Title: Harlequin Fighting Men
Post by: Paul Richardson on May 06, 2018, 10:51:58 AM: Ages ago, Harlequin made a range of figures called (I think) 'Fighting Men'. They were sculpted by Mark Copplestone and were late medieval / early renaissance figures. Does anyone know who owns the range now? Thanks.

Try Miniature Heroes (http://miniature-heroes.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=462_463_476), although I understand he's now longer a Mirliton supplier, so when the stocks gone, it's gone

He seems to be trading on ebay, and does have some of the Fighting Men on sale.

If you click on the items on the website, http://www.forlornhopegames.com/ it takes you to that section in his ebay shop. I've never seen that before, very clever.

Post by: Paul Richardson on May 08, 2018, 09:16:11 AM: Many thanks everyone. I was after the large hand cannons with crew and I've now ordered them through Mirliton itself in Italy. They kindly have come up with an alternative cheaper way of posting the figures to me.

Post by: Griefbringer on May 08, 2018, 09:23:02 AM: Out of curiosity, what are you planning on doing with those giant hand guns?

Post by: beefcake on May 08, 2018, 10:30:59 AM: They have a cheaper way of posting? I must ask myself! I've been after stuff but postage is ridiculous.

Post by: Paul Richardson on May 08, 2018, 06:25:23 PM: Griefbringer: I have some GW Empire figures from the 80s in my collection. I've always fancied the hand cannons, and I thought they might make a nice addition.
