Title: Tommy Gun Armed Monks Manufacturer?
Post by: aircav on October 05, 2021, 09:41:09 PM
Does anyone know where these Tommy gun armed Monks are from?
Hopefully in the U.K.

I can only find an eBay item in the US & no manufacturer details.

I've seen these before on eBay under a "Pulp" description. The maker also makes sci-fi stuff. This seller:

Says these are Battle Valor. Shop is here:

Cheers for that, I completely missed the Battle Valor Games bit.

They have a normal website with quite a lot of stuff  http://www.battlevalorgames.com/index.aspx (http://www.battlevalorgames.com/index.aspx) 
& a U.K. stockist so I may be able to get some in the U.K.

Yes that please. I'm not sure about the sculpts. Or the paintjobs. I'd like to hear how they look in the bare metal.

I've contacted the UK company as they don't have any 28mm stuff on their site, I will let you know how I get on.

They look like old Sgt. Major miniatures from here in the US.

They are the old Sgt. major miniatures. I bought a pack of these guys before that company went under. They are good figures, but some have very heavy mold lines that can be a chore to remove. I bought some different figures from Battle valor, and they had some thick mold lines as well. i actually used my monks as a militant order of healers in my post apocalypse games. These figures are very easy to modify which is nice.
