So I was browsing around on the internet hoping to find some cheap medieval miniatures for a Hail Ceasar game i was hoping to start up with the chaps. And i just can't seem to settle on a specific site that sells quality ones that will be easy to paint and field in a pinch. I was focusing on Essex miniatures and Wargames Foundry for some Feudal, 1200 century type of medieval infantry and knights. But I can not decide which site is less costly to buy from. Or maybe there is a mystery site I haven't found yet that sells cheap metal/plastic medieval models.
I mean, I would buy from Essex if it wasn't for the weirdly priced individual models. And i would buy from Wargames Foundry if i trusted they would supply me with the wire spears i lacked in from my last order. (My Normans were very displeased) And because i really love their Feudal models.

So, the main question is, which site I should buy from. Or maybe you can suggest me another site I could probably check out in the near future..
Thanks in advance

Fireforge games has a number of cheap plastic kits that have you covered.

Conquest games makes Norman knights, infantry, and archers that would be worth a look.

Personally, I tell people not to use metal spears. Instead, I recommend cutting the broom bristles off of a cheap, plastic broom. Cut the bristle to the needed length. Then clip the tip of the bristle into a wedge shape, and flatten it with pliers. The result is a spear that will rebound whenever it's bent, and won't break unless physically cut.

Holy Terra.

Wargames Foundry, Gripping Beast and Crusader Miniatures are pretty good, although the last one's models can be kind of derpy (but still awesome).

If price is an important factor, then definitely do skip over the metals and check out the plastic kits referenced above. Fireforge, Crusader, Perry, Gripping Beast...

And even if you get some metals, check out those plastics as well, as they're well worth your time regardless.
