Title: ID these minis please
Post by: Furt on 24 April 2016, 09:41:22 AM: The Medieval Adventures board is really NOT my expertise .

Could any one please help in identifying these minis for me I spotted while scouring the web this afternoon?

Yep, there they are...
Haven't got a clue what they are I'm afraid. They look a bit Blue Moon-ish, but the bases are wrong for that... Those are seriously chunky bases :o

Post by: fastolfrus on 24 April 2016, 09:58:24 AM: The sculpting style reminds me of old Ral Partha types, but not sure that I have seen any of these particular figures before.
The bases look like a chess set, but there are a lot of (different) females so not sure on that one either.

The broad with her hands on her hips appears at the bottom center labelled Mega 25mm. Mega Miniatures I assume?

Ring any bells now? Mega Miniatures deals as Johnny Borg Castings now - I wonder are these still available?

Thanks Lowtardog - Yup you are right - found 'em. Known as both the Royal Court (Turnkey) and King's Court (Mega).

Post by: 3 fingers on 24 April 2016, 10:45:40 AM: Bit late to the party and a useless piece of information,but the hands on hips I'm sure someone painted up and used as a noble type in a rogue trader style setting.

Thanks! I was wondering what happened to this range, they fit in well with the older 25mm figures.
