Recommendartions solicted for good 20mm ranges

[Doug ex-em4]

My nephew has decided to move on to WW2. He thought of 28mm but I suggested he goes for 20mm (when I did WW2 originally, back in 1970 that was the only choice, if we can stretch a point and include Airfix, Matcvhbox etc as 20mm).

So, he asked me to recommend some ranges. He says quality is more important than cost (he works for a bank...!). I'm totally out of touch with the subject so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

AB Figures?

[janner]

I have mostly Britannia as I just loved the character of the late Dave Howitt's work.

However, if I were to start from scratch then AB would be the first point of call.

AB.

I haven't seen them in the lead but I always thought Battlefield Miniatures looked quite good. Their older ranges are here.

FAA are excellent - have been difficult to get hold of for a few years, but rumour has it that the line has been sold on and will be available again very soon.

Agreed and I believe that they mix well AB?

cp/tqd has quite a lot of 20mm world war II miniatures might be worth a look

If he wants to go down the plastic route check out the following website - It is a review of 1/72nd etc and rates each of the offerings available and compares sizes.  A good source for all figures at this scale

Thanks all for the input - I'll pass the info along.

I forgot the rather uninspiring 20mm range from Wargames Foundry as well.

May I also recommend visiting The Guild...

www.guildwargamers.com

The forum is pretty much 90% 20mm and we have many manufacturers on the forum as well as hobbyists, and also 'living' catalogues of figure ranges.

I run the forum with Matt from Elhiem Figures.

Thanks - the Guild was also recommended to me on TMP (maybe that as you as well?). I'll pass that link on.
