Reaper Minitures

Subject: Reaper Minitures Sun Apr 13, 2008 5:26 pm

I see mass quanitys of Reaper minitures at game stores all around. Is there a certain game that these minitures are used for?

I hear people talking about using them for RPG, and just for painting purposes. But never about playing and actual Tabletop Minitures game.

Does anyone play a game called C.A.V. anymore. I see product for this game as well. But never hear anyone playing it.

Anyone around this group playing this games at all.?

The ones in green packages are meant for general use in D&D type roleplaying games. That line is called the DARK HEAVEN LEGENDS.

The ones you see with the purple cards in their packaging are meant to be used with a miniatures battlegame called "WARLORD".

Although, many D&D players buy and use WARLORD figures in their roleplaying games as well.

The DARK HEAVEN figures are sculpted with a flat base to them, WARLORD figs usually have a seperate plastic base in the packages that they have to be attached to.

Generally speaking the sculpting is VERY good on REAPER miniatures.

As recently as last month there was a group of guys playing a WARLORD game on our tables at Sci-Fi City.

I have to agree, the minitures are really cool looking. Very detailed for sure. If I hads interest in only painting minitures, these would be the ones to buy...

CAV the quicker paced alternative to Battletech. It has its charm. I sold my Riterlich off. There didn't seem to be a real difference between the stat ranges for tanks, aircraft, or CAVs.

Still have my N-scale Fenri because it just looks so dang cool.

WoHoG used to sell the Reaper minis for RPGs. Many of us from there played Warlord. It used to be easier to get and play when they sold 3-figure blisters.

My view is the new $40 9-blisters has basically shot the game in the foot.
