Title: Late Medieval Fancy Civilians?
Post by: HappyChappy439 on July 22, 2020, 07:54:36 PM: Hi!

This might be a bit of an odd one, but does anyone know if there are any manufacturers of 28mm scale 15th century civilians who are more 'fancy' like nobles, merchants and such, or 'non-combat' knights?

There seem to be a few civilians available for the era, but most of them are peasants and labourers

This sort of thing, with houppelandes, big floppy sleeves, and such:

Cheers

The other figures in the pack have armour and weapons, though several of them have hats instead of helmets, and one has robes over the armour.

There is also a mounted version of Henry VI with Margaret of Anjou:

Some of the artillery packs in that range also contain master gunners in pretty rich looking civilian dress, though having artillery equipment in one hand would require a bit of conversion. It may be worth looking for gun crews in other ranges too, especially ones that are sold separate from the guns.

Finally, some Italian clergy in expensive looking robes:

Post by: HappyChappy439 on July 29, 2020, 12:01:43 AM: Thanks for the pointers everyone!

Silly question but how do the Mirliton figures scale up to the Perry ranges?

Post by: Stuart H on August 04, 2020, 02:05:22 PM: And do look at Simon "Je Le Empirins" excellent conversions including his paymaster - most are Perrys I think. I think he captures civilian clothing and non-combatants well.
