bluegargantuaHey,
If you want to pick up a swath of fantasy minis and are willing to wait a bit to get them. Reaper minis is running a Kickstarter. A $100 pledge gets you over 60 minis. Half of them are low-level hordes (kobolds, goblins, rats) and the rest are characters, signature monsters and stuff. The minis are made out of this new polymer material. I haven't worked with it, but Reaper minis are consistently good stuff so it's a fairly safe bet.
The Kickstarter has funded so those are sure to come out. Now it's all about tasty stretch goals where you'll get extra characters and larger figures (giants, dragons, etc.). The only downside is that nothing shows up until March. Still, it's a pretty good deal as-is and if the stretch goals open up, the project could stock a good-sized dungeon.

Date: 2012-07-26 03:43 pm (UTC)Just run a tabletop LARP in your D&D game:
"OK, you guys are all in a tavern. Creepy old guy in the corner tells you he'll give you a map to the true resting place of the Head of Vecna and all you have to do is just paint these little dudes. Further, during your adventures to recover the head of Vecna, you'll encounter each and every monster/person represented here by a figure and painting the figure will give you a magical bonus against them. Unpainted\badly painted figures will have a magical bonus against you."
Easy-peasy
