Those are great! :o

I love the purple-carapaced thingies. And I really would like to see the phoenix too :!:

EDIT: I found it through Shockwave's posts :D

Yeah, and those purple bug guys are also sold individually on their site.

I'll take some photos once I base everything. Should all end up on Huge/gargantuan bases.

TBH - I don't care about base sizes. Some people might argue about huge vs large... but tactically and mechanically it makes almost 0 effect on a pathfinder/dnd combat so I don't understand why anyone cares about base sizes tbh. So I am going to put them on base sizes that fit the model the best and not worry about "oh, that really shouldn't be gargantuan..." whatever. Its a circle on a battle map :)

It matters for certain mechanics, but yeah, generally, not that much. Also, should someone want to do something (like cast a spell) that takes that into account, the GM can always inform of the monster's actual size for the purposes of mechanics being used correctly.

So I am with you, it's just a circle xD
I would gladly eat omelette made out of Remorhaz eggs.
Just have to get the eggs now. :D

There have also been plenty of tavern sets made...not so many throne room sets.

You would be hard-pressed to find any boosters anywhere in the USA of:

Lost Coast
Crown of Fangs
Reign of Winter
Wrath of the Righteous

There are essentially none on ebay (save a way-over-priced un-opened brick of Lost Coast) and none ever show up either....I keep watch for them. I look in any FLGS I run into for them because they resell so amazingly well. I haven't seen any since COVID of these sets. It might be different in Europe, but here these sets are long since gone from the supply chain since Pazio doesn't re-print them.. You can still find some of the singles floating around, but usually they are either the lesser quality/desired ones or they are crazy expensive (Some of the rares in Wrath go for $60).
Really? I have been told by many people on these boards that Rusty Dragon Inn was one of the best sets ever, for providing so many much needed townsfolk NPCs. It's why I was surprised WDH was not praised more for doing much the same.

There are two decidedly different opinions on NPC, especially non-combatants. While I’m in the camp of if a pre-painted townsfolk is a available then I want it, many don’t want their sets clogged up with such “nonsense”. The same goes for the little bits like magicitems, potions and scroll, and even dungeon dressing as a whole category. Some say “theater of the mind” while others can’t grab them fast enough.
Disclamer: I prefer black bases, and as such have painted many clear bases black. Pictures of my collection will reflect this, varying from the original way the mini was produced.

My singles came in. All around really happy. The Wolf in Sheeps Clothing are great, and the Beetle Carapace and the Afziaka Stalker are stunning. Great two sets.

Another Schleich sale. Not the same as before, more limited. But now I gotta work on basing all these guys!

Also bought 2x pumpkin guys off wizkids and 1x army of dead case today. Happy holidays to me.

Schleich Eldrador stuff arrived at my friend's! Seems the (exclusively sold at their webstore) cube/dungeon-less figures just come in a plastic bag, saves on packaging.

Wow you sure got a whole herd of Goats! I am glad we have a regular one now, the Mountain Goat is a great mini but it's too specific for a wild species.
I do wish the Herexen had a more generic pose. As much as I like her holding that (probably heretical) religious text in her hand, that looks silly when it is so many miniatures, all holding it the same way.
It's why I also only got one of the previous PFB version of the Huecuva, too.

I've been fairly low key on buying lately. Just stuff for my personal collection and a few bundles here and there. Oh and a shitload of promos.

I picked up 12 gingerbread and 12 pumpkin golems just to have some in the trade bins.

I'm working on a bigger deal of a bunch of cases from a closing store. Hoping to complete it this month.
