Title: 28 mm figure search
Post by: FifteensAway on 17 July 2013, 02:20:16 AM

Sorry, all you hoping I've converted to those oversized miniatures!  lol  It's for a "local" gamer:

"Looking for a source that sells 28mm minis of TV / Movie cowboys including the collection that had John Wayne, Gary Cooper, James Arness and a few others."

Anyone able to offer assistance?  If so, thanks!   :)

I'm not overly familiar with the various Old West ranges unfortunately.  I found the one range I like best and ran with it --- I'm also pretty new to the Old West scene.  I know some guys on here have been gaming it for 20 years... lol

Artizan and Ebob have Man with No Name ranges.

Crusader has a mounted/dismounted True Grit Marshal

Artizan has some Deadwood characters.

Brigade Games has a fair few Deadwood inspired minis. They also have True Grit Rooster (new version), Hell on Wheels' Cullen and the Swede and a set that includes Virgil and Everett from Appaloosa and Ben Wade from 3:10 to Yuma (Russell Crowe).

The Great Escape Games DMH ranges had loads of inspired minis throughout including Doc Holliday, Cullen Bohannon, The Preacher from Pale Rider, Django (Unchained), Charlie Prince from 3:10 to Yuma.

That's more like you fine folk here at LAF.  Thanks, all.  And if more ideas arrive I'll pass them on to Alex. :)
