Well, it’s not *that* good with RPG’s (: for the same reason. One guy in the party paints up six characters to advanced tabletop, while the DM is stuck with dozens of humanoids, not to mention NPC’s, huge monsters, and terrain! If you’re familiar with Reaper Bones plastic, one reason Reaper uses it is that a hill giant in Bones plastic is six bucks, while in metal it’s thirty. And not many DM’s are going to pay $180 for a hill giant encounter!

Not much of a miniatures wargamer here, but, from the orc and undead starter armies I’ve bought from Mantic, I got the impression that undead armies were larger, but not that much larger, and all armies had elite units (which typically had a higher price tag per model as well!)?
