Cheap minions for my dungeon - 1/72 plastics

[Sunjester]

I have been playing a lot more Sellswords dungeon-type scenarios recently, so I need some cheap low-level sword fodder https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2024/01/cheap-dungeon-minions-172-plastics.html

Great idea for cheap adversaries!
I have quite a bit of these 1/72 Dark Alliance figures. Heads-up...these Anubis warriors are taller than most of the others in the line, so even if they blend ok with your 25-28mm some of the others might be too small.

You have the trolls and cyclops, I think the Minotaurs might be compatible with your Oathmark, but not as imposing minotaurs, but more like another group of "beastmen" to go with these dog-headed warriors.

Nice paint work, Graham!  You and Hobgoblin found a similar alternative for stocking up with monsters for frugal gaming.  Mine are all on black bases so I can use them for outdoors or indoors games on the tabletop.  Not the most attractive of bases, but they work for me.

Those should give you a lot more pose variety than the Blacklist Games monster miniatures, too!

I'm not sure if Dark Alliance/Red Box or Caesar/Miniknight have many plans for future fantasy releases?

Caesar hasn't released a new fantasy set in years, although they seem to be recasting some of the old sets and releasing them on the market again.

Here's a photo showing the scaling of those Minotaurs:

How do those minotaurs stack up against a 28mm figure?

[Pattus Magnus]

In the linked picture, a minotaur is next to (I think) a Victrix viking and they appear to be pretty much eye-to-eye. The Viking is slightly taller, due to wearing a helmet.

Gah, for some reason that photo didn't load me the first time. Seems that it works for a pony-sized minotaur

[Hobgoblin]

Those Anubis type are looking good, Sunjester!

In case it helps anyone with the minotaurs, here's a scale shot with Perry and Fireforge knights. I'd say the minotaurs are roughly the size of GW ungors.

i like it!

Another advantage of 1/72 scale is the fact that they need fewers storage space! In your gaming bags as well as in your cabinet

I've painted up a few more and some Caesar Orcs, https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2024/01/more-cheap-dungeon-minions.html

They appear to work really well as goblins fighting that Oathmark elf! I like your painting on them.
