Introduction to Must Contain Minis

Welcome to Must Contain Minis. We do Reviews, News, Showcases and Battle Reports of miniatures and miniature related products. This site does not focus on a specific system, but rather products by many different companies. My aim is for variety and to show you what alternatives might be out there. 

If you want to know what is on the market by companies aside from the biggest player on the market, you have come to the right place. 

Below you will find my latest posts and videos.

RGD Gaming Centaur and Faun Video Review

Have you ever wondered about RGD Gaming's Centaurs or Faun Warband box sets? In this video, we dive into both of those boxes and take a closer look. Join me as I look at the sprues that come in them, make a few figures and line them up for a…

In this video, we review 28mm Conquistadors Miniatures by Wargames Atlantic. This box set gives you enough miniatures to build 24 miniatures. Join me in this video as we unbox, assemble and review the Rennaissance Era Conquistadors by Wargames Atlantic. As with all of my reviews, there are scale comparison images in here as well. Specifically, I compare the size of these miniatures versus Frostgrave miniatures, Oathmark Miniatures, another Wargames Atlantic Miniature and a Primaris Space Marine. Oh yes, I also have shots of the plastic sprues that these miniatures come on. Now, let's talk about how you could use these 28mm miniatures. You could very easily use these miniatures as Proxy figures for the Empire in Warhammer Fantasy or in Mordhiem. You can also use them easily enough for other fantasy games such as Frostgrave and Oathmark. Of course, you could also use them for historical games as they are originally intended. I plan to use mine for the game SAGA. Specifically, SAGA: Age of Magic. If you take them the historical route, they can be used in the battlefields of the Americas or Europe in the 16th Century.

It is almost that time of year - Halloween. As such, I figured I would kick up the gore factor with some gory minis from the board game Deep Madness. My friend Dave painted these up as part of a commission project. Join me in this showcase of his work featuring painted board game miniatures from the game Deep Madness. Dave specializes in speed painting large armies and board game miniatures as a side job and is available for hire if you need any work done.

In this video, I review two miniatures sets of 28mm fauns and centaurs. You could use these miniatures by RGD Gaming easily as a proxy beastmen army in games such as Warhammer Fantasy or as a warband of adventurers for Dungeons and Dragons, Frostgrave and other similar games. If you want either Fauns or Centaurs, these unique miniatures could help you out. They are made out of hard plastic and scaled for 28mm gaming. In this video, I showcase the boxes and the sprues within. I then build a few sample miniatures from each plastic frame and show you those figures unpainted. I wrap up with my thoughts on the products and a few scale comparison images too. RGD Gaming produces these miniatures along with a few other sets of figures too. If they interest you, you can check out their website at... https://rgdgaming.com/ Wargames Atlantic used to distribute these miniatures, and I believe they still do the casting for the boxed sets. If you are a company looking for a manufacture based out of America that can cast hard plastic miniatures without going oversees, Wargames Atlantic can help. They also sell their own lines of miniatures too. You can check them out at... https://wargamesatlantic.com/ I also know of a few retailers that carry these miniatures including Cardboard Dungeon Games who ship within North America for free if you hit a certain dollar value of purchases.

In this post, I show you my small 1500 point German Army for Bolt Action. I missed mentioning in the video that every miniature in this list is taken at the veteran level. This is a German Reinforced Platoon for Bolt Action. In it, I bring... A First Lieutenant with 2 extra squad mates. Three squads of Panzer Grenadiers (one armed with rifles and LMGs and the other two with Assault Rifles). An Artillery Observer Squad. A Flame Thrower Team. A Panzerschreck Team. One Panther. One SdKfz 251/10 half-track. This is a list I built for fun using the contents of Bolt Action: Band of Brothers and a few other items that I picked up to go along with it. At this time, I have not yet used them in a game, but they are ready to close to go. There are just six miniatures left to paint and some basing work to do. All of the 28mm WW2 miniatures and models in this post are made by Warlord Games. If you are interested in more about this army, or the case that I store them in, check out the links below.

In this video, I take a close look at the Feldherr Mini Plus miniatures case along with three trays of foam for that case. Specifically, I look at its use for transporting a Bolt Action army. The Feldherr Mini Plus Bag for Bolt Action carries 32 miniatures and 3 tanks. In this configuration, you get two trays that hold 16 models each for your 28mm WW2 soldiers and 1 pluck-foam tray that can comfortably carry 3 tanks. In my case, I did not have 3 tanks, so I used that space for extra figures. You could also easily fit gun teams in the slots you make in the pluck foam tray. If this case (or anything else by Feldherr) interests you, use my coupon code BOLT2022 to save 5 Euro off your purchase of 50 Euro or more. Feldherr is a great solution if you are looking into how you can transport your miniatures for gaming. They also have miniature storage solutions too! Related Links...

In this video, I review Para Bellum Games' Centaur Avatara miniatures for the Spires Faction of Conquest. These miniatures can be used in the game Conquest: First Blood and Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings. If you are into Osprey Games, you might be able to use them for some of their systems too. Compared to other brands, these miniatures are a little easier to build because they are 38mm in size. I have a scale comparison at the end of this video if you want to see how it measures up against Warhammer 40K or minis by Wargames Atlantic. Here are the time stamps if you want to jump around a bit.
