Hi all,
the Pike & Shot beta has really got me interested in a tabletop version, so I've ordered the 'Renaissance' rulebook, due to arrive by the end of the week. Maybe the experienced hobby generals among you could give me some advice - which scale of miniatures and which manufacturer would you recommend? And which colours should I best use for painting the minis?
Thanks in advance
k.

On scale: I would stick with 15mm as that is very popular...
Figs suppliers there are many. A good source will be Tim Porters web site "www.madaxeman.com" which has a wealth of useful stuff. Including match reports which will give you flavour of the table top game with some army and rule pointers...

I think a nice newbie place to go is "Thirty Years War". Most armies are tough enough, and have enough variety. Choose something that you like.Krautman wrote:Hi all,

If you are going to do thirty years war Germans you can't go past the Khurasan miniatures range. They are a bit pricey but we'll worth it.

Re: Newbie questions
Museum miniatures do a nice range as well.
I've morphed my 30 years war army into 1/2 dozen different nations just by changing the banners on the pike.
