If so, which manufacturer? What scale?
Thunderbolt mountain do some really fantastic Arthurian miniatures, but they're small compared to most "25mm scale" miniatures released in the past 15 years. Many of Iron Wind Metals (formerly Ral Partha) miniatures are also does many useful miniatures, but they are generally old and suffer from the same problems with compatibility as Thunderbolt. Reaper does some truly fantastic pieces, but they're far more expensive than typical manufacturers. Redoubt,Black Tree Design, and Wargames Foundry also have nice offerings. Games Workshop has an extremely popular line of "Bretonnians" that are rather cartoonish. There are many other companies producing miniatures appropriate for Pendragon. Which do you prefer?

My old KAP3 campaign used some. Not specially selected for the game, just using lead ones from D&D, dice, and whatever else was on hand. That game was much more tactical than the current GPC game I am playing in. I was doing skirmishes fairly often and did a few tournaments and did melee groups running about using a white board.

Only miniature in the current campaign is the giant spider that sits in a bowl that serves as the punishment pit for misbehaving dice. :o

I've used the prepainted minis from the Shadow over Camelot boardgame a couple of times.

I used to have bunch of Prince August knights that I cast myself. They were terribly painted with enamels but I loved them.

To be honest though I don't use minis all that often in KAP.

Greg has some links in this direction (though you may have seen them already)

Mirliton minis have all the old grenadier moulds and some interesting knightly stuff in both fantasy histoeical sections. The character section could be fruitful for tournament era knightly panoply

Really? Huh. I find Reaper offers a pretty good value for the price. All minis are not created equal and Reaper's have maybe the best metal in the industry, a proprietary alloy that's not too brittle, and not too pliable. They also have the best stable of designers and sculptors in the business, so that quality is there, too. I've been pretty seriously into minis the last ten years of so—my wife paints at competition level and I like 'em for my games—and this is the first time I've heard Reaper characterized as "far more expensive". They're not compared to GW and some of the better boutique studios that I know of, so I find this a curious assessment.

To answer your question—yes, we use them for tactical movement and combat.


Best,

I'm certainly not arguing that Reaper aren't worth the money, they do some truly fantastic pieces and I have literally hundreds of them (most yet to be painted). However, they're still a bit more expensive than other brands like Black Tree Design, Gripping Beast, Perry, or Wargames Foundry.
