Check out these 18th Century figures!
« on: February 05, 2007, 03:50:05 PM »
Hi Guys

Check out these 18th Century figures I found from Germany and be prepared to drool all over your key board! These are the most characterful figures I've ever seen. They are big however. I need a new scale like I need another hole in the head but I can't resist them, I'm going to be doing some Gloire Games with these. The link is:

Those are some great looking 54mm's!

I had originally considered doing all the Rattrap games in 54mm since they were skirmish games and you would not ned a lot of figures. However, the whole point was to keep the game affordable to all players so I went with 28s.

But for a convention game...  :D

They really are magnificent figures, particularly the 30 Years' War stuff. And at 54mm they would be impressive to game with. Although I'd be afraid I'd ruin their nice paint jobs!

Remember! Double your distances!

Actually they come unpainted so you only have to worry about ruining your own paint job. Lol!

Well, that's all right, then.  :oops:

Ahh, Peipp... certainly one of the best. And I have to say that "3Musketeers"-style Swashbuckling would be the one period/theme I´d unconditionally play with 54mm figures (for all other stuff, I´d have serious practicality issues).

Doesn´t help that TV today re-ran "Das Wirtshaus im Spessart", a Biedermeier spoof over Robbers in the Spessart forests and their chilling exploits and charming songs. :D Now I want a set of those Räuberbande Miniatures... damn!

Westfalia Chris, do you know of more manufacturers of miniatures like this? I am interested in 18th Century figures that will match with Peipp's 45mm line myself (I understand their 45mm figures are very large, almost 54mm by most manufacturers standards).

Ahhh... well, Peipp has got that market niche pretty much cornered.

Other well-renowned 54mm german manufacturers include:

Ritter C.B. von Krauthauser: http://www.krauthauser.com/Index.htm (german only, but click "Galerie" or "Katalog" for pictures of figures.

Hecker & Goros: http://www.hecker-goros.de/html/figuren.html Click "1:32" for 54mm figures.

Please note that all those are more model manufacturers rather than gaming figures.

Those are excellent, too, if even more detailed, expensive and fragile, to my mind...
