So i got lucky and got some pikemen for 30$ But it is the minimum unit. The box says to look for blisters, but I cant find any.

They repackaged them now in the 10 man units. I'd call around and see if any stores still have any of the 2 man blister packs. If you cant find any I'd contact PP and see if they can help.

Miniature Market has a few boxes of the 6-man unit left. I had a min unit from Mk1, and didn't get a chance to grab more blisters before they became super-rare, so it either grab a minimum unit box somewhere or spring for the full unit.

...needless to say, I got the 6-man box.

Ooooh, their parts store has all the parts to make singles

Careful though! Their items are priced to make it an unattractive alternative to full product. You will probably pay more for the two troopers you would find in the blister through the online store.

I cant find the blister. It looks discontinued.
with one trooper w/o the base it would cost 8:50.

At Miniature Market it's $37 for the 6-man box, plus shipping (for me) it worked out to about $4.50/trooper.

...I also checked the PP parts store, and realized it would be much cheaper to just buy elsewhere.

That's about what you'd pay if you found blisters anyway. And you get to pick the poses you want for the last 4.

And while you're ordering direct from Privateer, you might want to consider the Black Dragon upgrade parts. I think it's direct only.

but what would I need 6 for? the full unit is ten.

Well, you have a minimum unit, right?

My point is that getting another minimum unit right now will be cheaper than getting a full 10-man box or paying for the parts for 4 other guys.

If six are cheaper than four you are better off getting the two minimum units and leaving two in the case when you want to run one full.

This exactly what I was trying to say, but worded so much more clearly. Thanks!

Just buy 4 more minimum boxes, go for the pButcher 30 IFP spam lol.

Oh, that makes sense now.

Also just gives you the option of fielding two min units if you so desired.

I've done this with some units and sometimes the flexibility is nice if you play any unique scenarios or messing around with friends.

Or just sell your last 2 on ebay to someone else in your same situation.
