28mm War of the Roses?
« on: September 08, 2020, 02:23:12 PM »
Hello,
      Besides, Perry miniatures, are there any other 28mm miniatures for the War of the Roses?
Thank you

There is also Old Glory (link is to the US site but there's a UK site too:
https://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/products.asp?cat=180

Essex do a few too but I couldn't really see any examples of photos on their site.

Both are what one might be tempted to describe as old school when compared to the Perry and Front Rank ranges. I've used from of the Old Glory casualties from their Ward of the Roses range before.

Don't forget the small late medieval range from Steel Fist Miniatures:

https://www.steelfistminiatures.com/product-category/later-medieval-1460-1490-product_cat-19

Those foot knights are right there for WotR, and size-wise very good fit for Perry and Crusader WotR ranges.

I've plundered some of the Casting Room miniatures stuff for a few specific extras (e.g., peasants/townsfolk):
https://www.castingroomminiatures.com/collections/collection-3
https://www.castingroomminiatures.com/collections/renaissance

Likewise Mirliton might have a few character figures that could provide a bit of variety:

For the Essex Miniatures, check out their 'Later Period' section, and flick to the end pages & refer to the dates mentioned in some of the descriptions:
https://www.essexminiatures.co.uk/collections/25mm-medieval-later-period

1st Corps/Curteys - perhaps possible to use their Hussite-era stuff for early WotR 1440-1460ish?

LCpl McDoom... What do you think, Would the Mirtilton would fit in with Perry miniatures?

Here are some Perry and Mirliton (ex-Grenadier) figures I painted last year, mixed in together.
They’re a pretty good fit (size and stature wise, anyway).

Good to know about Mirliton Captain Blood.

I had at one time a WotR army made up entirely of Old Glory figures.  It was a really nice army.  But I sold it.  When I started again, I started using Perry plastics.  The Old Glory figures are visibly smaller than the Perry stuff when next to each other.
