Reddit mentions of WizKids 72778 Dungeons & Dragons Icons of the Realms Starter Set

You can find sets of minis online (example), or have each player buy their own mini, but I have a few alternative suggestions. If any of you has old legos, you can use those lego characters. Many board games have minis or "meeples" you can use too. I've seen people use soda bottle caps as well.

This is probably the best solution since he's looking for hero figures. This might be a good choice too.

Amazon is what I use, although I haven't checked other sites much, so I don't know if the price is good/bad. I bought this and the miniatures are all good quality. There's plenty of other miniatures on amazon, I'd recommend at least checking it out.

Brand new DM here. Currently running LMoP for 3 first-timers and 2 (barely) amateurs. Bought these for my party. $17 USD

Google “LMoP paper minis” for the enemies/villains. Use some common coins as and some Elmer’s Glue for a base. It honestly takes 2 hours (with breaks for beer and Reddit lol) to cut and paste once you assemble the materials.

Otherwise get a double sided battle mat, like $22 USD and some dry erase markers, $6 USD



Skip the party’s minis if you want to save some money. But the battle mat and markers can be used FOREVER.

The Icons of the Realms starter kit gets you six player minis for cheap

I think these might match the pregens. these are the characters only.

Thanks. I got the Dwarf from the Icons of The Realms Starter Set. It comes with 5 others, along with the Dwarf.

The unpainted baddies behind them all came from the Reaper Bones series.

This is my first time DM-ing, but I can already feel mini-hunting becoming an obsession..RIP my wallet
