[QUOTE="Echohawk, post: 5066998, member: 9849"] I think that's being far, far too optimistic. The revised version of [I]H1: Keep on the Shadowfell[/I] would need more than 140 miniatures, assuming that you want enough to differentiate between the different varieties of kobold/goblin/hobgoblin. [sblock] 10 Kobold Minions Kobold Slinger 3 Kobold Dragonshields 3 Kobold Skirmishes Kobold Wyrmpriest Kobold Slink 2 Kobold Denwardens Irontooth 2 Guard Drakes 4 Human Rabble Agrid, Gnome Skulk Kalarel's Spectral Apparition Rat Swarm 3 Goblin Sharpshooters 5 Goblin Warriors Hobgoblin Torturer 3 Goblin Bombardiers 8 Goblin Cutters Balgron the Fat 12 Zombie Rotters 4 Zombies 2 Skeleton Warriors 12 Decrepit Skeletons Sir Keegan, Skeleton Knigh 13 Giant Rats Ochre Jelly 6 Kruthik Hatchlings 3 Kruthik Young Kruthik Adult Blue Slime 2 Gravehounds Ninaran, Elf Archer 4 Hobgoblin Soldiers 5 Hobgoblin Grunts Deathjump Spider Hobgoblin Archer Hobgoblin Warcaster The Warchief Gelatinous Cube 2 Corruption Corpses Ghoul Kalarel's Clay Scout 5 Vampire Spawn Fleshrippers Orcus Underpriest 2 Orcus Berserkers Dark Creeper Kalarel, Scion of Orcus 8 Skeleton Sentinels Shallowgrave Wight [/sblock] You could probably reduce that to about 100 by using the same kobold minis for different types of kobolds, and so forth, but 100 is probably the lower limit if you want enough minis to cover all of the encounters in the adventure. I can't see a boxed set of 100 minis, plus the printed adventure and maps selling at anything less than US$100 on a good day, and that's for a 71 page adventure with only three encounters with large creatures. I think that a boxed set including minis for something like [I]Revenge of the Giants[/I] which is 160 pages, and contains lots and lots of huge minis is going to be closer to US$500 than US$200.
