A friend of mine recently offered me a nice old BT game! Im so proud of having it and im reading the rules so i can start playing!
But the game comes without figurines. Where can i buy small figurines so i can use those in the game?
The game is IS only, at the year 3049, so no clan figurines needed. But i would much prefer PGI / MWO artstyle mechs! Is there a website or shops or whatever where i can order and buy?
Thanks for all the help

There's also ebay and amazon as well as a facebook page for BT stuff on sales, including figurines

Are those MWO art style figurines?

Still, between PGI/HBS using them and almost thumbs-upping players who've 3D printed their own, it doesn't seem that they care too much. It's the difference between making fan-works for yourself, and trying to make a profit off of someone else's work.
Still, if you want the real deal that matches the real art and feeling of the 3025/3050s setting (MWO's High-tech looking designs just don't mesh with the barely-understood-ancient-technology scavenger culture feel of the setting), and don't want to jump through hoops to get your own 3D printer or under-the-table stuff from god-knows-who. you want the official minis. You could get a starter box, which has a good number of them, as well as record sheets and other supplies you'd need; you could get the Alpha Strike lance packs (And just ignore all the alpha strike cards), or you could get the pewter miniatures from Ironwind Metals.
If you go introbox, remember that if you get an old (Before 2007) box, you're going to have obsolete rules inside. Only the new boxed sets, and the 3rd edition boxed set from... 1991 or 1992, have miniatures of any kind. Most editions had cardboard standies.

Some might be converted but they're usually labelled as such.

as to the miniatures, the beautiful thing is you could use coins, slips of paper, ect to play.
but if ya gotta have miniatures, IWMs(someone already posted the link to it above) is the way to go but if you are lucky you might find a bit cheaper ones on Ebay.

he needs to understand that mwo is not canon and that mwo only is renting the rights for digital game.
the looks for these mechs for mwo are nice for this game but nothing else.
