Sorry to be such a thread necromancer, but I figured it would be better than posting a new topic on the subject.
I think I'm going to start using Legos for my minis. I just bought a 1.5" grid, and the 4x4 lego plates fit perfectly in the squares. They'll make great bases for the minifigs. Has anyone else tried this, and are there recommendations for approximating some common D&D creatures (goblins, kobolds, orcs, drow, etc.)?
