Players and DMS: Custom or General Minis?

[Grear Bylls]

Hello everyone,

I'm curious, as both players and DMs, do you prefer to have custom minis whether they are just painted Reapers or as specific as Herforge or do you prefer to have general minis for your characters? I find that I do both myself, but I wanted to see what others prefer.

I, as a player, am an avid artist. Any time I have a character built for a game, I always try and sculpt them with clay. I'm actually doing some structural tests on said creations to increase durability, as I'm planning on starting an even more custom shop than Hero Forge.

So my answer would be, I try and have a super custom, even more than Hero Forge, mini. Plus it's cheaper if it's DIY
