Miniature WarGames Figures;

WHAT ARE THE AVAILABLE FIGURES THAT I CAN USE?

Well, There are several diffrent types of figures that you can use.
Pewter; A white metal cross between lead and tin.
This is NOT recommended for children. Care must be taken when working with this type if figure. i.e. wash your hands before eating.
Soft Plastics; Are relativly safe, but may contain small pieces.

Pewter is the most expensive for the hobby, depending on who's figure you buy and in what scale you decide to use.
It has the most detail and holds paint really well.
Plastic, is the cheapest source of obtaining figures. (Albeit, there are a few companies who Gouge the consumer) There is some problems (mostly the softer Plastics) with some plastics holding the paint.
