"Boardgames that come with miniatures." Topic

There are a number of board games which come with plastic miniatures and perhaps some with resin or metal ones though I cant think of any metalother than CinCs old North Cape game containing metal ships and no games with resin. In any event what I am thinking of are games like Memoir 44, Twilight Imperium, Risk (in its many variants), etc.

Please post any game titles you know of which contain miniatures.

Please list the types (ground/aircombat/spaceships/navalships), the genre (SF/historic era) and the scale of the figures.

As an example: Twilight Imperium, SF, spaceships and 6mm SF ground

This makes me think I'm not the only one who looks at the content (read – the models inside) when deciding to buy a game.

Quite right Redroom. I bought a couple of the Risk games solely for their miniature content. Am also considering Twilight Imperium but it is such a massive game I would only buy it for the miniatures. It needs too many players and too much space for me to play it as a board game.

Thanks,

Viktory
Napoleon's War: The 100 Days
Napoleon's War II: The Gates of Moscow

The second and third come with the same miniatures as the top one but without any ships or houses.

Battles of Napoleon: The Eagle and the Lion

This one comes with figures that might be standard 1/72 plastics.

Space Hulk was worth buying just for the miniatures alone if you played either of those armies.

Monopoly?

I have a few of the Star Destroyers from the Star Wars version of Monopoly. They paint us pretty nicely for fleet scale starship games.

Eagle Games Age of Imperialism and others. And you can/could buy the figures separately.

You can use BoardGameGeek's search function to list all board games that are tagged with "Miniatures". This should get you hundreds, if not thousands of titles.

ACW
Battle Cry (AH/Hasbro/WotC)

Modern

Good lists guys ! I'm impressed with all the different pieces you can get with Monopoly and Risk versions. There is also a Conan link and Stargate link game with nice minis. As well as Games Workshop did a board game with Space Marine, Titan minis, etc. …

Talisman – Fantasy. Some editions came with cardboard pieces and stands instead of minis, but the current edition comes with plastic minis… In about a 32mm scale (?)

sergents. its a kinda new game that has hand painted 20mm metal ww2 figures. played on a floor type map board.

The Last Night on Earth series and Invasion From Outer Space. Both from Flying Frog Productions, also their upcoming Shadows of Brimstone.

Chopper Command. Came with Huey Helicopters and Gun armed
Jeeps

Tide of Iron
Dropzone commander
Duel in the Dark
Duel of the Giants
Loka
Conquest of the Empire
Memeoir 44
Art of War

I think that is all I have in the way of miniatures in games.

Don't forget Doom. Lots of monsters in that one.

D&D Castle Ravenloft
D&D Legend of Drizzt
Zombicide

All three of those are filled to the hilt with minis, and good ones too!

Don't forget Gears of War and DOOM.

8)

Lionheart board game: 92 medieval figures, around 28mm; peasants, swordsmen, archers, armored spearmen, plate barded horses and Knight riders. Check e-Bay, OOP, I think.

Mansions of madness,1920s Lovecraft. Sixteen investigators and most of the Mythos critters,plays like Clue on steroids.

Lionheart was a great game! Very simple and in a way DBA-like, with no groups and only two pips per turn. I liked how you removed figures from the slotted bases as casualties!

I cant think of any metalother than CinCs old North Cape game containing metal ships

CinC also produced Stalk 1, a WW2 tank game with 1/285 metal tanks. Five Russian and five German in mixed boxes. I don't recall the exact mix, but I think it was BTs and T34s for Ivan, with maybe an SU76, while Jerry got PZKW IIIs and IVs, with maybe a StuG III. The rules included statistics for evrything CinC was making at the time.

Level 7

As a child, I had the "Milton Bradley" game of "Broadsides" which had War of 1812 red and blue plastic ships with removable masts / sails.

Also had "Dogfight" which had plastic British and German WWI biplanes on fight stands.

My cousin had the Milton Bradley American Civil War game -- forgot the title. It had blue and grey plastic infantry, cavalry, and artillery.

Sure wish I still had those games. Sigh…….

The Adventurers: The Temple of Chac
The Adventurers: The Pyramid of Horus
Chac comes with 12 28mm modern, but Pulp like figs. Horus comes with 11 28mm modern, but Pulp like figs.

les géants de l'île de Pâques (many tribesmen)
cyclades
buck rogers
hybrid
even myrmes (ant miniatures!)

Many already mentioned,

I'll try to add more eventually, but wanted to say I've picked up several Risk at thrift stores, maybe missing a few figs, but at $2 USD-4 a box, usually at least 300 figs present, I assume I've on the order of 3000-5000 in the basement waiting a small Nappy skirmish, if I've ever inclined.

Maybe a eighth/tenth that for the AWI version…

My several Risk LotR sets would field a fair-sized Orc vs. Elf dustup.

Zombies!!!!!!! You can even buy zombies seperately if you think the horde isn't big enough. Almost properly 28mm
Zombicide- same again, though the separate packs aren't so big, but has the distinct advantage of not having all indentical zombies as Zombies!!!! does-presumably bigger 28mm
Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster – they may be plastic, but not polystyrene. Horror speculative fiction, 28mm plus, tile-board confined spaces combat
Terror of the Skies- Tiny scale minis, post-apocalyptic steampunk sky pirates- questing for treasure + ship combat
Descent- 28mm, dungeon crawl, appears similar to DOOM but a fantasy theme
Humans!!! now YOU"RE the zombies… presumably same scale range as Zombies!!!
Little DEad Riding Hood- the classic fairy tale with a hooded girl going to grandmas house with a self-loading pistol for each player and a bunch of zombie wolfmen.
Forever young-vampires competing for dominance
Jupiter Rescue- upcoming Twilight Creations game where players are robots rescuing people from a space habitat being attacked by nightmarish things
Cthulhu!!! Hastur la Vista, baby!- Guess what it's about? 100+ minis for cultists, byakhee, and investigators
Deadlands: battle for slaughter gulch- whole bunch of dude and townsfolk figures.
Zombietown…
Well, really quite a lot of Twilight Creations games

If you're into mobsters, Bootleggers comes with plastic figures packing Tommy guns. There's also one solitary cop, and a number of trucks.

It happens to be a great game too based on distilling and distributing bootleg moonshine.

I've got two Eagle games titles on my shelves, Napoleon in Europe – which is a huge rendition of the Napoleonic wars, and Attack (with expansion) which is WW2 era.

Eaglegames is no more, but both of these come up on Ebay regularly.

Battle Cry! Was the ACW game, I have a copy of the old 1965 edition' there is also a more recent (and more expensive!) version on the market, but the two games are radically different from each other

Firefly comes with plastic spaceships.

Several D&D boxed set games come with plastic miniatures.

Pandemic doesn't come with miniatures per se, but they have tokens to represent the players and buildings.

Eagle Games also made a Civil War strategic game with tactical battles. There were figures for infantry and artillery, officers, and cavalry, with horses for the last two.

I bought the game years ago, and more recently purchased several boxes of the horses and remounted Airfix figures on much better and stronger horses than the originals.

@1815GuY: Eagle Games are still around – just ordered some ACW figs from them abou a month ago.

eaglegames.net

remounted Airfix figures on much better and stronger horses than the originals.

Now THAT'S a tip worth putting into needlepoint for the wall. Thanks!
