For poses you can always cut the figure at the joints and reattach them with plastic liquid cement which literally takes but a moment and gives you endless variety. You can also do head/limb swaps and even take pieces of equipment from one figure and give it to another. By example does that WWII machine gunner pose look stupid? Take that perfectly good weapon and give it to a fellow in more of a Gungho pose! There is no stopping you! Also want to create your own figures? Poof - easy as pie. How about guys with 4 arms? Etc., etc.

Lastly there are tons of good sets to choose from - just check out http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/PeriodList.html and don’t be afraid to look out side your desired time period for the figures you could use for your game. With a little paint or modification those 6th century armored warriors could easily become the scourge of your 22nd century space marine battle!

Lastly if you clean,prep, and seal your plastic properly you should have little if no problem with paint flaking.

Very timely too as both myself and my brother have been discussing 1/72 scale ancient historical minis on and off for the last couple of months.

I’m looking forward to the rest of the series - very promising start.
