Title: 28mm Naked Celts
Post by: East Riding Militia on 11 July 2012, 08:04:49 AM

I'm looking for 28mm (or whatever it's called today) sized figures suitable for a naked Celtic/Gallic warband. As many different figures as can be found and am happy to do some conversion work on some to make them fit in.
So my question is who makes suitable figures? I've found Warlord, Old Glory, 1st Corps, Navigator, Foundry and Gripping Beast but need more  :D

I used the bigger ranges- A&A, Black Tree and Foundry.   I used a lot of the nekkid greeks Foundry make, with headswaps; nice minis and I had no other use for them.

BTD "fanatic Picts" are marvelous big guys, though they don't have spiked hair.  As Simon says, the Foundry Greeks offer considerable variation in nekkid big fellers.  And when I say "big": no, not that way.  Nobody sculpts well-endowed historical naked warriors, much to the disappointment of the distaff element of the Curtis family.

For something more along the lines of "classic Foundry" size, the former Newline (now SHQ) nekkid Celts and Galatians are great, and match the Gripping Beast fanatics very well.

EDIT:  And you asked on Frothers, too?  Doessn't indicate much confidence, I'd say.
