Hello. I知 starting a new major project as my most recent ones are wrapping up after several years of effort. My project is an urban (London) board for playing a number of different skirmish rules. I知 planning on using Sarissa buildings for the majority of the structures, but I知 still looking at options for civilians and especially for street lamps, trade stalls, park benches, etc. Can anyone recommend such. I am familiar with Foundry痴 line of Victorians
25mm-27mm: If you like the Foundry size of Victorians then the Dixon Wild West range have many civilians that fit, including workmen loading barrels, piano players, paperboys, urchins shopkeepers, society ladies etc. You may want to swap some of the western hats for bowlers and top hats and then they will work great. Depot battalion (Colonel Bill's) has two sets of Victorian prostitutes that are the same size as the Dixon/Foundry.
28mm-31mm :If you want bigger figures Eureka do some Victorian civilians and a few figures in the Pax Limpopo range might be useful.
Ironclad: Civilians, thugs and policemen,
Blue Moon do some spread around various sets.
Black Pyramid are also worth checking out.
Redoubt ACW range has a few for the 1860 period, but of course if you are doing the 1880s the crinolines are totally wrong.
For poor street urchins and East End dwellers dressed in rags then the Redoubt Pirates range (drunks in shirtsleeves and powder monkeys ) and the Redoubt 18th century civilian ranges work for the females. They also do a pack of mid-Victorian Bobbies
Perry do some civilian rioters buried in their ranges somewhere
North Star does the Brick Lane commune.
Warbases do a hansom cab , figures are OK .
I have been watching the "Dracula's America" range hopefully for figures suitable for Victorian civilians, but so far they have disappointed me.
Hope this helps.
