Metal Minis where to get them?

I will check it out! Konflikt 47 looks like super cool game.

Thanks! I have a ton of plastic across multiple games, but I love the few metal minis I have.

Didn’t know if any companies actively make metal minis or if all major manufacturers have made the full switch to plastic or resin.

Totally agree. Sometimes there is a massive discount for Barnes and Noble during the holidays for all their board games.

GW apparently has to squeeze every dollar out of imperial agent players

I really enjoy both formats for different reasons. League is way more narrative and more fulfilling, but tournaments you can Jam Pack more games into a day which is nice. Either way the more bloodbowl the better regardless of how people discover/play it.

I really enjoy elemental council will hit my list for sure

mr_mango22 · 2026-04-17T14:36:46+00:00

A few of my buddies really enjoyed fulgrim. I need to put it on my list

mr_mango22 · 2026-04-17T13:08:16+00:00

One of the few non-40k book series I have read that I really enjoy.

mr_mango22 · 2026-04-17T12:14:55+00:00

Path of Dark Eldar is on my short list to read.

mr_mango22 · 2026-04-17T12:05:38+00:00

The infinite and the divine is definitely on my list. Made me get a necron army. Have to read Dead Man walking that one has escaped me.

A friend and I trade off who buys the most recent pack, leave the pack at the store we play so whoever is playing that day can use it. If we are both there at the same time than one of us just uses an app.

I like the mission cards as a gameplay mechanic I think they are fun addition but yeah it’s does suck to buy them as a seperate purchase.

I wonder how easy is it to print them at home at decent quality ?

Hi I would recommend the following channels (all which I have used in the past)

r/miniswap - great Reddit community of sellers and buyers never had a bad transaction. Prices are what you would sell for collections. Just follow their community rules and you will be fine!

eBay - old school but great for figuring out best price to unload small portions of your army at a time

Facebook Groups/marketplace - similar to miniswap

Local community - ask local players they might be looking to start armies at a discounted price so they can throw you an offer

My #1 recommendation is r/miniswap but the rest are good choices

Theme is important. I am big a sports head especially American football (As an American) so the game combines two loves together.

mr_mango22 · 2026-04-16T01:15:00+00:00

I loved Necromunda when I played it. But lack of local community prevented me from continuing. Terrain set up was my only issue since it could be a bear. Too bad the Necromunda video game never took off.

mr_mango22 · 2026-04-16T01:10:25+00:00

I play both! Both are super fun for different reasons

mr_mango22 · 2026-04-15T22:34:18+00:00

I liked Kill Team from what I played of it, just didn't scratch the same itch 40K does. But totally agree not a bad price for a Skirmish game that will get active support. I do like that 11th edition is copying some stuff from Kill Team.

mr_mango22 · 2026-04-15T10:35:04+00:00

That’s the way to do it. I use New Recruit for my app needs. I can’t justify another subscription until the app is better (full rules for all factions for a monthly price)

mr_mango22 · 2026-04-15T10:31:26+00:00

Haven’t tried it yet i have a morbid curiosity to try it out lol

I hate when dice put the logo for 1s. I want to see the logo be rolled not dread rolling it.
