Late Medieval Fancy Civilians?
« on: July 22, 2020, 07:54:36 PM »
Hi!

This might be a bit of an odd one, but does anyone know if there are any manufacturers of 28mm scale 15th century civilians who are more 'fancy' like nobles, merchants and such, or 'non-combat' knights?

There seem to be a few civilians available for the era, but most of them are peasants and labourers

This sort of thing, with houppelandes, big floppy sleeves, and such:

I haven't looked at them for years so can't remember even what century the sculpts were based on but Mirliton do a series of vignettes that you might want to lok at:

Sadly lacking but a few figs from mirilton, front rank, and old glory, and shadow forge  (not sure if they are available now as Neil has passed, but bits of his ranges are available at Eureka miniatures)

Cheers
Matt

In the Perry WotR Range, the Lancastrian command pack contains a figure of Henry VI in civilian clother. The other figures in the pack have armour and weapons, though several of them have hats instead of helmets, and one has robes over the armour.

There is also a mounted version of Henry VI with Margaret of Anjou:

Some of the artillery packs in that range also contain master gunners in pretty rich looking civilian dress, though having artillery equipment in one hand would require a bit of conversion. It may be worth looking for gun crews in other ranges too, especially ones that are sold separate from the guns.

Finally, some Italian clergy in expensive looking robes:

Matt,  Neil was alive two days ago when he sent me an e-mail. Plus I believe we have all his ranges, though I admit I was unaware of any medieval civilians. Can you post a picture or any other info about them and I'll check with Neil.

Thanks for the pointers everyone!

Silly question but how do the Mirliton figures scale up to the Perry ranges?

And do look at Simon "Je Le Empirins" excellent conversions including his paymaster - most are  Perrys I think. I think  he captures civilian  clothing and non-combatants well.
