b) many of the figure look a bit cartoonish or warhammer dwarfish if you get my meaning, where I was looking for as real as possible looking minatures, and probably the smaller the better because then you could create 'big battle scenes'

any advice for a minature newbie

Yunus Dogus;

I would suggest 10mm. Enough detail to look the part, and still gives a mass appearance. Lots of companies out there are producing 10mm minis now, after the release of Ancient Warmaster.

Thanks for the nice comments.
