Dungeons & Lasers: NPC Miniatures Pack

These are fantastically detailed and full of character. It takes a while to assemble all of them, but they are well labelled and fit together intuitively. The price per model is unbeatable. The only drawback is that they are on a slightly smaller scale than many other standard models. That said, considering that these are NPC townspeople and not heroes, being slightly smaller than adventurers, orcs, etc. makes sense in context.

You cannot beat this deal for so many amazingly sculpted minis!

Includes some monsters as well as towns folk. Took a few hours to assemble but all the figures are pretty well detailed for their size. I think they're around 28mm.

There are SO MANY minis to build in here, and there are a lot of fun and interesting sculpts. Mine was missing the instruction manual, but I contacted the brand and they sent me a digital copy within the day. This would be a great pack for someone looking to get into building models, or looking to massively add to theI collection.

Dungeons & Lasers: NPC Miniatures Pack To be perfectly honest, I bought this set by mistake - I had intended to purchase Dungeons & Lasersu2019 u201cTownsfolku201d box set, but I wasnu2019t paying attention and bought this instead. I am really glad I didnu2019t return it! At Miniature Marketu2019s price of $50.99, this set is an incredible bargain. There are 68 miniatures in the box - thatu2019s an average of 76 cents per miniature, and when you consider that the figures range in size from kids and kobolds up through an iron golem, thatu2019s a heck of a deal! And thatu2019s not counting the bases - ONE HUNDRED AND TWO of them, all molded with textured surfaces. There are three frames of bases, each of which has 31 small bases (25mm) and 3 larger bases (50mm). The quality of the miniatures is very good, as is the u201cengineeringu201d of their assembly. There are visible seams when some parts are assembled, but in many cases the seams are hidden under clothing or at a natural joint where they are very hard to spot. (I have included a photo of one of the gnolls, primed and hit with a quick wash just to compensate for my lack of camera skills . . .) Some of the components are very fine, so a little care should be taken when removing some of the parts from the sprue. The sculpts of the miniatures range from very normal, everyday Medieval or Renaissance humans to a goblin with a rocket pack, u201cMayor Bulbou201d (who would look quite at home in a Miyazaki film), and, well, I never did figure out exactly what u201cMagnus, Warrior of the Stormu201d is . . . Some of them are creepy, some of them are funny, and a lot of them are pretty cool. The poses are very well done, again covering a wide spectrum from standing to dancing to charging. Downsides? None of significance. It doesnu2019t bother me at all that 11 of the miniatures are duplicates (but three of those have different arm options. . .) and there are three copies of the two kobolds, but I can see where it might be irritating to some. It did take me a little hunting to realise that the third of each kobold sculpt was numbered differently, but I eventually figured it out. I would definitely recommend this set - whether for gaming, diorama work, or even learning how to assemble and paint miniatures. Itu2019s going to take me a while to get all of these folks assembled and painted, but Iu2019m definitely going to enjoy every minute of it!
