Reapers are like a drug. For example, my friend Pat has about seventy Reaper minis, all unpainted. But he just keeps on buying more... He doesn't even use the damn things.
I so suffer. Although I've been good of late, I own enough unpainted lead to make a bullet that would kill the sun.

I'm the same way with plastic airplane models. I put 'em together, but never get around to painting the things.

Haha.. exactly. After the next war with Mexico (which will be backed by Iran) you can keep your ammo from being confiscated by first casting it as iron miniatures.

I've been painting minis for 25 years. I'm so sick of it. WotC minis are such crap. What a godsend, provided they look close to those features in the display in that link.
You just helped me decide to buy these. thanks.

I find it somewhat easier to keep my minis painted when I accept a "good enough" standard for all but a few minis. Typically the only minis I really make any effort to paint halfway decently are PC minis or the rare special boss mini. Other than that I just do enough to accomplish my primary goal without embarrassing myself unduly...
I currently have about a dozen unpainted Reaper minis, but that is primarily because I got a big batch of them as a gift and just haven't gotten around to painting them yet. I figure a moderately competent paint job is better than a bunch of unpainted pewter sitting in a drawer...

Ya know, 6 years ago, I was completely joking about a war with Mexico and Mexico being backed by Iran. But today, I kinda think that could happen.
Using my Reaper minis, I'm playing out scenarios for this war now.

Haven't had much luck though, other than random eBay searches. Seems like the overwhelming majority are for GMs, i.e., monsters rather than PC races.
Might I suggest you also look at the Mage Knight and Heroclix figures. They are easy to rebase and I have found lots of PC/NPC figures at low cost.
