Nearly 200 minis for $100 pledge & still more minis to be added. These minis are ideal for DCC.

I'm selling a LARGE collection of old school Grenadier and Ral Partha minis from the 70s, 80s, and 90s on eBay. UserID = beer_motor. Will be listing more every day until the whole group is gone. Also going to sell a big collection of painting supplies (GW paints).
Buy my stuff cheap!

That sounds awesome! I know my players would be more keen to use paper minis if we could just print off new ones when they get better loot.tovokas wrote:(And I have some ideas about a paper miniature creating utility that would allow you to update your character over time with new gear, wounds, corruption... Still very early, but this is likely something I'll be working on in 2013.)
"The Shamrock Shake is a frosty, minty symbol of all that we hold dear. It is shameful that we as a people cannot enjoy this proud, symbolic beverage any more than one week a year. Unless the British government loosens its iron grip on this most Irish of shakes, the streets will once again run red with English blood." - Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein, the IRA's political wing.

I threw some money at that Reaper Kickstarter. They just crossed 1.5 million and the $100 backers are getting a ton of stuff. Even though I rarely have the time anymore, I do like to paint!

If I didn't have something in the vicinity of 600 unpainted miniatures, I'd probably be excited about the Reaper thing... ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Seriously, I will jump in the bandwagon. (Maybe only at the 60$ level though.. still a good deal and I don't need so much pirate/space hulk/vermin minis.)

I'm new to painting minis so any advice is welcome. How do you make your bases? They look really good!raskal wrote:On the top of the right colum you have a translating tool.cthulhudarren wrote:I visited your site, saw the wall of French text, and was scared away!

It's very simple :cthulhudarren wrote: ../..

1. Models are glued on wood bases of 20mm square (Litko)
2. I use a texture on the base (Armageddon Dust from Games Workshop). You can also use modelism sand and glue
3. I dry brush with white sand color (Prince August)
4. Some static grass is glued

Some women (always from Mega Miniatures)

Re: What miniatures are good for 0-level play?
While I have about 25 years worth of collecting miniatures to pull from, I am planning on using the Game Dorn and the threatened city of "Argos" for the basis of our upcoming Isle of the Unknown DCC campaign. Take a look. It's a cool board game, but immediately I thought it would make a great spot to begin our sandbox tour of the weird!
Dorn!

The pieces are small so they are probably about a centimeter in diameter. But, the afforded portability and versatility is worth while for a game like DCC. Here is the game being played:
