One Monk Miniatures has quickly become the standard by which all other paper minis are judged. At least that's the way it is around our gaming table. So, when I needed a band of orcs for my scenario, I immediately downloaded the Orc Warband. I was not disappointed, and neither were my players. The detail is excellent. The colors are distinctive. The poses add interest. There is much added value to this set by the plethora of other One Monk sets to complement any layout. Likewise, I was able to add a few more figures to the scenario by adding a few figures from One Monk's free sets, some available here on OBS, and others available from the One Monk Miniatures web site. I even went to One Monk's site to find the right texture for the battle board I was using, and found exactly what I needed- for free. Talk about great customer service. I've been buying One Monk Miniatures for a little while now, and frankly, I prefer this style to all others. For the hero characters, yes, we still use white metal. The One Monk minis look very good next to 3D models. The only down side to this style of paper minis is the time it take to cut. When time is short, I still rely on my extensive collection of rectangular paper minis, but I am slowly building up my One Monk collection, so even that will be mitigated with time.
