My vote goes for Minifigs. Old school I know, but I really like them.

If you're willing to go to 18mm then I'd recommend the Eureka Miniatures range (from Fighting 15s if you want to purchase them from the UK, otherwise direct).

Thanks Hollyoak
     I see where you are coming from i have a french Napoleonic army in 15mm from minifigs , but they do look a bit dated and i like the march attack pose found the advance a bit of a pain when basing them up ,
            You would think that they would of cleaned off the  flash,  before they took the pics for the web site ( brit lancers ,hussars ) , thats a big turn off for me, when you have to spend time cleaning up the figure before you even start to paint it up.
 
Thanks von luck ,
    Have just  looked at Eureka 18mm , i dont like how the infantry have bowed legs ,They just dont look right in my eyes.
Thanks for you input ,happy gaming

p.s

Hoist on my own petard!  Oh, the calumny.  To think of things is to, well, think of things.
