Title: Old west figure companies
Post by: The Black Rider on February 19, 2009, 10:29:51 PM: Are there any more old west figures out there? I have pretty much most of the ranges from Foundry, Artizan, Conquest, Dixon, Over the wire, Redoubt and a couple of deadlands figures.

Black scorpion and the bigger ranges are pretty much out as i don't really want to add bigger scales to a collection that is already over a hundred figures! I do admit it I have a very bad problem! lol

I heard about bicorne miniatures? However their website doesn't contain any pics.

Any help guys? I know i've probably exhausted the well with that list of companies but i was just wanting to check

Post by: Hitman on February 19, 2009, 11:56:23 PM: If you can get the Bicorne, they will mix reasonably well. Some are a bit larger, but not too bad.

Post by: Athelwulf on February 20, 2009, 02:11:58 AM: Some of the deadlands I have are huge compared to everything else though

Post by: HerbyF on February 20, 2009, 04:51:59 AM: Monday Knight Productions does a line called Desperados. Also Reviresco does a number of Mexicans & Chinese Tong figures. The MKP figs are a little shorter and squatter than Foundery & Dixon & the Reviresco are tall And thin. But they all mix well. Not every one is the same size & shape. Just look around when you get together with your gaming group.

Post by: JollyBob on February 20, 2009, 01:30:52 PM: If you run out of options there are a few sets by Old Glory too:

http://www.oldgloryuk.com/disp_items.php?c=352

Not for the faint hearted if they are anything like their other ranges.

Mind you, OG-UK also carry the Blue Moon range, which is a hell of a lot nicer than the pictures on the site suggest. Well worth picking up a few of them.

Eureka also has some suitable Tong figures (advertised as Chinese pirates) and used to have a set of female indians (if they're not on the site, you can always mail them about them)

Shadowforge has some female old west figures.

Post by: Admiral Benbow on February 22, 2009, 11:41:03 AM: This is a nice collection of all the old west miniature manufacturers and good source for anybody interested in this period, so I'll make this the first sticky for the Old West board. Thanks to all contributing here ...
Title: Re: old west figure companies
Post by: white knight on February 22, 2009, 12:01:49 PM: Brigade Games has some nice Weird West/VSF figures too in the Gaslight range.
Title: Re: old west figure companies
Post by: archangel1 on February 23, 2009, 02:04:04 PM: There is also the ancient set of 'Western Gunfighters' from Grenadier. Not exactly the same quality as today's minis but, you took what you could get in the old days. Decent box art by Larry Elmore, though.
Title: Re: old west figure companies
Post by: Mac Finn on February 23, 2009, 04:31:03 PM: Hello All

Here is my list with the ones already mentioned removed for sanity's sake:

Some good easterners and Big City types are found at B'Hoys. There is also a selection of Police officers for the period.
http://fauxtoys.com/tvag/210-bhoysfigs.html (http://fauxtoys.com/tvag/210-bhoysfigs.html)

Some residents of Tombstone, Outlaws and Mexicans (along with some pistol packing women) are available from Black Scorpion.
http://www.blackscorpionminiatures.com/default.asp (http://www.blackscorpionminiatures.com/default.asp)

Another nice selection of ends is available from Eureka (Including Dr. Hardlove's Steam Driven Suits for the SF at heart)
http://www.eurekamin.com.au/ (http://www.eurekamin.com.au/)

Old Glory has some nice packs for the rank and file and are also the carrier of Crusader and Blue Moon (as Jolly Bob pointed out Blue Moon) that have some nice ones and some cool wagons and carts. This is listed again because the other ranges are somewhat hidden on the website.
http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/bluemoon.asp (http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/bluemoon.asp)

I am a huge fan of Knuckleduster and Artizan but they were already covered above.

Hope that helps
Mac

Post by: argsilverson on February 24, 2009, 01:52:29 PM: May I add some:
HLBS (due to stop them in some short period) mounties and some gold rushers
and Pulp Figures mounties, too!
Not quite Old West (mostly North) but there could be some use.

And also exWestwind miniatures now Old Glory cowboy wars.
Maybe some conquest miniatures might also fill some gaps on Indians.
Crusader miniatures has a set or two.

Post by: Doug ex-em4 on March 12, 2009, 02:08:02 PM: Can I just add our (em4miniatures) modest contribution to the Western figure line-up. I doubt that pre-paints are that popular on LAF, given the wonderful array of painting skills on display but you never know, you may just need some figures urgently on the table and not have time to paint them. Also, our second set includes a complete game and town plan ready to print out.

Anyway, take a look and let me know what you think:

The website http://www.pontoonierminiatures.com/ (http://www.pontoonierminiatures.com/) isn't ready yet, but I understand they reply to emails. I wasn't too keen on the sculpting (not horrible but not worthy if $3 a pop in my book), but where else are you going to find a four piece mariachi band?

