(John Arcadian) The thing about Orcs and skeletons though, is that when you need them, you need A LOT OF THEM.

No argument there — I’m glad Reaper is covering this side of things, too.

But those bulk baddies aren’t too hard to find as DDM singles, and they can be pretty reasonably priced. It’s the stuff like good hero and villain figures that I don’t think DDM covers well — they have the models, but their price as singles is determing by their rarity and utility in the game. Which sucks for those of us who don’t play DDM.

The thing about Orcs and skeletons though, is that when you need them, you need A LOT OF THEM. I agree that Heroes, and Big Bad Evil Guys, and NPC’s, and themed NPC’s, etc. are all things that I really hope they come out with like this. I would so buy someone’s old mage knight collection or DND miniatures to get a set of nice plastic minis and have no care for the wargaming aspect of it.

The preliminary prices seem OK to me, especially given the quality of the paint jobs. The missing ingredient is the range of minis offered — orcs and skeles are nice, but I really hope they do lots of singles heroes and BBEGs, too.

Heh… follow the link first, Padawan. Got the prices (from the link, but they’re not firm), and will be putting a little more in my GenCon budget this year.

Nice. Anyone know what they used to paint them, and what we’d need to touch them up? I think the Orcs could use a nice dark olive/brown wash.

Prices?

Inquiring minds want to know…

[...] I wrote about the upcoming release of the pre-painted plastic miniatures from Reaper back in March. Today we have a first look at the miniatures thanks to Martin Ralya and others who are attending Reaper Con 07. Very exciting stuff, always glad to see more pre-painted miniatures. These seem to be well painted as well, can’t wait for the release. [...]
