Choosing RPG miniatures & terrain usually comes down to one practical fork: do you need scenery for the tabletop, or enough figures to populate encounters? The comparison splits between two city-themed resin base sets and two fantasy miniature lots. Listed prices run from USD 5.32 to USD 41.58, so format and game role deserve as much attention as price.
Quick take
- City scenery in a 25mm x5 base format: Destroyed City Scenic Resin Bases Wargaming & RPG Miniatures 16K Zabavka.
- A rectangular base format: Ruined Empire City Bases for Wargame & RPG Miniatures 16k Resolution Zabavka.
- Skeleton-and-goblin encounters: 40PCS D&D Miniatures Lot Skeletons & Goblins 28mm Unpainted Resin Figures RPG.
- Varied fantasy figures: 40 Highly Detailed Fantasy Miniatures - Unpainted D&D Role Play Figures.
Listed-price comparison

The bars are a price-position aid, not a ranking. The first two rows are base pieces, while the final two rows are figure lots. If the tabletop already has figures, start with the base choices; if encounters need more characters or creatures, start with the figure choices.
Decision matrix
- Scenic basing: Choose either city-themed base title. Destroyed City emphasizes a ruined-city setting, while Ruined Empire City emphasizes an empire-city setting.
- Defined enemy encounters: Choose 40PCS D&D Miniatures Lot Skeletons & Goblins 28mm Unpainted Resin Figures RPG for its specifically named skeleton-and-goblin focus.
- NPC and player-character variety: Choose 40 Highly Detailed Fantasy Miniatures - Unpainted D&D Role Play Figures, which is described for fantasy characters, NPCs, and player-character representations.
Product notes
Destroyed City Scenic Resin Bases Wargaming & RPG Miniatures 16K Zabavka
At USD 5.32, Destroyed City Scenic Resin Bases Wargaming & RPG Miniatures 16K Zabavka is a focused choice for adding a ruined-city look to a tabletop. Its listed 25mm x5 format identifies a scenery-focused purchase, while the description specifies physical resin 3D prints for wargaming, roleplaying games, or display. That makes it a fit when existing figures need city-themed base treatment. The limitation is hands-on finishing: minor cleanup or assembly may be needed depending on the model. It is a base-format set rather than a 40-piece character lot, so choose it for scenic groundwork, not encounter quantity.
Ruined Empire City Bases for Wargame & RPG Miniatures 16k Resolution Zabavka
Ruined Empire City Bases for Wargame & RPG Miniatures 16k Resolution Zabavka is a clear match for a rectangular scenic layout. The listed USD 25.29 price and 170x110mm Rectangle size distinguish its format from the 25mm x5 city-base entry, while its unpainted 16K resin 3D-printed construction keeps the role clear. Choose it for ruined-empire scenery in a rectangular footprint. The tradeoff is finishing work: minor cleanup or assembly may be required depending on the model. Its purpose stays scenery-focused rather than serving as a character assortment.
40PCS D&D Miniatures Lot Skeletons & Goblins 28mm Unpainted Resin Figures RPG
40PCS D&D Miniatures Lot Skeletons & Goblins 28mm Unpainted Resin Figures RPG gives encounter builders a clearly defined 40-piece mix: 20 Skeletons and 20 Goblins. The description identifies 28mm scale, gray ABS-like resin, round bases, and compatibility with D&D, Pathfinder, and most tabletop RPG systems. That combination is the reason to choose it when repeated undead and goblin roles are more useful than scenic basing. The limitation is the fixed creature emphasis: the lot is specifically organized around skeletons and goblins, and some variation in round-base shape may occur. The figures are supplied unpainted, so painting remains part of the project. At USD 34.99, it sits below the other figure lot.
40 Highly Detailed Fantasy Miniatures - Unpainted D&D Role Play Figures
40 Highly Detailed Fantasy Miniatures - Unpainted D&D Role Play Figures is aimed at a varied fantasy cast. It contains 40 pieces in 10 unique designs, with Dark Grey and Light Grey color variations, and the description gives a true 28mm scale for use with one-inch grid battle mats. That makes it a clear fit for D&D NPCs, player-character representations, and other fantasy scenes where a broader cast is useful. The limitation is that all figures are unpainted, so customization and painting remain part of the project. At USD 41.58, it has the highest listed price of the four, and its two-grey presentation still leaves the finishing work to the hobbyist.
Final recommendation by use case
For scenic groundwork, choose Destroyed City Scenic Resin Bases Wargaming & RPG Miniatures 16K Zabavka when a base-format add-on is the goal; choose Ruined Empire City Bases for Wargame & RPG Miniatures 16k Resolution Zabavka when its Ruined Empire City theme suits the scene. For encounters built around skeletons and goblins, choose the 40PCS D&D Miniatures Lot. For D&D NPCs, player-character representations, and a broader fantasy cast, choose the 40 Highly Detailed Fantasy Miniatures set. The decisive split is straightforward: the two base choices support scenery, while the two figure lots supply creatures and characters.
