Warhammer: English Civil War is somethign I've been meaning to do for several years. I've had the book since it came out but I have delayed getting into it because all metal armies are expensive.

The time period is facinating. It was the emergence of the "new model army". Swords and the like were being fazed out and gunpowder was being fazed in. Which left the army looking odd. Masses of pike flanked by massed muskets.Pike and shotte, which is a whole gaming genre.I also like the romanticism of the period. Royalists versus rebels.
Warlord Games has made it afordable:

40 multipart plastics for $30.
I got a few bites on Bartertown, all from people who had never painted the period before I got an email from IGWARG MINIS.

He quoted me $7 for infantry and $14 for cavalry. Cannon counting as 1 infantry figure. Sounded good to me, especially as he only paints at one level. So I sent him the box and a Saker cannon blister.
I will let you know how it goes.
