Small figurines cast in either plastic or metal, commonly used in
role playing games and tabletop
wargames. Early versions were made of
lead-based
pewter, but ones currently manufactured are usually lead-free.
Often these miniatures are painted as a hobby. Fantasy and role playing conventions will sometimes feature competitions on miniature painting.
