Hey guys! So, I'm 100% new to the mini scene, and finally getting into it after I've wanted to for so long. I, probably very stupidly, went to Games Workshop and bought a Galadhrim Warriors set from the LOTR series, and a couple paints to get myself started. The problem is they are insanely expensive and I know I can find cheaper stuff and even better quality. I'm on a college budget and would love to know where I can find a really good starter paint set with good brushes and paints that will last. Does anyone have any suggestions? And any other tips or advice you have for me as a newbie please let me know! I've already painted like 4 of my minis (Very horribly), so I may post them later.

I would love to see a resurrection of the Learn to paint line, but with the far more affordable "Reaper Bones" An example of one of the Learn to paint Sets! I'd love to start with Bones it's far cheaper then metal mini's. I currently had a friend donate the money for the core set. Yet still moving on. From what I am aware this line is out of print. I feel it needs a revival with the Bones line. The old ones are still a steal with the things they came with. ( 2 minis, 10 PAINTS, 2 brushes, and a guide; Also since these are old the paint might be bad no idea about paint self life.) So I feel it would be a great marketing decision to reboot this line with bones since it would be cheaper to produce by a bit then metal. What are your thoughts? I plan on buying a few of the older sets if I can Also: Mantric gives more mini's but not as many paints and only one brush. "Mantric" a separate miniature model company has some great sets, but sadly they don't come with as much paint or the extra brush. They do give you extra mini's. Though I'm using them as a EXAMPLE of a currently running line of "How to paint" sets. What do you think reaper should do. I like the Classic Boxed HTP sets as well Though those are far more expensive. Thanks Everyone. Let's hope we can find a new way for people to get into this hobby. :)

So I was looking at what all came with my pledge, again, and some of the other add ons, and a thought came to me. Will some of the sets e available in the store the way they are in the kickstarter? I'm sure some like 'here be dragons' will of course be separate, but what of the golems or the townsfolk sets?
