Title: 54mm knights
Post by: lord marcus on December 14, 2017, 02:34:58 PM
Does anyone know of some decently priced 54mm foot fantasy or Historical Knights?

It depends on what reasonably priced means to you, and how many you want.
Metal ones are $14-$25 each, which might be fine if you only need a few.  Probably not if you want 30.

Plastic "toy soldier" types are much cheaper and paint up to be quite nice looking.
Something like these:

I have some unused die-cast Britains on foot I could offer. Agincourt, I think. Like these: http://www.crowntoysoldiers.com/Pages/BritainsRetiredAgincourtKnights.aspx

Hi Marcus,

This is a store that might provide some inspiration: https://www.toysoldierco.com/  Look under Britains (Marx and Accurate also make some good ones) or do a search for "knights" and you're off. The owner, Jamie Delson, is a good chap; his prices aren't always the lowest, but he is extremely helpful and his service is excellent. He's also great on the phone and could give some guidance if desired.

Italeri (hard) plastic From their 100 Years' War range.  Couple I painted.

Can't recall if I bought from Ebay or Amazon.  There were some mounted knights in the pack too.  Advertised as 1:32 rather than 54mm but, as we know, same thing.   ::)

Check out Expeditionary Force minis from Singapore.  Beautiful range of English and French Hundred Years War figures.  Quite reasonably priced.

Here you go

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/RoninMiniatures?ref=shop_sugg&section_id=16231763

(Be aware folks, there's some NSFW stuff on that etsy shop too). The knights look very very good though, and some nice static poses.
