So, I again need to state that I am falling head-over-heels in love with this game. The wife, a friend, and I are deep in yet another run of the campaign, and I am already planning to buy, essentially all of the released expansions.
My sole issue, is that the Conversion Kit, which has been a huge joy to me, and has ensured soooooooo many more meaningful hero/monster options, has likewise been a bit of a headache.
So having no miniatures has been easy enough on the hero-side, as I can cobble together four vague look-alikes... but the monsters are proving rough.
As such, questions...
Does anything on a monster card indicate base-size? I might have missed it, but its tricky proxying a mini, or group without knowing what size bases I need.
Second... what do people use to proxy some odd-base monsters? I've taken to really enjoying Blood Apes, but they feature the 2x1 base which means they end up being Barghest models for the time being.
Finally, do any of the current expansions "reprint" models from Descent V1.0? Is there any hope of monster packs showing up in the future? Am I doomed, as someone loving the game, to pay extortion level prices for official models on Ebay? :-p
