Well, now you have to do a video on your smallest minis.
Bring balance to the force.
This is a good idea.
“Nameless Drow Elf miniature...” do I sense some resentment towards Drizzt? ;D
Who?
My Largest mini is the Gargantuan Black Dragon. Found it for a $1 at a thrift store. I walked by it and was like hey wait a minute.
What! For real? Dang that might be the best deal I have ever heard of!
i got all the gargantuan dragons
@@shanenice5380 ya gotta get the new gargantuan white dragon lol, i got it a few days ago and OH MY GOD its awesome
The same thing happened to me with the Gargantuan Blue Dragon, but unfortunately sold it, but I did get quite a bit for it haha
That is so lucky holy
That drow that came with the gargantuan white dragon was drizzt
No I am pretty sure it's a nameless drow of no importance.
So it is...
"Thrifting." I like that term and consider myself a fellow thrifter. There is something strangely fun about the hunt for a good deal. And there is something even more satisfying when you do find a really great deal. I've made a few and each one has significantly boosted my minis.
It's how the original D&D monsters came to be!
You probably know this but getting a dragon or two from Michaels can be a great deal if you play their sales, and coupons game well. I've got both a red and green dragon from them that both look great on the table.
I am so glad I snagged a Colossal Red Dragon miniature with box back when I did. The price for it now is about five times what I paid.
Someone was getting rid of his collection and I misunderstood him that he owned that dragon. He probably ended up giving it away to a local comic book store back in Northern NY. That really saddened me because he offered to give me some of his minis but I didn't think he was serious about just giving away his collection. The guys at the comic book store were jerks and some of of the stuff they got donated they had on display but wouldn't sell it to anyone.
i am glad i got him
@@Blandco alot of bussines,is like that.i don't sell my stuff,i just keep it used as display
I got about 15 of those McFarlane dragons off eBay for $100 then resold 5 for the same price :) they make great dragons for DnD
Good deal!
I love the Storm Giant mini at the beginning. Maybe to explain the minis size, he's a Storm Giant Mage who's at the end of his life, growing weaker with age after studying and hannessing the elemental powers for all his life.
I had a chance to buy Icingdeath NIB at a Borders book store years ago. Sadly I made the poor mistake of leaving it on the shelf. . .
I don't think anyone could have foreseen the popularity of D&D and yet the downfall of premium miniatures!
@@Blandco Would be nice if they brought back the premium minis though.

Do I have news for you...
That's an Ancient Wyrm from Ultima Online, I have one too and its one of the toughest creatures in the game . Like the video, makes me want to do one with all of my random miniature thrift finds.
Love using McFarlane Dragons for D&D, the sculpts are very hit and miss, but some of them are just AMAZING.
The way he talks cracks me up
It's raining it's raining in the middle of winter!
It was!
This is what i need some massive minis 👍 great miniatures
My largest miniature is the Honorable Knight at about a foot tall.
I have that one too and love him! It also opened up the possibilities of getting much larger non-D&D figures. I now have the Dwarven Colossus figure from Skyrim Online and Liberty Prime statue from Fallout 4. If you're okay with including Steampunk in your D&D Campaigns, then these 2 are huge and would be a perfect fit!!
The Big blue guy's name is Vindicator Maraad, a Draenei palladin introduced in the Burning Crusade. I suppose his alignment would be lawful good.
I meant to add that it's a shame he's missing his mace, "The Hammer of the Naaru" because it's one of the cooler looking weapons in the game
That's the good stuff! I have a number of those Warcraft action figures I want to make usable on the tabletop. Thanks for sharing!!
I have a conversion video you might like then... firbolg
@@addictedtominisandlovingit3912 Sweet! I'll check it out
@@CraftsAndMinis what ya think?
@@addictedtominisandlovingit3912 Great work with the addition of the robes. It turned out awesome!
@@CraftsAndMinis the beard was a fun touch as well haha
That last Statue is very impressive.
Some nice figures! I'll have to look for some McFarlane dragons now...
Don't pay too much for one! The prices have gone down recently.
While not technically a d&d miniature, the largest one I have is the big boi c'thulhu from the board game C'thulhu: death may die, looking forward to painting him.
The Draeni in Warcraft 3 are called The Broken. He is only from the MMO.
Now I wonder how many giant dragons one really needs. Besides love the Runegiant never gotten to play the „rise of the Runelords“ campaign and nowadays I just can’t go back from dnd 5e to pathfinder. Anyway cool video:)
Very true! As I said I have NEVER used my largest Ultima dragon for anything despite owning it since 2011!
I have the cyclops for Gruumsh and i think the same boar with a platform on its back to carry savage orcs in Warhammer.
