Minature Figures

Minature Figures used in war games like Advanced Dungeons & Dragons , Worlds of Warcraft, Star Fleet Battles, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Warhammer and Battletech and others.

A miniature figure is a small-scale representation of a historical or mythological entity used in miniature wargames, role-playing games, and dioramas. Miniature figures are commonly manufactured from metal, plastic or paper and are used to augment the visual aspects of the game. Miniatures are typically painted, and are often artfully sculpted and are collectible in their own right. The hobby of painting, collecting, and gaming with miniatures originated with the toy soldier hobby.

Traditionally, miniatures were cast in white metal, an alloy of lead and tin. Sometimes a small amount of antimony was added to improve the alloy's ability to take fine detail.  Recently manufacturers offer plastic minis; others offer resin minis. Some war games use box miniatures, a simple cuboid made from folded card stock. Art work representing a view of each side of the subject is printed on the outside.

 Miniature figure scales are commonly expressed as the height of a six-foot (183 cm) human male. In 28 mm scale, children and short characters such as dwarves, hobbits, and goblins will be typically be smaller than 28 mm, whereas large characters like ogres, trolls and dragons will be taller.

Scales of 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, and 35 mm are the most common for role-playing and table-top games. Smaller scales of 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm are used in wargames representing massed warfare. Larger figures of 54 mm and more are commonly used for painters and collectors.
