Empire users: Help!

Hi, I'm going to start an Ostlander warband and, if you don't remember it, they use a lot of Blackpowder weapons. To make my own warband, I'm going to buy an Empire Militia Box (It's the best choice to do it, right?) and I know that inside I wouldn't find 12-14 blackpowder weapons, in diferent types (Handgun, pistols, blunderbuss, and so on) so I decided to buy 'bits' at ebay, but I've a doubt:

Will these bits 'fit' in Militia bodies? Keep in mind that the bits only has the right arm:
Empire Marksman Weapons
Empire Handgunner Weapons

I need an answer before 24 hours, to bid if I can use them, so please, help me!

I think they'll probably fit fine, with a minimal amount of work on the left arm. I haven't tried it myself but I know the newest Empire plastics are the same size as the older Militia.

No they won't fit that easily... nor are that versatile... but they are great non the less! (they require a little bit of greenstuff/filing down the edges... but are great parts!

if you want a variety of guns... go for the outriders box... this is a great one, with a lot of guns, weird blackpowder stuff, and holsters to boot! also nice other details to be added to any warband...

Thanks for the fast reply.

So...you recomend me to buy the box of 10 handgunners (17'5€)


And buy the rest of the band? I only need, besides the box, 5 more, and knowing a shop where you can buy miniatures instead of boxes, for 1-2€ every miniature (depending if it's painted or not)? It's this way better than buying the militia box (30€) + bits ?

I know I am a little late, but there are people who sell single plastic figures on ebay, so you might want to see if you can find someone that sells that way.

I must say, even though I might be too late, that the Empire Handgunner kit is GREAT. You get all you need to make marksmen for many many warbands (equipped with wither Crossbows, making for good Witch Hunter conversions, or Handguns, for your fancy flamboyant Marienburgers). I have one, and I probably will buy another one
