D&D Miniature Ranges ... are any worth buying ?

Serin has got the core D&D rules (ver 3.5) for Xmas and is busy creating characters and his game world as we speak :roll:

Do any of you more experienced miniature guys know if there is a
good range of D&D figures available. I've taken a look at the
"official" ones and they look a bit odd to me, so I wondered if you knew
of any ranges that look a bit better.

well the down sides are

can't paint them
are kind of like rubber

the up sides are

cost less
if really into it can be very fun

lol, Dagorlad-jnr also got the D&D basic game for Christmas (we had a lovely time 'monster bashing' the other day). I was thinking of using some of the larger and/or more erm 'heroic' LOTR figures (Glorfindel, Imrahil, Rangers, etc), but will look into some of Reaper's fantasy line too - they are great figures and very 'D&D' in flavour.

Yes it's great isn't it Dag. We are still wading throught the Basic D&D
sets. The original and we've still got to do the expansion
with the Ice Dragon. I am Jaldis the Cleric. :wink:

I'm a nutter of course...we can use the figures in these sets
as basic figures and perhaps expand on those instead. :oops:

Also the boards could come in handy too !

@Azog - try this link for a range of manufacturers...

My faves are Copplestone, Black Tree and Gripping Beast, but it depends on what you want (monsters or heroes?).

Happy browsing.

Think Wizards of the Coast do a Metal set of figures which are quite good, certainly my DM had a set. But we tend to use a range of figures, someone is a halfling and the Frodo model does just great. Others come from D&D Metal range, GW Mordheim and Reaper.
mm maybe he's back from Oz soo we can start up again, think its time t dust off Nygyll's Clerical spell list, gotta love Divine Power, but can't wait to get Rightgeous Might
