Does anyone have a son who plays Warhammer?

My almost 10 year old son has discovered Warhammer games. A seemingly harmless bit of fun where you collect miniatures, paint them, create scenes, and then play stragtegy games. We've recently discovered that the figures are almost 95% lead!!! So needless to say, he will not be allowed to collect. (luckily we hadn't yet bought any). My questions at twofold. One, if your child is playing with these toys, get a lead test and stop playing immediately and Two, what can we find as a substitute? He was really excited about the game and his birthday is coming up. We just don't know what to get him. Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks.

hello, my boyfriend plays warhammer and he said that they havent been making them with lead since the 80's and if you have any questions for the makers of the figures you can call 1-800-395-game. hope this helps.
