So, I think that adding some miniatures to my game will be tons of fun. Unfortunately, I'm...awful...at painting. I'm already planning to drop a small mint on the official Paizo miniatures when they come out, but I was thinking maybe I'd get miniatures for each of my players for Christmas. Can anyone suggest a good source? If it's helpful, I'm looking for some approximation:
Halfling Rogue (Female)
Gnome Barbarian
Elvish Wizard
Human Sorcerer
Human Cleric
Human Two-weapon Fighter
Thanks for anything you can offer!
Your best resource is Reaper Minis. And they have a pretty good search mechanism at their
site.
I wouldn't restrict your ebay searches to D&D miniatures. The Mage Knight miniatures are cheaper and many are of equal quality. Since you are looking for human figures, there are lots of miniatures from different sources that would fit what you are looking for.
I would search eBay for "fantasy miniature" and might even do separate searches for "human sorcerer miniature" etc...
If you have a game store nearby you should check to see if they sell any of the prepainted collections from Reaper, Wizards of the Coast, WizKids or if they have consignment miniatures for sale (most of the ones I frequent have a fairly large collection of used prepainted miniatures for sale).
I also wouldn't be so hesitant to paint your own. It's really not hard to do a decent paint job. Even I can do it, and I'm about as artistically challenged as you can get.
