A D&D Miniatures Game Product (D&D Miniatures Product):
Book by Wizards Team. Wizards of the Coast Misc. Supplies Published 2003-09-01. Description: The Harbinger Expansion Packs contain a randomized selection of figures designed to expand any collection of D&D miniatures. Composed of the same randomized miniatures found in the Entry Pack, the figures in the Harbinger set are drawn directly from the character classes and monsters described in the three Dungeons & Dragons¨ core rulebooks. Playable right out of the box, D&D Miniatures can be used to add three-dimensional definition to any roleplaying game campaign, and they can also be used to play skirmish and mass-battle combat scenarios.
Expansion pack components: - 8 randomized miniatures with statistics cards
Details on the new D&D Miniatures line: - Miniatures are pre-painted plastic and range between 40 mm and 65 mm in height - There are 80 unique miniatures in the first set release - All miniatures packages are randomized and are made up of rare, uncommon, and common miniatures - All miniatures in the product line will be drawn directly from the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game rulebooks and accessory books
- Review:: 'Best thing to happen to D&D Miniatures yet Merric's Law of Miniatures: Non-Random Packaging, Cheap Prices, and a Large Range of Figures: Choose two Okay, I have to admit I don't love random packaging, but it dose have it's advantages. It allows retailers to carry the product with less fear of less popular models colecting dust and costing them money. It allows for singluar packaging design, and random allotment on the maufacturing end. It allows the Customer to get 8 FULLY PAINTED plastic miniatures for the price of 2-3 of their unpainted, unassembled, metal counterparts. Also since plastic is cheaper than tin/pewter the figures tend to be larger and more robustly sculpted. Personally the convenience of them being prepainted alone is incentive enough for me. When it comes down to getting 7 painted figures or 2-3 I'll never get around to painting myslef, the choice is clear. Painting miniatures is a hobby in itself and not one we all have the time to indulge in. The miniatures come with dual stat cards for each figure. D&D Miniatures skirmish rules and D$D 3.5 stats. These cards are valuable enough that they could be a product by themselves and their value should not be understated.
- Review:: 'Harbinger Expansion Pack The Harbinger and Dragon Eye expansions are a great way of accumulating miniatures for your roleplaying enjoyment. Don't expect any professional paint jobs using dry brush and ink techniques, and you'll be well pleased. For the price, this is the way to go to quickly enjoy miniatures battles.
For those that enjoy customizing/painting miniatures, these provide a suitable paint foundation to expand upon. Rather than having to start from the ground up as you would w/typical miniatures you buy for $5 a pop, you can quickly improve upon the look of the miniature through your own drybrush and inking techniques straight out of the box. Add ground cover and you've got a professional looking miniature that closely rivals lead-based. Another advantage of using plastic miniatures is their ability to withstand being tossed around more during battle, or in storage. Paint on lead-based miniatures tend to chip more often due to their shear weight and inflexibility when colliding with other miniatures or objects. The drawback w/plastic is that many long swords on these miniatures look more like melted taffy than strong and dangerous instruments of destruction. Have fun!
- Review:: 'VERY nice miniatures I was really excited to see the miniatures when I received it by mail. I opened the box and was really surprised of the quality of the miniatures. They are extremely well sculpted and 95% of the time they are reasonably to very well painted. They save lots of painting hours thats for sure!
Great buy!
- Review:: 'Expansion packs are a good way to go. For a complete review of the harbinger miniature line, please see my post on the entry pack...
What should be stated in addition to that previous post is that the price per miniature is cheaper (even though it provides fewer miniatures than the entry pack) - the expansion packs DO NOT provide the terrain cards, fold-out map, 20-sided die, or rulebook. Expansions packs are a great way to bulk-up on your collection. However, as you start to collect more expansion packs - you will increasingly be provided with the common miniatures that you no longer want and will still be missing some of the more rare miniatures that you desire. This is the result of randomized packaging. Your only hope is to sell your undesired miniatures individually or hope to trade groups of them for a single rare miniature (others like having tons of common miniatures for mass battles). I only gave the expansion pack 3 stars because I would like to see the price per miniature to be lower, or for them to increase the number of miniatures per package. It should also be noted that the Harbinger series is going to be the BASE miniature line for D&D for maybe a year. After the next series, Dragoneye, is released - the harbinger expansion packs are likely to become unavailable (although the entry packs should be available for the year).
- Review:: 'Uneven, but worth the ticket price ... Having read the many mixed reviews of the new D&D miniatures, it was with some hesitation that I took the plunge and bought a few packs. Like those reviewers whom I found most convincing, I think the miniatures, while flawed, are a good value for the money spent.
As others have said, quality of painting and sculpting varies wildly from figure to figure. Most of them -- say, 70 to 75 percent -- stack up pretty well against the typical amateur's paint job. A few -- 20 percent -- are noticeably better, and a very few -- 5 to 10 percent (Axe Sister, anyone?) -- are horrendous. Here's the short version: If you like painting your own figures, and have the time to do so in the numbers a typical D&D game requires, these probably aren't for you. But if you'd like to assemble and use anywhere from a dozen to a couple hundred colorful models, sized and sculpted specifically for D&D ... the D&D miniatures are worth your $1.25 each.
