Peasants are by definition country folk.

Black Tree Design make two sets of peasants -"Good people of the land" in their Feudal list as well as a blacksmith and forge.  I know some people feel service from Black Tree is poor but I have never had any trouble.
Curtey's Miniatures also have civilians.  I don't have any of these so I don't know what these are like.

Cheers mate. Blacktree do some nice things and I've never had issues either besides a small delay. I think I'll go Perry or Warlord though. Warlord have a beggar I really want for my Quest for Glory project as well which plods along slower than a snail.

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

Silly question but how do the Mirilton figures compare (in terms of scale/sculpt/etc.) to other manufacturers? Could they be mixed in with other manufacturers' figures for a large crowd?

Street-wise yokels?

I was going to mention ebobminiatures' pack of three townsfolk, but I see it is discontinued. Not much point mentioning it, then.

Well, they could be rubes in town for the fair, I suppose.

I modified the Old Glory figures quite easily. Change the weapons from upright to downward...ie brooms, scythes, pitchforks so they look like they are being used for their general purpose. Plus they are cheap.

Maybe they're a bit too fantasy looking, although I gather they would look right at home next to the Bruegelburg crowd, but there's a Kickstarter running right now offering non-combat villagers/townspeople: Dunkeldorf...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I spotted those as well. A bit pricey though and being a kickstarter there is always the risk. Some cool little guys in there though.

Not a silly question mate lol. I haven't ordered any yet so can't help sorry. Planning to order some towards end of the year.

I’d try Norwich, if I was you but before closing time if you want them unarmed.

I'm really shocked. I knew medieval peasants lived in hovels, but I had no idea they were so small.
