Minis: What's Missing?

[Jester David]

Assuming one can get a complete set of the Rise of the Runelords miniature set, what's missing?
What metal minis would you need to hunt down? Any official minis that are must haves?

[Jester David]

I ask because I'm thinking about running the hardcover version in many, many moons after my current campaign ends (so I can justify the purchase of the collector's edition to myself).

I like having exact minis for my monsters and since I have the time it would be nice to have all the exact figures I need, especially for key NPCs, villains, or odd monsters that wouldn't be included in my collection of WotC minis.

[Callous Jack]

You could get the paper minis, they have everything you need. (Just saying...)
:-)

[Jester David]

They pawns look pretty cool (and I regularly recommend saving for them them to new players) but then I need to buy the bestiary box and they look less cool beside all my metal and plastic minis.

I've been buying the D&D Minis since they started coming out, so I've already invested in that.

[Rakshaka]

Monsters in AP:

Of note that I can think of, assuming the APs mostly the same
1) Bunyip, Tentamort
2) Scarecrow Flesh Golem (Reaper makes a good metal mini)
3) Mammy Graul, Dorella Kreeg, Hags for Hag Coven, Barl Breakbones
4) Seems like its pretty well covered here. Maybe the Kobold Barbarian.
5) Huge White Dragon, Stone Golem with a Bow.
6) Gargantuan Undead Tree, The Hidden Beast, Huge Blue Dragon.
Some of these, like the dragons and hags are available in DDM.

[Jester David]

That's a great list, thanks.
Looks like there's one in 2) and a couple in 3) I can get as metal.

[Mazra]

Here are a few suggestions for minis not found in the DDM sets from Rakshaka's list:

spoiler:

1.) Bunyip The Horror Clix Nessie is what I used.

spoiler:

2.) Scarecrow Flesh Golem The World of Warcraft Harvest Golem is what I used. It was just about perfect!

spoiler:

2.) Mammy Graul Horror Clix's Big Bertha was suggested to me not long ago on this board; and I picked up one for cheap. I had been running RotR, but suspended it to get the Anniversary edition and new RotR minis. The party is just setting out for Turtleback Ferry.

May your party survive!

[HangarFlying]

Oh yes, that Big Bertha will work quite nicely!

[HangarFlying]

Do the paper minis have art for each "named" creature?

* - who the heck are these guys? I can't find them in the adventure.

Haldmeer Grobaras is the Lord-Mayor of Magnimar. He isn't written to have any involvement in combat (YMMV), so I wouldn't worry about a mini for him. He has information in the Magnimar book and, I believe, AP #2 in the Magnimar gazetteer, and is mainly a questgiver NPC in the AP as written. Gobblalas I'm not sure about, unless you took Haldmeer's last name as a different character.

[HangarFlying]

You know what! It's his last name but it's spelled wrong on the RotRL face card page! I was looking at it on my iPad and it rendered the last name below the first name and thought they were two different people.

I'm planning on using this mini for Lonjiku Kaijutsu

Anyone found anythign good for tentamort? I'm leaning towards darkmantle for now from DDM

[pogre]

Did there used to be a metal version of Gogmurt in the Reaper line?

[Mazra]

Yeah. That is what I used. But, I am open to ideas about something better.

Cheers,

[Jester David]

Is Jaagrath Kreeg the same as Hookmaw Kreeg?

[HangarFlying]

No, Jaagrath is the leader of the clan and Hookmaw's dad.

[Jester David]

Okay, metal minis from Reaper include:

spoilers, sweetie:

Dorella Kreeg
Scarecrow Flesh Golem
Hookmaw Kreeg
Shalelu Andosana

While there's plastic already Nualia the "Nualia & Erylium" set is nice for Erylium

Nessie & Big Bertha from HorrorClix are also pretty handy.

What I likely don't have, which look hard to find equivalents for are:

spoilers, sweetie:

The Hidden Beast
Black Magga
Omox demon
Shemhazain demon
Hound of Tindalos

No, but there is a new one as of Paizo Con.

[jimibones83]

"Nessie" that Mazra recommended would be perfect for the black magga. to bad it looks to only be large

[Jester David]

An omission in this list is Justice Ironbriar who does not have a plastic mini but has a metal Reaper mini (that I missed)

http://paizo.com/products/btpy8bwt?Pathfinder-Miniatures-Justice-Ironbriar

For Black Magga the tentacle minis might work best

personally I dislike metal minis. I don't own any. I've got hundreds of plastic ones
