>>11231152Pewter is prohibitively expensive these days, but there are a lot of companies producing much more attainable models.
EM4 has dwarves and orcs in packs of 48 for 19 pounds (also in smaller amounts for less), reaper has a good variety of different fantasy class and monster minis in their old Bones line that can be gotten cheaply on ebay thanks to kickstarter bulk (the new stuff is anger inducingly close to metal in price for no real reason), Mage Knight clix minis are easily obtainable and cheap in huge lots from any resale site, and North Star and similar companies produce boxes of sprues that can be used to customize tons and tons of dudes as you see fit. Just look up 'miniature sprue' on ebay, order whatevers cheap, slap it together to create whatever you need. Dark Alliance produces a lot of different figures for really good prices, including straight up Jackson lotr ripoffs (the trolls and balrogs are excellent), but they are TINY compared to any other mini and you'd have to mostly use them for any projects.
Hope this helps anon. Plastic is unfortunately the way of the future.
