My ongoing survey of 15mm miniatures useful for BOB

[destofante]

I have been exploring what is available in 15mm for BOB armies/scenarios, outside the obvious ranges covering WWI/RCW. There seem to be several interesting miniatures available, which could be really useful -- but could also be easily missed because listed in different ranges/periods. Some are cast for earlier periods, but I usually operate under the assumption that, at the scale 15mm are designed, differences can be negligible, as long as hats and weapons are a reasonable match (this is particularly true for irregular forces and militias.)

Here is what I came up with. I hope this will help others, too. The list is arranged by manufacturer, range/period, code, and description.

There is more to do, especially in regard of the Chinese. From Taiping Rebellion to Boxers Rebellion to the Warlords Age, there are several options to explore for figures that would fit well in a BOB setting. I'll share those at a later time, when I'll find the time to expand the survey.

Blue Moon have some useful figures in their WWI, Horror, Colonial, Deep Dark Africa, etc. ranges;

The Lancashire Tibetans etc are 18mm. And quite noticeably larger than Minifigs and Peter Pig.

I had them and the Minifigs Crimean figs (which are lovely. They are amongst the first figures I ever got and are some of my favourites.)
