My brother and I will be running a Fantasy RPG session next academic year, and I'm looking to try and get a set of RPG miniatures for the 6 other people in the session. I'd prefer them unpainted, as I can paint them up myself, and seeing as we have no idea of what characters will be used, I'd like a variety of generic classes, so Warrior, Rogue, Mage and Priest models are needed, as well as some variety of race. NPC enemies would also be needed, so Goblins, Orcs and other human characters. Thank you!

Have you looked at the reaper bones line? I think this would be right up your alley!

Oh for sure. There's a ton of great stuff in the line for a good price.
The material is a bit softer, but I've found it paints up well.

Don't forget Reaper has their superb Figure Finder tool. 
http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder
You can run crazy specific searches to find almost any fig they make... and they make a lot.

A good UK source (I presume you're over here from your flag), for Reaper stuff is

Bones was literally made for this purpose. You could easily outfit an entire game for 25 bucks.

Reaper really can't be beat.... The Bones line can be tricky (the material means you don't spray prime them), but the entire company has thrived off of inexpensive miniatures.

Just going to home in and say Reaper Bones as well. They do great monsters and looks as well.

I kind of agree with Kronk: for cheap table top paints Bones are good, for an impulse purchase or something that may never be used Bones are excelent. For high-quality/display paint-jobs Bones are rather meh.
Edit: and Reaper metals are the best for sword and sorcery RPGs.

That is debatable  While I definitely love the Reaper line, I'm also very partial to Enigma Miniatures 32mm range for RPG minis as well. At most, I've only had to replace the base that came with the mini with a GW slotted base, but overall they are truly excellent models (though you do pay the prices of excellent metal miniatures as well)
