Episode 13: What to Look for in your miniatures and the Companies that make them.

In this episode of On Patrol, we take a look at what we feel makes for a good miniature manufacture. We did this by considering 6 key points for the miniatures they sell and why they matter. Those 6 points are Quality, Details, Integration, Customization, Range, and Price. Our goal is to offer you points of consideration when looking at buying miniatures from a company you have never bought from before. Hopefully this will help new and seasoned player alike and, as always, we would love to hear what you think in the comments below.
