I'd just like to make the obligatory friendly reminder that Kilts were not worn until the 16th century.

Yeh, but without kilts it is hard to make them look Scottish. Possibly unfeasibly large carrot coloured beards  lol

Anyone make a 28mm haggis?

As I mentioned.....this is a 'fantasy' based Celt army.
The kilt look is just a theme.

Dont forget the obligatory 'tam o shanter' wotsit to go on top...

These are all they have for now, but maybe Nick can shine a little more light on when/if/how the rest of the range will be released?

Thank you, sir.
A little more patience on my part may have paid off.

Mirliton wood elves have a very Celtic look (possibly more of a Gallic vibe rather than Scottish).

Possibly for your command - Footsore

For a completely fantasy highlander range, you can also look at Reaper:

Some fine suggestions in there.
Thank you all!
 :)

It looks like I need to get hold of some of those AA Sidhe figures, thanks to LeadAsbestos and his Gallery for finally tipping me into that direction.
(Although the Formorians tempt me too, and there is a Formorian list in the Celt expansion book for OGAM I think....).

Whilst not being of the ginger persuasion myself it is a terrible generalisation against our nation!  lol

I am using Mierce Miniatures for my Fantasy Scots/Picts - the Albain and Erain ranges. Painted up a test unit a while back.



The range includes plenty of giants and ogre type figures if you like that kind of thing.



They are not cheap, but they are splendid. And they do have quite regular sales.
