I know I have taken a rather long "hiatus" from gaming in general, to the tune of around 5 years or so....
....but what's going on with miniatures these days??? Painted plastic ones? Tons of box sets for wargaming but diminishing amounts for table-top gaming or just plain painting? Ral Partha out of business??? :shock:
I googled "miniatures+rpg" and got alot of sites that either
a) sold nearly nothing but wargaming minis, in largish sets
b)had these bizarre, plastic painted things and called them DnD minis
c)sold an unfathomable creature called a "heroclix". Is this like a card game?
wargames are cool, but I am not looking to sink hundreds of $$ into a 94-piece army. I just wanna (try to..heh) paint up some kinda Conan-ish mini's. and not have to buy a pack of 10 nearly identical ones.
If anyone knows a website to where one can peruse mini's like they used to be, such as "warrior with spear" and "shaman", etc. please let me know. thanks everyone.
