<p>I received my Beginner Box miniatures set over the weekend and I am just WOWed at the detail. WOW, WOW, WOW! They made me just that much more excited for when these arrive. I was going to ask to have them shipped directly to the address where we game (to avoid carrying them to my 3rd floor apt and back down again), but I may have them delivered to my house just so I can get an early look at them!!</p>

<p>Since the bases of DDM are the same material as the figure, yes they do drop and wobble, but they also can be written on with markers or paint.</p>
<p>I'm surprised no one at whiz kids has come up with some kind of numbering or lettering scheme built right into the mini so you can easily tell the minis apart.

Also, when I use minis today, I often write numbers on the bases with marker or paint so I can easily identify individuals in a group of same minis ("Skeleton #2 takes 4 damage."). Will these minis have a built in way of numbering or otherwise marking them? Can I easily write on those shiny bases with a permanent marker?cibet442011-11-18T21:29:06ZRe: Forums: Miniatures: Paizo Blog: Pathfinder Battles Preview: Spidery Secrets!Mazrahttps://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo5lcui?Pathfinder-Battles-Preview-Spidery-Secrets#82011-11-18T20:52:05Z2011-11-18T20:52:05Z<p>Nice wash on the Skeleton. Kudos there!</p>
<p>The spiders are simply awesome. I could see five or six of the Medium Spiders attacking the party, only to bring out the mama Large just when the party thinks they have won the encounter. Bwahaha!</p>
