Anyone do nice figures for this period, circa 1859?

In 28mm, struggling to find anything. In particular am after Sardinian forces.

Cheers

Mirliton ? (more 25 mm)

You, me, and a few others: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=49797.0

Try Battle Honors and Mirliton. The ranges seem to be compatible but I dislike the figures.

I used to have the Mirlton figures, they are small and a bit basic but paint up OK.
Just wondering is 20mm an option?

Irregular miniatures apparently has a huge range but is a bit of an acquired taste

Great stuff all round. Thanks chaps

Not sure if this is relevant anymore but Cibos Little Dudes do a comprehensive range in 28mm, nice company to deal with

Cibo 's are nice and well detailed to enhance painting details
but, as you asked about 1859 campaign, do not exclude Mirliton range..they are compatible with everything , once painted they look good and..their Piedmontese range is the richest one...with particular types that nobody make..like the "Voloire" mounted artillery, the mounted Carabinieri (military police used as shock troop and personal guard to the King) with their unique flamboyant service dress and hedgear, the light cavalry Hussards of Pavia and Guides, Sapeurs, Bersaglieri in campaign dress, Personalities, line infantry and every cavalry type in campaign dress...

The hussards of Pavía weren't sardinians nor italians. They were and are a spanish cavalry unit.

Heroes of the Dark Age do 1859 Austrians. They have line infantry with command with Jagers on the way. They have superb Hussars with again more cavalry on the way. This is a new range and they also do Franco Prussian war 1870. All are in 28mm

Yes I had forgotten them, they are nice I know the owner is planning to expand the range, The Austrian foot infantry were sculpted by Martin Baker

Call me dense - but I've found FPW but no 1859 figures at the Heroes of the Dark Ages website. Am I missing something?

I think they are included under the FPW label?

Yes, look under the Franco Prussian Tag. The range is going to be expanded to include most of the cavalry units. The jagers should be out this month and also the small duchy of Modena figures in July. The website is going to be updated soon so that it is easier to navigate. I will try and post some figure shots over the weekend.
