I mentioned my foray into fantasy miniatures in my last post. I have bought figures from Splintered Light Miniatures for use with the Song of Blades and Heroes skirmish rules.
The rules are fantastic and they have several modules for playing various genres, including modern combat.
These are great rules for teaching a child how to wargame...simple, but with good depth. The "traits" that can be added to the base figure stats give lots of character.
I bought one of each of the Druid's Children and the Flowering...these are anthropomorphic animals with weapons.
The figures are in various sizes based on the animals represented...12mm for a rat, to 25mm or so for a badger. They fit nice with 25mm figures.
Below are some links to the relevent web pages:

Actually I bought a pdf of the SBH rules after reading your post yesterday. They do read well . . . and I am glad to see something that runs counter to the over-done rules and charts of D&D which turned it from a ROLE-playing game into a dice-rolling, table-searching rules-lawyering abomination.

Great to hear Jeff. I always thought of myself as a "crunchie" kind of rules guy...until I read these rules and realized how much you can do with the mechanics.
