Well? I'm talking about some you can use to play the pnp game, or just about any period. I saw some one wizards.com, but they only had a few. I saw a couple on another sight, but there were only a few there. there has got to be more (D&D has been around long enough), and there's gotta be a site that has alot. Are there any rcomendable shops that sell other fantasy figures that would be possible to use?

<font color=orange>They are sold here in Knoxville at a store called THE GAME BOARD. They are mall store. They have the biggest selection I've found. They also have a pretty good selection of pnp D&D.</font>

I can think of several places online. Try these.

RAFM Games and Minis

RPGNow has lots of game aids, including paper Mini's

GamingMiniatures.com. They are a middleman for several of the big mini companies, and have all kinds of mini's, from historical to fantasy to high tech.

Reaper Minis. A personal favorite.

Ral Partha Europe. Another favorite. This is their fantasy/sci-fi site. Ral Partha's Main Site is mostly for their Miniature-based games.

And, of course, E-Bay is always a good choice :D

And, when all else fails, there's always your local hobbystore. [img]smile.gif[/img]

PS: I found all of these after spending about 2 minutes on Alltheweb searching for Fantasy Miniatures. Just a suggestion, use Google, Alltheweb, or just about any other online search engine, and you'll save all concerned a *lot* of time. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Also, search for Reaper Miniatures online - they're a great competitor to Ral Partha.

BTW, though I own TONS of their miniatures, just know that Ral Partha is owned by FASA is owned by Micro$oft - just an FYI. :D

don't forget the Warhammer people, their mini's are alot of fun to paint and the warhammer fantasy mini's can be used for D&D (most of them)

Thanks for the sites and suggestions everybody.

My own model is a custom job, See what I did was I couldnt find Just the right combination for my character, so I found a Mordenheim Figure with a nice bow and cape but he was holding a short sword, and a then I found a really nice naturalist model from the Reaper Minis website, I basically broke the sword off, took off naturalis's scythe and glued it into the guys hand. Its a big model that takes up alot of space but has a fairly small base as small as bases go.

Although, if you post it, you will get plenty of people's opinions as well, in addition to just the links to sites. :D

Good luck in your Mini hunt. :D

dragon's aren't all that hard, you just have to take them one piece at a time... http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/morgue...f%26.dir=/D%25 (an example that I painted, and I have several more I'm working on.)
