I'm going to be starting a SCAP campaign soon, and my group of players are really big on Minis. They've already started to order pewter figures so that they can paint them in time for the campaign beginning. I'm not much of a painter, but they asked me if there were any particular villians or allies that might reoccur enough that they might warrant there own mini. Now, because of the shadowy nature of the villians in this adventure, an individual mini for each of them seems pointless (since the PC's will likely only ever encounter them once). As a matter of fact, the only reoccuring minis I might have some use for would be demodands and a glabrezu. I found some Glabrezu minis online so I might buy one as we approach the end of chapter 5, but there aren't any minis for demodands. So, does anyone know of any good minis or good proxies that might fit for the various demodands the PC's might encounter in the game? The best proxies I can come up with are the Dolgaunt Monks, but suggestions are welcome. Also, if anyone can think of any other reocurring or even semi-reoccuring enemies the PC's might face, let me know and what you might recommend for the mini. Thanks in advance.

Obviously this depends on what happens in the campaign, but there's a few foes that could easily become recurring villains should they survive their initial encounters with the PCs. Skaven springs primarily to mind, as I believe multiple groups have had this happen with him, and the crazy derro wild mage (...Kravichak? I think?) could also escape and return to harass them. By the book, Jil pops up 2-3 times, and of course there's our resident beholder who'll make a big splash and then be put back on the shelf for a loooong time. :) Depending on what kind of rivalry they have with them, the Stormblades might also warrant minis. I know for my group, just seeing them "honored" with their own minis would make them scowl.
