Plastic fantasy figs

Check this LINK out, scroll down until you see the sets with Dwarves, goblins, elves, adventurers, etc. they are 1:72 scale and the price ain't bad either!

Nice way to put together a horde!

Yeah, but soft plastic? The swords are all bendy and misshapen.

The orcs look a bit like bugbears. You could paint them differently to assume different races/species.

I was thinking for wargaming purposes.

Adventurers, orcs, undead, goblins - all you really need!

So, umm, why is it that in that adventurers pack 11 of the minis look like normal fantasy adventurer-types (some warriors, some wizards, a thief, a couple elves, etc.) but the 12th one is a massive demon-thing with huge ears?

Don't just look at the fantasy figs. A lot of the ancient and medieval figs would work for a fantasy game, too.

Because in the original woodgrain pre-Tolkien estate lawsuit OD&D boxed set, a player could conceivably play a Balrog, provided they started out as "young"

(It's in there, honest!)

not sure why it's there but t looks curiously enough like a very big Tunnel and Trolls troll.

Isn't 1:72 scale tiny?

wothbora · Post by **wothbora** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 10:17 am

1:72 scale: 1 inch equals 72 inches or 6 feet...

These look great, particularly the adventurers (like you said a great way to build a hord). So is this the standard scale for mini's or smaller? And just what are the typical sizes for AD&D minis like Ral Parthas etc?

Matthew · Post by **Matthew** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 3:02 pm

As far as I am aware, Ral Partha do small (25 mm), medium (28 mm) and large (28+ mm).

I think that most of their early stuff is 25 mm, whilst the more modern products tend to be larger.
