I've been hard pressed to find good cheap minis here in the US. I think Milliput (or similar epoxy putty) is made in the UK. Have never done it before but going to try my hand at making minis. Might be an idea to try.... taking the advice of a mini maker from here that it is a matter of practice practice practice. Not sure how popular heroclix are over there. The used ones (a buck or under here) can be stripped of the paint and modded for RPG play. Just throwing some options out there. I think you might be right about milliput being from the UK, but pretty sure you can get it in the US, try Hobby lobby here: www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Hobbies-Collecting/Tools-Blades/Milliput-Standard-Yellow-Grey/p/25393Also here in the UK, we have LOADS of miniature manufacturers, some big and most really small indie ones, so we get options for plenty of great miniature related stuff (which includes tons of cheap and decent priced minis)

Found a place on the west coast that had milliput really cheap (end of year sale).
Will have to look through the links on my laptop for minis. I haven't been saving the European links much but I think I do have a few... and no clue what the cost of living and pound to Euro exhange rate is so might not be much help.
If Hobby Lobby was the only craft store left in the USA I'd pay double for shipping to buy from another store out of the country but that's a whole other issue.

That is one hell of a list! After finding a deal on several packs of caesars fantasy minis (vendor was "mysalesmr" on ebay) and some Alliance zombies (SET2) and Strelets roman senators (SET1) for civilians ("flagbearer101" also on ebay), so sadly I won't be at liberty to buy any more minis for a good while, but I'm holding on to this list until then! Damned good resource.
