Classic Encounters – Expansion Set I – 60 Iconic DND Miniatures Bulk Monsters, Unpainted Tabletop RPG DND Minis, D&D Miniatures, Fantasy Figurines, Dungeons & Dragons Minis, 28mm, Assembled Unprimed

This is a great selection of monster minis to bring to your game.Highlights:- Four of each type is great and lets you have a strong fight (1 werewolf is great to start with… But he’s going to need buddies when your players level up.) Especially great for wolves and boars.- The details seem fairly crisp, I didn’t see any printing artifacts or dangling plastic. The green elemental (acid?) has a base that’s a little warped… And that’s very easy to work around.- The monsters represent a wide and diverse spectrum of creatures.- Is the rock monster an elemental of earth? crystals? Ice? Until you paint him, the answer is Yes!- The human-faced serpent naga is a cool addition.- The giant is HUGE and that could be awesome to throw down on a table with regular minis.- Several creatures could be used to represent more than one kind of creature, i.e. the imps could be gargoyles, the ghouls could be a barbarian (or any dude running around with no shirt), the mummies make decent zombies.- The dire wolves really look good, and that’s not always the case.Lowlights:- There are some unconventional creatures – acid elemental, slime snakes – but 1) this is a great creative exercise to define these creatures for yourself and 2) you can download support material using the QR code included! That’s SUCH A GREAT MOVE! (I haven’t dug into it yet, but whether it’s good or bad, that’s excellent creativity and added value.)- As is always the case with minis, you may tend to limit yourself to the creatures you have instead of being creative. That’s a you problem… Work through it, get okay with saying “These mummies are actual vampire thrawls” or “Yes we had minis last week, but I don’t have giant wasps, so we’re using these monopoly pieces instead” or whatever you need to do to have fun creative play with your table. (It’s okay to have something nice for your werewolf fight even if you don’t have those minis for every week.)Overall, this is a great mini set for people playing in person. You (or your favorite DM) can get a lot of value using these for a planned campaign, and even more planning a campaign around these minis. [...]
