So you want to start sculpting minis?  You are invited to join:

You'll learn all you wanted to about sculpting minis, and a buch about
casting 
them.  

Ensure that you peruse the FAQs.

Now to answer the question more direclty... 

Most people, an overwhelming majority of mini sculptors in fact, use
"green 
stuff", or Kneadatite.	It's a two part, epoxy putty comes in ribbons. 
One 
half of the ribbon is blue, the other half yellow, mixed together they
wind 
up green and it starts curing.	There are other formulas of this type of

putty too, each with different characteristics that are suited to
different 
types of sculpting.

Some people use FIMO, it's an oven-curing putty.

Others use SuperSculpy, also oven-curing.
