Title: Assistance Rquired - 'Best' place to purchase 28mm weapons and equipment?
Post by: King Arthur on 08 April 2016, 12:54:10 PM

Hi All

I'm very interested in your opinions for places to shop for loose weapons and equipment pieces for the Medieval era, as I'm currently building a force of Perry plastics, but would like to add in some different weapon choices.

For example, Essex have what appears to be a decent selection:

Any others?

EU based please as the USA Postal prices for International shipping have shot up drastically of late.

Cheers

Gary

Conquest sells plastic sprues of their weapons and shields.

There's also an eBay seller who splits boxes of Perry plastics.

Perry also direct sell singles of some of their sprues.

EDIT

PS: TAG also have quite an armoury, as do HF

Front Rank also have quite a nice selection of extra bits, although they may run a bit chunky for Perry minis.

Thanks for all the tips Gents!

I ordered some Gripping Beast weapons, but they are very big when compared to the Perry Miniatures plastics! I drilled out the hands on a model and even though the axe handle fits, the weapon overall looks disproportioned......

So, the next question does anyone know which weapons fit scale wise to Perry Plastics?

I am building a Westeros House Cerwyn force and their Sigil is a Battle Axe, so I wanted to give a few characters this weapon.

Cheers