Sick scores, bro! 😁🤣👍.
Great job!
Dollar tree sells a knock of line of the schleic mold dinosaurs. They are hollow and the mouths don't move, and the quality is not great.
I will have to check that out.
I hate it when it rains during winter, be snow or be nothing
The weather was crazy!
Owlbears
OWLBEARS!
Nice collection
I think I’ll have to do a similar video
Please do!
Nice bigiatures:)
Can we see your rarest miniatures
I could probably do that!
That would be a fun video!
6:14 that's Maraad I think, he's a draenei paladin that played an important role in WoD
What is the set sizes for miniatures? Wanting to start making some but can't seem to find any set "rules" for DnD. Thanks, cool collection.
I’m sort of stuck. I got a bunch of miniatures from a Salvation Army (Essentially Australian Goodwill) plus a few other pre primed, unpainted miniatures and I’m not sure where to get the paint from. Now obviously I don’t want to break the bank, I want to roughly get the essential paints for around $50 or lower. A few weeks ago Zing had a D&D paint set in stock for $40 but that has gone out of stock and has vanished from the website leaving only the $140 monster set. Currently I’ve found a warhammer contrast paints set for $55 at Games workshop and a $46 D&D paint set at another RPG store that’s name can’t really come to mind now. What’s your opinion? Do you think I should go for the contrast or the D&D one? Keep in mind this is my first campaign I’m running and the first one my friends have ever played so I was just thinking if nothing shows up I’ll leave them unpainted for this session. So warhammer, D&D, unpainted or some other genius idea from you?
I'm not sure what the situation is in Australia. Many people just use craft paint that is thinned down. I took a class with the crafting Muse and that used straight up craft paint and got amazing results. I still use craft paint. So check to see if there is a hobby store near you that sells it. Don't order craft paint online since shipping will be too expensive. Also see if there is a gaming shop near you that sells the Vallejo line for a cheap price. I know the prices in Australia are different.
If you are worried about price than the contrast line and the official d&d line are going to be way too expensive. Look for army painter sets on clearance or any of the board game paint sets that have a good assortment. But again checking your local hobby store for craft paint or Vallejo sets might be an option. Get acrylic water based paints! Avoid enamel. They don't mix well with acrylic.
I wish I could give better advice but I know Australia has way different pricing when it comes to hobby stuff. The smaller d&d paint set might actually be a good option if nothing else is around. You will get way more use out of a d&d set than the contrast set when you are starting out in my opinion.
@@Blandco Thanks for the help man! This really narrowed down my decision, Thanks alot.
I have deathsleet in metal
Not issues with the bendy legs with that version!
@@Blandco i got it from gamekastle.com for $18
My biggest is cmon bigthulhu
That is a big one!
@@Blandco some would say it is too big.
So what your telling me....is to stop looking for miniatures and start looking for conversions....duly noted
I got the gargantuan red dragon
and the dragon age dragon??
I had to sell it.
Where the tarasque at??
I don't own one.
Great video! I have only been collecting miniatures for about a year now, but have amassed quite a number of non-D&D miniatures. I have about 6 of the McFarlane dragons at this point and several dozen monster and dragon figures from various games, movies and anime that fit perfectly into the D&D setting. In fact, here's a treat for you and your viewers. Go to bigbadtoystore.com and do a search for "Dragon Age Inquisition High Dragon Exclusive Figure." It is a very cool looking dragon and you can't beat the price!!! I promise that it is well worth your time to check it out! Thanks again for the awesome video!
Don’t you have the kracken as well?
I had to sell that model
Sexiest minis & sculps, for next video?
Speaking of huge minis... I had a question.
I know scale isn't necessarily important and they're just meant to represent characters/creatures.
Maybe not really 1:1.
But I've always wondered why the Ashardalon Dragon mini is smaller (just barely) than the Balor mini, when part of ashardalon's lore states that Ashardalon has his heart replaced with a balor? Shouldn't ashardalon be 10 times the size of that balor?
How big is ashardalon anyway?
Sorry.
These are the goofy things I think about.
The Ashardalon miniature is represented by an older Hasbro red dragon miniature. So I am not sure if it's in scale!
@@Blandco i don't think it would be possible to accurately portray ashardalon in scale. I seem to remember once reading that at the end of his life, he was massive. Considering that some Dragons when they die, can become new mountains in the land, that makes sense.
More Cringle pls
I was afraid of using Kringle too much because of the new UA-cam policies but I am going to bring him back more.
Niiiiiiiice :--)
Some of these are not D&D figures
Anything can be a D&D miniature. That is how the game started.
I’m the 430th person to like
Congrats cube person!
