A bit of an interesting one this month! What are your Top 3 items from our catalogue? Not ranges, or codes, but actual figures? It could be an officer from the AWI, a particularly nasty looking ogre with a club, or a much nicer looking bit of armour? Pics as well if poss!
1) Napoleon III
2) Aliens (the figures that first introduced me to 10mm)
3) 1870 Brunswick Infantry - hell, no, 1870 French, no 1870 prussians, erm... 1870 Wurrtenbergers... Lets' just say the entie 1870 range, no, the AWI American range, no the....
Ohh, too many to choose from!
*Sound of brain meltdown*
1) Samurai Apes (Obvious, hu?^^)
2) Aliens (So cooooll!! Do want!)
3) Sand Orcs (Great idea)
My Top 3 are:
1) Matilda I
2) ECW Cavalry in lobster pot
3) Ottoman Bombard
* Late medieval mounted commander
* 1870 French Imperial command despatcher
* Mounted Union general (aka Franc Tireur commander)

hmmmm :-\
I reckon my top three would be
1) Austrian Field Marshal Radetzky circa 1848-49 (saw that one coming :) )
2) CSA Cavalry trooper in slouch hat with sword
3) A new Alien type not associated with the movies
Just three?!! oh the pain
The 18th Century Carriage. If I could work out the rules I'd do F1 in pre-revolutionary Paris
Why not F1 in Revolutionary Paris - tumbril carts would probably win by a head. :d

Very specific, and tomorrow the list might be slightly different:
From the SYW line, french infantry marching. Hard to explain, they just look good on the table.
The French line officer from the FPW line, every inch an officer.
There is a late war German WWII infantry figure with camo cape and panzerfaust (over his shoulder) who has this great "how many kilometers do I have to march today" look about him.
1) Charging samurai horseman with lance forward.
2) Polish hussar (the single-wing chap; haven't seen the more recent version).
3) Turk on barded horse with mace.
This seems a bit too inclined to the arme blanche, but horsemen do paint up so prettily.
As lentulus says, this'll depend on the day...but, today:

Ok, bit late to the party, but:
1 - Fire Elemental: full of character.
2 - The bloke from WW3 "Carrier pigeon with wicker basket", just love the detail.
3 - Beggar Women: loads of potential for conversion.
