Dungeons & Lasers: NPC Miniatures Pack To be perfectly honest, I bought this set by mistake - I had intended to purchase Dungeons & Lasers’ “Townsfolk” box set, but I wasn’t paying attention and bought this instead. I am really glad I didn’t return it! At Miniature Market’s price of $50.99, this set is an incredible bargain. There are 68 miniatures in the box - that’s 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, that’s a heck of a deal! And that’s 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 “engineering” 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, “Mayor Bulbo” (who would look quite at home in a Miyazaki film), and, well, I never did figure out exactly what “Magnus, Warrior of the Storm” 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 doesn’t 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. It’s going to take me a while to get all of these folks assembled and painted, but I’m definitely going to enjoy every minute of it!
