Title: Figures like the hungarian vampire slayers?
Post by: driller on July 30, 2012, 09:57:05 AM

I'm planning to beef up my warband with figures LIKE the West Wind hungarian vampire slayers (which I already own)

I have found these boyars by Trent miniatures (only the 1st and the 5th chap is usable IMHO)

but I need more... minis with an eastern european, XIXth century, bit of a nobleman look. Any ideas?

Foundry Cossacks sculpted by Copplestone should work for you.

Check out the Assault Group Renaissance range, particularly the Russians, Poles and Ottomans

I'm using the Foundry cossacks, as has already been suggested; may possibly try to track down some dismounted Napoleonic  Hussars (not sure if any are actually available, possible as aides/vignette pieces?) to add to them and/or use some of the North Star 1866 Austro-Hungarian officers...

Maybe the Warmachine Kossites may be of use?

excellent suggestion! while browsing the Warmachine site I've also found Greylord Ternion, also a suitable model, it's just his axe is waaay too cartoony-big (that's not a sexual innuendo I swear!)
