D&D Nolzurs Marvelous Unpainted Miniatures: Wave 1: Kobolds

If you want to take up painting fantasy miniatures for gaming or just as a hobby, the Nolzur's Marvelous line of miniatures are the best out there right now. I just finished these kobolds, and they will mix in nicely with the horde. Even the tiny parts are much sturdier than what you would get in a box of prepainted miniatures from WOTC or Pathfinder. They take paint very well without primer or cleaning. The sculpts are some of the best I've ever seen. There are plenty of groves and cuts to highlight and make them stand out well on the table top.

Smaller than Bones minis but much more detailed and for a great price. I have purchased about 20 or so of them and they are fantastic. Warning though, flash lines are a little hard to get rid of and some of the assembly of larger models could have been filled in such as the displacer beast's tentacles where they connect to the body. Otherwise they are extremely well done and I probably will collect them all.

Fast service and the miniatures looked great. Fantastic detail and they mount on the enclosed bases quickly and easily. I've enjoyed this line far more than the prepainted blind box mins that D&D also sells. These are a great cost for three miniatures and you know exactly what you're getting.

I decided to play a kobold in a campaign that my daughters boyfriend was running and these minis really were perfect. The attention to detail on it is excellent and it has a nice variation in weapon and poses. Painted up well, will try and add a picture when I can pull it out of the D&D mini case. Definitely recommend this brand of minis and the kobold ones in particular.

I really it came exactly on time and how I wanted them to be.

So I have several complaints, more about how this item was posted then anything else, and a little on the product itself. The models are to scale as any small humanoids should be and the details are great. I haven't painted them yet but I am looking forward to when they are finished. Big negatives, The advertised Picture is 1 of 3 models in the pack. All 3 are in great detail. The bases are thin black unattached like any models from this product line. I had to trim off a significant amount of flash on the models, made worse by the pre-priming these models come with, as it clots out some of the detail along the flash areas. This has been a pain to remove and has been a reoccurring issue with any models I have bought from this line. If the flash was trimmed prior to their pre-priming process, it would be a great convenience, but due to the time I have to spend fixing these issues, I would prefer to be able to buy an unprimed version. Great models for a good price, just expect to put some work into them to make them come out great.

Good details, pre-prime worked well, and they were easy to paint, and have kept well.

Great detail, fun to paint, but overpriced on Amazon! MSRP $4.95 elsewhere.. :<
