The Player's Handbook Miniatures

[Zaukrie]

This is why it is hard to make minis, you may find the elf druid boring, but my son loves that mini for some reason.

The sculpt details are significantly better than the pictures show. The work on the barbarian with the wolf pelt on his back is so much better than the pictures show it's ridiculous.

Agreed on both parts. Everyone has their preference; my group didn't think the repaint cleric of cuthbert was better because they preferred the other color scheme. My main beef with the druid is there's about 4-5 female elf druids, and it just didn't live up to the awesome that some of the previous ones do, imo. It's still a decent mini, though (much, much better than some minis)

That barbarian is actually a really nice mini. the wolf-pelt is a nice touch.

I'm going to use the human fighter with flowing blond hair for Lareth the Beautiful.

You can always find the original Lareth miniature on Ebay

My girlfriend plays an Eladrin Paladin. When I saw that mini I thought "this is the mini for her!" She's sticking with here old mini though, I imagine she's gotten used to it.

I have had to resort to a "Miscellaneous Bipeds" box, and another one labelled "Things That Defy Easy Categorization and Which I Will Thus Never Be Able to Find When I Need Them During a Game"

I try to keep a lot of mine grouped in the original sets they came with. But I also keep all the undead in a box, and humanoid monsters in a box, and kobolds in a box, and hobgoblins in a box, and PCs/NPCs in a box, but most of the others stay together with a color print out of how many i have of each figure.

I'm sort of OCD when it comes to categorizing minis. I have them all sorted for RPG use in baggies, then organized in storage containers.

container 1
Humans - Classes and styles (i.e. barbarians/thugs, armored fighter-type, wizard/warlock, clerics, rogue/rangers, asian influenced, town folk, etc..)

container 2
PC races - elf, eladrin, halfling/gnome, warforged, dwarf, dragonborn, genasi, etc..

Container 3:
Mounts & Familars (any mounted/mount creature and minis associated with familiars)

conatiner 4: Heroic tier Humanoids
Goblins (hobgobs, bugbears, goblins), Lizardfolk, fish people, kobolds, Orcs (separated by class types, as well) etc...

Container 5: Undead, separated by types (skeletons, zombies, vampires, etc..)

Container 6: Paragon Tier humanoids:
Drow (separated by class types), Troglodytes, Yuan-ti

Container 7: Giants, Titans, Trolls, and Ogers (separated by types)

Container 8, 9, 10: Magic beasts, Vermin, Animals

Containers 11, 12, 13, 14: Planar creatures (shadowfell, feywild, astral, Elemental)

Final container is Dragons, separated by color.


Every bag is labled with type, and placed in a larger bag for race (drow, for example), then placed in the container labelling what creatures are in the container.

Makes it very, very easy to find what I need on the fly.

Ah, the joys of collecting, sorting and storing minis. First you have a box labeled "Monsters", then you have a box labeled "Aberrations", then "Tentacled Aberrations", and finally one just for "Ropers" .

Yup.

My Boxes (well, cheap tupperware bins) consist of the following.

PCs (dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, warforged, etc...)
NPCs (generic fighters, slaves, sages, thugs)
Villains (evil-classed NPCs and tielfings)
Orcs (& half-orcs)
Goblinoids
Undead
Giants (& trolls and ogres)
Outsiders (Non-PC race types)
Drow (& other underdark races)
Furry Humanoids (Gnolls, catfolk)
Scaly Humanoids (lizardfolk, kobolds)
Dragons
Small Animals (wolves and bats)
Large Animals (dire wolves and dire bats)
Everything Else (golems, monstrous humanoids, plants, aberrations, etc)
