The Gray Ghost,
I have on my blog a set of pages across the top which lead to lists of applicable figure manufacturers, books,  movies. The pages are abbreviated common names for the various interwar actions, GR=German Revolution, etc.

Great page you have there
I really like those Ådalen Miniatures, do you know if they are for sale yet?
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

If you want to add another category of miniatures to your section for the Finnish Civil War:

It is there already. Look for the title, "FCW"  ;)

Unless someone has a more accurate and contrary answer, I'm afraid that they are not. The maker has been silent since August 2012.  :(

I was more thinking of the "Armed Female household staff category"  :D

On the same note, take a look at this:

Wow!  :o  Those are definitely interesting character pieces.  8)  I hadn't heard or seen the line before; thanks for sharing the link.  ;)

I added/updated the links on my blog pages as well. I added Siberia, and gave credit to Tsuba for their RJW Russians being quite versatile for 1917-1921 Baltic or Eastern European armies. Also added in some vehicle makers.

You can also have your Freikorps head a bit further east and fight in the Baltic wars.  Their foes will include the Red Army (so Russian Civil War figures work well) as well as the Latvians (not to mention Poles) and almost went at it with the Estonians.  In fact, some of the Latvian troops were civilian militia, so Red Army WW II partisans (provided they are rifle armed, no Russian submachineguns) would work for them.  Artizan has two sets of Partizan Riflemen which would work (again, steer clear of the light machine guns and submachine guns, which are WW II models).  When using civilian militias, beware of figures that look too French (any Maquis figures with berets - and no sten guns or SchmeiserS) or too Spanish (likewise the soft cap that is peculiar to Spain) .  As for equipment, depends on how picky you are.  Russian partisan riflemen carry Moison Nagants - this works fine for any of the Easterners (who would have had easy access to ex-Tsarist equipment, and possibly even some German rifles), but German revolutionaries should be carrying Mausers.  Great Britain supplied some of the Baltics with some equipment, so some Lee Enfields wouldn't be too far adrift either (again, not something you would expect to find among German civilians).

The Freikorps did fight the Estonians. In fact the Bolshevik-Freikorps war was the low-level one (because the Reds bolted almost immediately) and the Estonian-Freikorps one the serious one.

However, the German based Freikorps and Baltic based Freikorps are quite different armies for quite different wars. The overlap is a few figures.

Hi there.

Here at Schelrtum Miniatures we're just about to release more figures for our Shattered Empires range which already includes armed civillians, Red Army of the Ruhr, Volkmarines and Sparticists.

New releases will include Industrial and Peasant Militia, troops in Russian tunics and others. The range is intended to cover the November Revolution and various Baltic Wars.

New vehicles are also being added.

The website is not fully up to date but if you want to contact my through a private email or through the website I can send you a PDF of the latest listings. Obviously the offer of the listings goes for anyone who wishes it.

The hope is that the figure will be available at Salute next week.

Once I get some of them back from the caster I'll try to post some photgraphs providing I don't get my figers trapped in the camera.......
