Cheap Minis: Dark Alliance Goblins for DnD

[@CraftsAndMinis]

I put a link to the eBay listing that I used to get these for under $8 a box before shipping costs in the description of this video.

[@prestonbrower762]

What about for the melee troops

[@MiniatureMashUp]

I appreciate someone reviewing these. I was super curious about them.

[@tablesaltgames]

I have several of the Dark Alliance boxes and I’ve boxed my 28mm stuff up.

[@ryanyuhr2087]

I have all the Troll sets and I couldn’t be happier! Good size and the poses and details are more than tabletop worthy. I’m considering buying the not “Uruk Kia”

[@CraftsAndMinis]

Love the trolls! Lots of flash to clean up, but worth the effort and the price is great.

[@survivorjohnny44]

I ordered sets 1&2 last night and I've been trying to find some size comparisons so my google-fu led me to this vid. It's exactly what I was looking for so you earned a new sub. Good vid brother. Quick tip- the 15mm scalions on eBay make great kobolds. They are lead tho. Based em on pennies, primed em black and a quick dry brush of red worked great. 16 of em for around $10

[@CraftsAndMinis]

Awesome! Glad you found the channel and thanks for the tip

[@FrankyDCrafter]

I need a lot of goblins, in my home brew they are a race of humanoids that tend to be discriminated against, but hold their own values. This was just what I needed. Great find bro!!!!

[@CraftsAndMinis]

Awesome!! Glad they will be of use

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Hey Franky check out Crooked Staff Terrain he made goblins from paper straws toothpicks and glue think you'll get a kick out of his channel.

[@alexc6324]

They look great.

[@CraftNicks]

Def an awesome share! Price is great! Good call on showing the comparison too

[@CraftsAndMinis]

Thanks! I'm on the hunt for cheap but serviceable minis and I'll share what I find.

[@TheCreativeKobold]

Oh man, those look great! Never heard of these. I have some of those Caesar ones, but they didn't quite do it for me. These look much nicer though, so I might actually buy these!

[@prestonbrower762]

I've been debating whether to get one of the two listed in the video, the dark alliance orcs set 2, or the Caesar goblins. I'm poor so I can get only one. Love to get anyone's thoughts on which is best

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Was cool to see you commenting on Crooked Staff Terrain channel he makes some pretty wild stuff using just paper straws and toothpicks doesn't he? His goblins might not be for everyone but some might really like them especialy the no painting part.

[@jacobhope6164]

Great review! Have you seen the Dark Alliance Amazons? I was wondering what they look like, and how the size compares, but I can't find a review of them anywhere.

[@CraftsAndMinis]

Thanks! No, I haven't seen the Amazons. Still have to assemble and paint the goblins too :)

[@robins5314]

Great video, thanks

[@CraftsAndMinis]

Thanks!!

[@prestonbrower762]

I'm on the fence about buying these guys or the Caesar guys. Anyone care to tell me which is better?

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Check out Miniature Mash Up Dave did a good look at a few different Caeser minis and the goblins were one of them.

[@thenachomancandysavage4074]

these look awsome absolutely must get this set,btw how do they take to primer ?

[@CraftsAndMinis]

Thanks! I haven't primed them yet :)

[@B.-T.]

Dang, that series has a lot of stuff. Any idea how well the human stuff scales up?

[@CraftsAndMinis]

I don't have any of the human models, but I'm guessing they're small for 28mm. Thanks for taking a look at the video!

[@B.-T.]

@@CraftsAndMinis Thanks for the heads-up! They probably measure up better with the oldest 25mm minis, then, instead of the modern 28mm stuff.

[@B.-T.]

@@CraftsAndMinis Any chance you tried their larger monsters? I dig the Fire Demons for Balors but I worry they'll only measure up to a Large base and not a Huge base.

[@CraftsAndMinis]

@@B.-T. I have the trolls and they fit on a large base. I would guess the demons are the same.

[@B.-T.]

@@CraftsAndMinis Thank you again! Yeah I've seen the trolls side by side with the Demons (on the fantasytoysoldiers blogspot) and the fire demons are only slightly taller than the trolls... so they'd be sized Large too. Maybe they could work as Pit Fiends then....

[@jacksienglican5371]

Is he still making stuff?

[@BlaueCookieFan]

Lot of flash, though.
