BoneDaddy Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 1. I'm cheap. Tighter than the bark on a tree. 2. I have a modicum or artistic talent, but I'm not freighted with fig-painting time. 3. I need a basic variety of the typical archetypes - warriors, rogues, wizards, etc. 4. I wouldn't mind a grab bag of villainy, while I'm at it. Anyone know a good source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Well Reapers line of Bones are relativly cheap. They are made of plastic/unpainted. I got a blister of 6 kobolds for about $3.50. Most singles are about $2.80 ish. Not as cheap as free though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesguy Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Here are some options: Metal/Plastic Reaper Minis - as NB stated Ebay - I bought some decent Ogres from Ebay recently. I think I spent ~$15 for three ogres. Paper minis - you will need to print most of these yourself Free is nice - good suggestion GM DriveThruRPG - You can find free and cheap paper miniature sets here, my favorites include Monster Stand-Ins - This was a Kickstarter project. You get 350 images and it costs $19.00 + printing costs ($.05 per image). Excellent quality Arion Games - Excellent quality Finding decent miniatures is hard. A long long time ago (+25 years) I bought a bunch of matching orcs (spear men, bowmen, and swordsmen) which I then painted up into squads of 5 orcs each. Best buy for miniatures ever. I haven't been able to find anything like those boxed sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Would there be any interest in paper mini printable pages for my Jolrhos Bestiary monsters? I should think a pdf of them wouldn't be worth more than 5 bucks on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 One down side of the bones line is that some minis such as spears are curved like a boomerang and some figures are bent crooked. Being plastic you put it boiling water bend it to the correct shape then dunk it in cold to set. My spears are still a little crooked.to me oh well good enough.

Tasha Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Reaper's bones are inexpensive.Wargames factory makes some styrene (regular model plastic) Skeletons and Orcshttp://www.wargamesfactory.com/webstore/myths-and-legendsAlso check eBay for D&D plastic Miniatures and Pathfinder Battles miniatures. The "common" figures tend to go cheap and they don't require painting. Mage Knight figures are also nicely painted plastic figures. Those might not be as easy to find as the others. Steve Jackson Games has PDF's of their Fantasy Cardboard HeroesDrive Thru RPG also has many different companies' PDFs of figures that you can print out on cardstock.

Grailknight Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Pathfinder Pawns are pretty nice. They are not cheap as lump sums but you get quite a few in each package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
