http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net My sig explains a lot: I need help with starting to war-game. I love the books, and I've done some mock battles with cardboard figures to get a feel for the rules.

Unfortunately, I do not have much time or money to get a full set of figures and paint. Thus my ongoing desire is to find an inexpensive yet useful source of miniatures, and then a gaming place nearby (the one nearest my house closed.)

Ah well, whatever, I'm sure the forums will come up with something. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/529615/5665985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/529615/5665985.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/529615/5666029.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/529615/5666029.page GMT

...I buy most of my new stuff from these guys. You can try out 2 armies annd sell the one you aren't so much into. You get the main rules too, so less book borrowing.

Ebay, specifically lazarus-games, has been good for my wallet too. Good luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/529615/5666090.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/529615/5666090.page GMT
Try Ebay , i have brought 90% of my army's from there and have around 6000 Points of Space Marines and 2000 Points of Guard and i have save a lot of money , i have been able to purchase a 10 men tactical squad for like 3 GBP plus postage and a predator for around 8GBP , one can found great (and bad)deals there if you keep an eye out for them.

Buy used?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/529615/5666413.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/529615/5666413.page GMT
As already mentioned, the best place for cheap minis is eBay. Buy second hand, strip them and repaint as your heart desires!

Good luck and happy hunting!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/529615/5666511.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/529615/5666511.page GMT
