So I’m wondering if anyone knows where I could get cheap medium quality minis for dnd, anyone know any good places?

The Bones series by Reaper Miniatures is very high-quality plastic, and usually costs two dollars a figure, give or take. Would recommend.

Of course, if you're not into painting, you can always print out pictures and fold them into standing tents, which can look nice as well!

The cheapest minis you can find online will generally be about $0.50 to $1.00 per mini, but you will probably need to wait for a holiday sale or something to get those prices. Besides Amazon and eBay, I also recommend checking out Miniature Market, as they have some pretty steep discounts during holidays. You also want to check out board games and miniature wargames in general. I bought a lot of Wrath of Kings miniatures from Miniature Market when they were on sale, although they need assembly though.

If you do not mind guns, the cheapest minis will be army men, and you can get a bag with one or two dozen of them at a dollar store so they can be be less than $0.10 per mini. You might be able to find non-army men miniatures at the dollar store too, but those are extremely rare from what I have seen.

If you just want something cheap, printing your own paper minis is the best way to go in my opinion.

Might try asking in the Arts & Crafts forum.  There's probably quite a few people who use miniatures in there and they'd know what stores to look for.

Im not into painting much I’m fine with unpainted minis, but thanks!

It depends on what you're looking for.. if you want memorable player minis there aren't a lot of options, but if you want like... a big box of generic minis you can find those more easily.

Noble Knight Games has a huge selection of second-hand minis available from all sorts of games.  You can usually find old plastic D&D minis, Heroclix, or Mage Knight minis available for really low prices.

How difficult is it to paint minis? I’m a perfectionist sometimes so that’s why I don’t want to try my hand at it, and heroforge painted minis are 45$ Also thanks 

Like I said, the Arts & Crafts forum is really where you would get the answers you're looking for.  They're not all just about painting the minis, they are also about using them in games, and they are the most likely to know the best stores to buy them from.  If you're a perfectionist enough that you don't want to deal with painting, you might consider that you'll never be all that happy with mediocre quality miniatures in the first place.  It's kind of like the old saying goes.  "You get what you pay for."

Pretty much this. If anyone wants medium quality minis with a good paint job on top, they will need to pay for it or learn to do it themselves. You have to spend time or money either way.

The D&D Premium Figures from WizKids are about $8.00 each. I am not sure about the newer waves of figures, but for the first wave of figures that I got, the paint job looks mediocre at best if not amateurish. As for the sculpt themselves, WizKids is pretty decent in my opinion; it is not going to pop like Warhammer or Kingdom Death Monster figures, but it is good enough that you can see distinct facial features.

 Thanks I just made a thread in arts and crafts

The other question is what do you want your minis for?

Minis that represent unique characters, like the PCs and recurring, important NPCs are great when you've got a high quality, well painted mini.

But if you're just trying to make a horde of orcs, you really have to be a painting fanatic to actually enjoy doing a large number of minis in high detail.

Honestly I’m not even a dm but I want to and also I love setting up massive battles and playing the out with minis and I thought ”why not combine 2 things I enjoy?” Also is that weird?

It's not weird at all.  The roots of D&D were exactly that.  Using miniatures for fantasy battles.  Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for.

Once you have the basics you absolutely need, Kickstarters are a winner for me. It might take two years between backing a campaign and getting your rewards, but the bang for your buck is pretty amazing if you find something that suits your tastes and has a bunch of stretch goals it'll likely reach.

 Check out the Runewars Miniatures Game: they stopped making content for it a while back, so you can get it for a fraction of the original price. It’s way simpler and more cost-efficient than, say, Warhammer, so it might be a good place to start.

Thank you all!!!

Definitely recommend checking on Craigslist or eBay or any other second-hand site you know of. People leave the hobby for whatever reason and need to get rid of all the stuff they've accumulated. You can score entire pre-painted collections for way less than what you'd get buying them at a store. Even if half of it is stuff you'd never use you still come out spending less money, and someone's treasured collection gets a good new home.
