Title: Help to find ancient greek actors
Post by: argsilverson on 13 August 2017, 01:45:08 PM: Hi all
Although I will use them in some pulp setting its more appropriate to ask here since you know better what is available!

I am looking for some 28mm male figures, bearded, holding a staff in toga/ancient Greek tunic suitable to man the chorus of an ancient Greek drama. If available singly is a great advantage is agreat advantage since buying six packs is quite a silly thing.

Can you recommend something?

Thanks in advance

Have a look at at these civilian ranges:
Wargames Foundry (https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/ancient-civilians?page=1)
Warlord Games (former Immortal) (https://store.warlordgames.com/products/greeks-greek-civilians)
Newline Designs (http://newlinedesigns.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=410_429_449)
Maybe you could ask if they can provide you with individual models. And also consider small conversions.

The elders from Black Tree Design might work?