Title: Re: old west figure companies
Post by: Aaron on May 21, 2010, 03:48:42 PM: I suspect it is because PPs are 15mm while the BM ones are closer to 18mm. I don't have either, but I have seen the BM offerings in person. They are very nice, but large for 15s. Not something that usually bugs me when it comes to skirmish gaming though. If you base the PPs on a thicker base you probably wouldn't even notice.
Title: Re: old west figure companies
Post by: Extra Crispy on June 02, 2010, 12:55:52 PM: A bit late to the party I know, but if you're looking for 25mm Old West you might also take a look at 1st Corps Mexican-American War and ACW ranges. Any ACW ranges in fact - lots of useful figures in there to be found. You should also look at Tiger Miniatures. They make a Spanish-American war range. Lots of potentially useful figures there too.

Title: Re: old west figure companies
Post by: Gregory on December 13, 2012, 05:08:33 PM: If you want to add some Mexicans, don't forget to look at the Old Glory PIM line of figures.

The Old Glory line of cowboys also have some very nice figures in them mixed throughout the packs. They are not the style of Foundry, but they will blend very well. My collection, which is now the property of another who uses them for games at HMGS conventions, was a mix of the following:

Old Glory - They also offer a lot of wagons for this period, both in the Old Glory line and Blue Moon line.
Britannia
Connoisseur (which Bicorne would be very simular)
Desperado figures - when I purchased them they were Pass of the North figures.
Eureka - of which Old Shipyard owns the Mexican Civilians and bandits
Foundry
Black Scorpion - Now that they are made of resin I would most likely pass on them.
Crusader
Blue Moon - Like getting the mounted and dismounted versions together.
Dixon
I have purchased Knuckleduster and few others, but they were not painted when I sold the collection.

Basically, I have played a lot of games using that collection, which the mix of heights between manufactures, and it was never a problem. The Rules I used were Desperado, and the turn cards were made by photographing the figures and then using a print shop program. The game also runs faster and has many interesting turns if you flip two to four player cards at a time instead of just one at time. I found that there were more street gun fights this way as two players moving at the same time would just step out into the street and roll the dice.

Contact Eric directly he's a very nice chap to deal with. I purchased all the Comanches from him and he sent them to London with no trouble.

You might query Warlord Games since they are selling Eric's FIW miniatures. May not be much of a reach for them to go ahead and bring in the Comanches as well.

Post by: Galloping Major on November 07, 2013, 06:29:17 AM: We've recently launched the first packs of our Western Range, so I thought I had better make mention of the fact on this thread for current and future reference :D

The first packs are dismounted 1880s US Cavalry and Apache warriors - mounted versions will come along later :)

(http://www.gallopingmajorwargames.com/USERIMAGES/1880sWeb1h.jpg)

The range is intended to be an expansive one if well received ;)

For more information, take a look at "The Western Range" and Studio pages on the website, or go straight to The Western Range Shop in the Online Shop.

I bought some - they're nice castings, and he shipped quickly, despite being in the midst of moving house.

Post by: Denizen Kane on April 26, 2015, 12:59:31 AM: I was wondering if there are any Old West lines that go scale wise with Black Scorpion?
Title: Re: Old west figure companies
Post by: Vindice on June 03, 2015, 06:14:55 AM: My Black Scorpion and Artizan look fine together; if you've got a fair of number of each they simply look like normal variations in height. The only thing that can really tip you off is that the BS pistols are a fair bit larger but that's only noticeable if you know it's there and you don'tk now they're not just carrying Colt Dragoons or something.

Post by: Mason on June 04, 2015, 03:27:28 PM: I have figures from most manufacturers in my collection.
I do not fuss too much about them matching exactly, but will say the two extremes, for example Black Scorpion and Reaper at the 'Tall' end and the early Foundry stuff at the 'Short' end can look a little odd together, but on the whole I do not mind.

Most of my 'gangs' are comprised of BS stuff and I find the best to size up with them are Galloping Major, Boot Hill and my own (as I deliberately made them that way ;)).

I agree with vindice, though, BS guns are big!

I use the examples below from my Apache band to demonstrate...

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/1838f240-0277-4f4a-a08f-4084b95459d3_zpssdh97oqx.jpg)

L-R: BB (cowboy conversion), BS, BB (conversion), GM, BS, GM (conversion.

BB: Blind Beggar
BS: Black Scorpion
GM: Galloping Major.

Hope that helps.

Post by: Elbows on February 14, 2016, 08:26:19 PM: We have Knuckleduster in here from before. However, this is the new "large" 32mm digital sculpt line (as well as 28mm proper digital sculpts)

http://knuckleduster.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=1_68

Excellent line-up for those looking to match Black Scorpion etc. All metal, wonderful sculpts. The previous Knuckleduster releases were mediocre hand-sculpts far closer to classic 25mm. This is definitely an entirely different line.
