Title: Big Help...Please Robin Hood
Post by: Eric the Shed on June 20, 2013, 10:04:53 PM

Hi Guys

Thinking caps on...

I need to source a decent Robin Hood & Merry Man gang 28mm - it appears this is no longer in the foundry catalogue

Plus I need peasants, feudal farmers, merchants etc all from the early middle ages

Please list all suggestions as I now need to populate Nottingham !!

Dave Thomas sometimes has old Foundry stock.

Otherwise how about Old Glory?

You can have mine Giles they won't get used by me. Mine are GW Perry sculpts.

I think you might end up with a surplus of the main characters ;) but, Conquest Games (http://www.conquest-games.co.uk/index.php?cPath=31_40&osCsid=0478db88e657fcd6d9e981bbd1129f24) have just bought some out and Mirliton (http://www.mirliton.it/product_info.php?pName=the-merry-sherwood-company&cName=fantasy-2528mm-humans) have the old Grenadier(?) ones - don't have either, so don't know about the sizes (do you know about Black Hats range, too small?)

Trent have a Friar Tuck & Maid Marian & North Star have a few based on that (awful) recent TV series. There's also a couple of high born ladies in Ebob's rebellion range as well.

BTD (http://www.blacktreedesign.com/uk/home.php?cat=2482) have some nice peasants in their feudal range (& some of the Celtic peasants might suit)

Have you thought about Barony Miniatures? www.baronyminiatures.com/
These are sculpted by Max Carr, on of Heritage's old designers. They are perfect for the period you want to do and the prices are very reasonable! I have a few of these and like them very much. They are 28mm figures and fit well with Essex and Foundry.

Splintered Light also do a small range that might suit.

We're in the US, but I hope this helps! These are Gripping Beast Viking Women from http://www.architectsofwar.com/ (http://www.architectsofwar.com/) that might work, the far left and far right figures for peasants perhaps:

Mega Miniatures (http://freeboardgamesnow.com/fantasytownfolk.aspx (http://freeboardgamesnow.com/fantasytownfolk.aspx)) is closing soon, but they still have some great background peasants up:

And there are Old Glory http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/ (http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/) peasants we have our eyes on converting
