I hated metal minis.

Granted my painting has had two phases, when I was a teen and played Warhammer and metal minis were the bane of my existence (falling over, and difficult to paint). Now that I'm older and all the minis I have are from reaper Kickstarters I can't see willingly going back to metal.

Is there any reason you want to stick with metal minis? To my eye plastic and resin minis look nicer and feel more dynamic. I ask because I'm genuinely curious.

Not at committed to metal at all actually, other than I have stashed figs to paint and base.

I‘ve always been almost exclusively into historicals, and the question has really been the quality of the scupts. Now the plastic ones are much better, and they’re not awash in flash, so it’s more interesting.
