Looking for unarmed peasants
« on: March 06, 2019, 07:43:34 AM »
As the title says I'm looking for unarmed medieval peasants to be townsfolk in a city. Beggars and peasants, shopkeepers and anything else. All I seem to find, other than reaper, are armed versions.

Perrys have some. Including women, children etc

Foundry do several packs, they’re very nice but nearer 25mm than 28mm.

Foundry also do some larger ones as part of their Casting Room miniatures line:

Black Tree do some too:

Both ranges have blokeys with pitchforks and scythes, but generally in fairly passive poses

Thank you all, do many to choose from. I like the foundry but the Perry are very high up too and slightly cheaper, slightly. Decisions decisions. I may get some armed ones too with the unarmed as poor obandits.

Peasants are by definition country folk.

 I second the Mirilton ones, they have some really unique and characterful figures plus a load of accessories like food etc

Old Glory has several different packs of 'revolting Peasants'.  While they are for the most part armed (with rocks, clubs, farm implements) they are cheap and weapons could be easily snipped off or re-purposed.

Warlord Games has several packs of civilians from different historical eras.  Not exactly medieval, but could be modified to look more medieval quite easily:
