For example, if the sadistic DM sends a wave of 20 - 30 bandits down the road at my party, that number of minis makes clear the sheer number of combatants.Larger pre-painted plastic D&D minis can show the relative size of creatures. I'm not arguing that this is unimportant. If the same demonic DM sends two Fomoran Giants at the party, then the two huge PPP minis can show that these are pretty big opponents.
