"fantasy rpg miniatures range recommendation" Topic

hello ,

i'll pay some rpg (dd5) with the kids (pathfinder is too hard for me) and so i was wandering what range do you guys recommand for nice adventurers, monsters, civlians, armies and so on?

i like very much CP-models but they are expensive and never goes on sales.
beside i'm in europe so Reaper is hard to find and expensive too…
i'll like some news mins no Rapharta or oldHammer …

thanks a lot for your recommandations
best

Reaper miniatures are a good source. Their Bones plastic range is pretty reasonably priced:

I would say Reaper bones are around $2.99 USD for a character figure.
I highly recommend "Basic Fantasy Role-playing Game". It's first edition basic D&D with some modern tweeks.

If you like 15mm Splintered light has a huge range

Thanks a lot doc mcb, i never heard of these, and you'r right it is a nice and huge range : cheap too. perfect and why not going intoo 15mm :)

thanks mrwigglesworth & boganwaz : off course Reaper is the one i should go on but, i looking for something different for once.

You can usually pick up common D&D/Pathfinder plastic figs pretty cheap online.

thanks a lot Jamemurp, it is an idia
i think that i'll forget the "cheap" part of the project …
for the moment my favorites are:
cpmodels.co.uk
otherworldminiatures.co.uk
midlamminiatures.co.uk
northumbriantinsoldier.com
reapermini.com/miniatures/bones

just have to think about what range i go with…

Pendraken 10mm miniatures has a 10mm dungeon line.

Reaper's Bones and Wizkids Unpainted's (D&D & Pathfinder, but pay no mind to the names and instead concentrate on how the minis look) would probably be the best choice. And you'll have a multitude of figures to choose from.

With these ranges you'll have the adventurers, civilians, monsters and dungeon dressing.

So great to hear people playing RPGs/miniature games with their kids!

And if you want to build stuff with the kids and make 3D dungeon together and very cheaply at that you'll get a ton of tips and ideas from this YouTube channel (there should be gazillion other similar ones too)

The Frostgrave range of plastics and metals are good for human adventurers, soldiers and the like.

Also useful for a range of monsters.

thanks a lot Mr Wigglesworth, i love 10mm too as well as 6mm…
i think i'll stay on 28mm for rpg

Lonkka1Actual thanks for your link: did't know him.
yes my kids & teenagers are crazy about RPG, so i work a lot to prepare nice game sessions…
(so hard for me to deal with a game setup like I did 30 years ago… 😉

Thanks Giles the Zog, i like a lot the Frostgrave range too and will probably use some of them 😊

D&D and Pathfinder have prepaints, but they are collectible. Basic figures can be had dirt cheap online.

D&D and Pathfinder have prepaints

Very hit and miss with them as well.

A lot of them are not really good. Though they can cover some monsters fairly well.

I would go with Frostgrave box sets and very soon Oathmark.

But Reaper does have some good miniatures as well.
