But Mollinary, the Miniatures don't belong to Wargames ... they belong to me :)

And just to start a further controversy, they are "figures" and always have been.

How about dodging the question entirely and describing them as wargaming miniatures - miniatures for wargaming?  ;)

....aaaand....that's the problem with trying to apply Latin grammar to Anglo Saxon language.   ;D

Pendraken makes lots of miniatures, for use in many wargames.  Therefore, 'wargames miniatures'.  Although, context can apply to modify that.

Tabletop gaming. It sounds less brutal.
Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Blood, sh*t and guts all over the place resulting in orphans and weeping widows games. Happier with that Ian?

Ah! You've seen the spears on my 28mm dark age Scotti? Not go to mention the spears and bayonets of quite a few other figures I've seen over the years. They will definitely fight back against the unwary player!  :D
