ignore conspiracty theories. I also have found the artistry of the gloopy, rubbery miniatures to be far, far less well rounded than those of most metal/hard plastic miniatures. I have YET to see one D&D miniatures dragon that looks as good as the McFarlane dragons, for instance. I draw my own counters now. But if I find interesting miniatures from Reaper or other companies I splurge and pick up a pack or two from them. Painting them for the table doesn't have to be a 'masterpiece'. Most people can paint at least at the WoTC standard for miniatures, and do so in a short amount of time. The mini's sit a foot or two away on the table anyway, so every detail such as eyes really don't have to be rendered. [/QUOTE]
