Guys, I think Warwick would have called it best for me, 15mm lead is what I like and what I know how to work with. I get severly frustrated with the plastic...
If space is a concern, I recommend N scale/10mm figures. You have the bang for the buck factor and it usually requires less gaming table space. There are tons...
