I use miniatures in my games to give a "feel" for whatever situation they're in. To save some $$, I'd recommend finding two out-of-print Milton Bradley games "HeroQuest" and "Battle Masters". These were Games Workshop games licensed to MB to sell in the US. These games provided me with over 100+ figures combined with furniture pieces, door figures, etc. Although the figures are plastic, they are still pretty good to have around. For using other miniatures, Ral Partha and Citadel are pretty good as well. I have not seen the Skirmisher (?) system you're talking about, but I can find it. The best quote I heard about WarHammer was "These books would make an atheist cringe!" I'm not a big fan of WH either. - Matt Aaron Siddall wrote: > Hello! > I was wonderin' if you fellows (or Ladies) paint and/or use miniatures > for your DragonRaid (or otherwide) games?
