I've played a lot of Pathfinder Society in the past few years and enjoy enhancing the experience with a few miniatures. Since our local PFS games are mostly played in stores I don't want to be lugging around a huge amount of minis so everything I bring must fit inside a fishing tackle box.
I've learnt the hard way that metal minis do not travel well and have been slowly culling them from the portable part of my collection.
There are a few rock stars in my collection, minis that are cheap and often used, if you are considering buying some minis then these would make a good starting point.
Reaper Cultists #03940:
These guys are so versatile, great as:
- Cultists
- Evil Spellcasters
- Rogues
- Martial Elves
- Generic Minions
Reaper Zombies #77342
Cheap, good variety of poses. No TTRPG is complete without a few zombies.
Reaper Skeletons (various lines)
Not nearly as common as Zombies it seems and hard to get a good variety of poses but still useful and cheap. Always have a few on hand.
Any generic Demons
These old Grenadier Demons from John Dennett are my main exception to the no metal rule because they are just so damn useful. Medium to smallish size with wings they can represent so many different kinds of hellish minions.
Reaper Bones Animal Companions 77216
These guys are fantastic value, in a single pack you get a Wolf, Bear, Big Cat, Wolverine and Bird of Prey. The wolf, bear and cat see a lot of use as both companions and enemies. The wolverine and bird not so much but are still useful to have.
That's all for today, I have barely scratched the surface so expect to see more updates in the future.
