[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9642113, member: 4534"] While it's less expensive, I think the lack of detail makes some of those models a bad choice for new painters. I think they need the detail while figuring out the best way to paint things. That said, they certainly don't need to drop $30 for an expensive GW model. And quite honestly, sometimes the GW models are overly detailed, particularly for new people or those batch painting squads or other groups. Warlord Games makes some decent miniatures that come in boxed sets for a relatively low price. A box of skeleton warriors comes with 24 miniatures and retails for $35 which is $1.46 a mini. You can get some orcs in the same number for the same price. Each set comes with multiple weapon options including bow, spear, flails, axes, etc., etc., so you can have a nice variety. Archon Studio has a line of Dungeons & Lasers miniatures for fairly reasonable prices and the quality is top notch. They have a pack of NPCs that comes with 69 minis, retailing for $64, so that's ¢.93. I purchased the animal companion pack which was $39 for 24 miniatures, so $1.63 each. Good price. But if you're not looking to paint anything at all, or assemble the miniatures, then the less expensive options might be better suited to your needs. [/QUOTE]
