Plastic crack junkies are just like any other addicts. GW also makes a LotR mini war game called “Middle Earth.” I’m less familiar with the 3rd party and secondary markets for that game, but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if you found whole armies of those minis dirt cheap on eBay too. Then they take that army which cost them another couple hundred dollars in supplies and likely a couple hundred hours of their time to assemble and paint, and sell it on eBay for half of what they spent on just the models. ( Like, $35 for 20 unassembled, unpainted goblins, when you would need closer to 100 minis to start half of an army.😱) So there are lots of smaller companies that make pretty nice yet less expensive minis “absolutely not intended to infringe on GW’s IP at all” (wink, nudge, hinthint).Īlso, Mini War Gamers are plastic crack junkies, so in order to partially find their hobby habit lots of people buy the models to make an army (for somewhere around $500-$1,000 no joke), assemble and paint them to standard (which is a requirement RAW), and play it until they decide they gotsta have something else. It’s a miniature war game so it requires a loottt of minis, and GW’s stuff is really nice and really expensive. That game is by a company called Games Workshop which is owned by Hasbro, the same company that owned WotC. You might find something nice enough and less expensive if you try looking for minis intended for a game called Age of Sigmar (formerly called Warhammer Fantasy). There is really no such thing as a reasonably priced nice mini. You can get nice minis, or you can get reasonably priced minis. there are resources online for some, but they're not hard to make on your own just by folding paper and maybe using a bit of glue or a stapler.

If you've got a printer, you could also invest in some thicker printer paper and print out some paper minis. Or if the party is getting ambushed by a group of bandits all with different skills and abilities, you can use a different colored meeple for each one so the player could basically say, "I'm going to cast Sleep and aim it to get Green, Blue, and Purple all in the area of effect". You could, for example, have a goblin raid set up, and just declare that all the Yellow Meeples are townsfolk and all the green meeples are Goblins, and maybe toss in a few red Meeples and declare them to be Hobgoblins.

They are just tiny little barely humanoid-shaped wooden figures, but you get a ton of them for fairly little money and they come in a variety of colors. I mostly play digitally, but my brother swears by Meeples ( here's a link to some on Amazon). Like, here's a simple pack of 56 low-quality minis. If you don't mind lower quality, you can buy packs of toys online at places like Amazon.

Miniature Market is probably your best bet for getting more affordable stuff, but there's not really a good place to just get a lot of generic tokens at a cheap price that are of good quality. Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures
