First game - Miniature/unit question

Hey there, just trying to setup my first game here. This question might be silly but I'm going to ask anyway.

In the rules, it states that you must play with 5 characters per team. 3 heroes and 2 troops, or, 2 heroes and 3 troops.

Let's say you opt to play with 2 heroes & 3 troops. How do you represent your troops? There is only one character sheet for each type of troop, and only one miniature. How do you keep track of which troop has used what equipment? Their HP etc? Also, there is only one minature for each troop, would you represent 3 troops by using one minature and 2 tokens? I'm not quite sure about this haha.

Or do I just have this all ass-backwards and you use one miniature to represent 3 troops all together? I hope this is clear enough to describe my problem. Thanks!

Hi!

welcome to the game,

It was added in there for future troop releases. There will be a troop pack coming out down the road (the current troops we already have with new equipment).

I have 2 copies of tannhauser so I have played with 3 troops and just troop battles. quite fun.

Thanks for the welcome!

But, how are you supposed to do it with the original core game?

At the Moment you can't, short of buying a 2nd Core Rules, or geting on to ToY and buying the unpainted Minies pack (and painting them up your self) and going to a Printers like Kinkos in the US and having duplicats of the Cards and Counters made up.

Yeah, I kind of figured as much now :( I think it's just kind of strange that they would suggest the 2 heroes 3 troops option in the main rulebook, and not provide additional trooper miniatures & sheets in the core box. Do you have a link to where I could purchase some unpainted characters? I would love to try my hand at painting some! Have either of you guys used miniatures from other games as your own custom characters?
