My son and I decided to play some old west shoot ‘em up games. I have a nice western town and rules (fistful of lead). Now, I need some minis. Any suggestions on an economic way to start? Good mix of figures? Anyone looking to downsize their collection for a reasonable price? Thanks for any ideas and help. |

I would look at the prepainted mini sets by EM4 link link I have both sets and they are actually nicely painted. I know one set says sold out, but when I have enquirered about other figures on the site that said unavailable I received a response that indicated that they cast their own so to go ahead and order. I don't know if that goes for the painted stuff too, but it never hurts to ask. |

Are you looking for small 25s? If so shoot me an E-mail, I have some that I'd be willing to part with. Note these are true 25s not "heroic". RNGAMER@ATT.NET Paul |

If you want cheap, try the plastic figures at the toy store/dollar store, but they'll be bigger than 25mm. |

Good luck with your new project! These guys are having a sale on Knuckleduster… auction Old Glory is a good "volume" choice. I have four packs of the OOP western bandits by Sgt Majors Miniatures hiding in a box here. Will sell them to you at 50% off list if interested. You can reach me at wargaming@aol.com. |

Knuckleduster beats all the others by a mile. And for some very realistic gunfights you might like my rules Americas Olde West. Enjoy! |

wow – thank you everyone for the suggestions. I have sent out emails to those looking to sell. If things work out right – looks like I could actually be putting a shoot out on at a con in Los Angeles over Labor Day. Thanks again everyone, Stan |

Keep us posted. I will be at that convention and look forward to the possibility of seeing your shootout. |
