Wizkids "Nolzur's" Miniatures - Bones alternative - any thoughts?

[Elbows]

Not to mention people are forgetting that you can run an Orc as a hero/player character...and if you're not encountering Orcs, then you don't need 8-10.

For my money?  Still happy with my Reaper Bones kickstarter miniatures, and not planning to get into Nolzur's minis.  I got my hands on some for a few moments at a con last weekend, and here are a few reasons:

• I interact with kids on a fairly regular basis, and bones takes a beating from 5 year old hands very well.  Better, I suspect, than these will.  They feel like they will break long before a similar bones miniature.
• The designs are are quite D&D, and so aesthetically speaking I think they're bland.
• A lot of detail, as others have said, are -too- fine.  So fine as to be kinda invisible at the distance of a tabletop.  This may be more of a backhanded compliment than a criticism and YMMV
• Path dependence: I have a bunch of GW minis, reaper minis, and others of that nature.  The scale of these deep cuts is aggressively realistic, designed in a computer, and unfortunately clashes badly with the more exaggerated proportions of what I already have.  For humanoids anyway.

Overall, a solid product, definitely great monsters (I considered getting a gryphon but already have gryphons).  I wish wizkids luck, because better things might lie in the future.  But I'm all set already for this sort of fare, and nothing wow'd me.

I'm pleased with the result.

Well that's pretty nice. I must get me some of them.

Nice! OT, but what sort of "dead" static grass did you use?

Note that most of the new ones have a price bump (sadly!)

^Note, a lot of small terrain elements from Deep Cuts (could be nice for dungeon dressing)

Beholder, centaur and Umberhulk lok cool. As does the caravan, although more expensive.

Ahhhhh I see the dwarves are coming to play and from the looks are going to represent. Looking good.
Nice the ones that catch my eye are Aug release.

Great stuff on the way indeed.
I like that they'll bring back the Rusty Dragon Inn.
