Minifigures as Tabletop RPG Miniatures - Brick Bros

Minifigures are a brilliant alternative to traditional RPG miniatures — affordable, durable, and customizable enough to represent any character your party dreams up. Here's how to use them in your tabletop role-playing games.

Why Minifigures Work for RPGs

Every player character can have a unique figure, NPCs and monsters are cheap to field in numbers, and figures survive being knocked around a table for years. Their clear, standing silhouette is easy to track in combat.

Custom special forces minifigures used as RPG miniatures

Customizable figures can represent any character concept.

Building Your Cast

Use kitbashing and customization to match figures to character concepts — a hooded rogue, an armored knight, a desert raider. Keep a bin of spare parts so you can whip up a new NPC on the fly.

Bases and Grid Play

Mount figures on consistent base plates so they occupy one grid square cleanly and stand stable on battle maps. Themed terrain adds atmosphere to encounters.
