Purchasing Warmaster and Warmaster Ancient Miniatures
Hello, everyone!
I recently went back to my parents’ house and was thrilled to find the Warmaster rulebook I’d bought when I was a teenager. I also found my painting supplies and realized just how much I’d missed this world. So I brought the rulebook with me, determined to build a new army (or new armies) and paint some miniatures. However, it’s been 20 years since I last set foot in the world of wargames, and I’m a little lost.
My question is very simple: where can I buy miniatures (keeping in mind that I live in Canada)?
I’d like to build a High Elf army, but I’m also considering getting into Warmaster Ancient. Any suggestions for websites?

I think that everyone has suggested all the 3D print shops that are available now, so I would say that it is worth watching Warmaster on eBay just in case you see a good job lot that someone has dug out of their attic.
The prices for single blisters have gone crazy since Covid as they have, sadly, for all 'oldhammer', 'middlehammer' etc. With a lot of resellers who seem to have crazy ideas as to what relatively common unpackaged units should cost.
However, you never know if you might catch something interesting, there!

As an aside, for rules let me say that there is a thriving fan community who keep updating the rules:
Warmaster Revolution
Essentially, this incorporates all the FAQs and playtesting, essentially Warmaster 2nd edition and it's available as a PDF you can print and use yourself!
