just wondering what the best figures are for this period? |

Depends what material – plastics or metal.
Personally I use old Wargames factory for my infantry and Horse, Front rank metals for my Generals and guns

I use Front Rank: link There are some things missing and a couple of things I wish they'd done differently, but mostly they are awesome. |

I'm a big fan of Front Rank for any 18th century project that they make figures for. |

Ebor for price and quantity.
Front rank for ease of painting.
Warfare if you want lots of animation and movement of poses.
Warfare so far only does Prussians/germans and Danes for infantry.
But has lots of cavalry that works for all nations. They also have more realistic anatomy. |

I use Front Rank:link There are some things missing and a couple of things I wish they'd done differently, but mostly they are awesome. Nice pics and descriptions. I really appreciate your work and have it cached to I can review and get inspired. I want to try WSS, and I am hopeful the post saying Front Rank is good for "ease of painting." (Not my gift, shall we say). I hope to get some figs and dive in this summer. Not sure where to start, but line infantry seems a good way to go. Wondering about Warlord plastics--anyone give their WSS starter kit thumbs up? |

Mike Welker, Warlord plastics are the old Wargames Factory figures, Warlord bought the molds when WF folded. They are excellent figures in my mind, I have a couple of armies worth of them.
You can see the rest of my forces here; link The Warlord Stater set is a good value, sign up for their email newsletter, it goes on sale every once in a while. If you are really interested in giving them a try contact me at daftrica 89 @ yahoo .com and I could sell you a set at my cost from back before price rises. |

Anton, thanks. I see that Warlord has the starter box marked sold out at the moment. I see a few on eBay. I will try to contact you. |
