Looking for Wolf Headdresses or Wolf Pelt Mantles.
« on: June 09, 2021, 11:32:30 PM »
Hey all, first post here, apologies if anything is out of format. I've been playing a bit of Lion Rampant as well as the PC game Battle Brothers, in which you lead a small medieval mercenary band. I've been wanting to create a small retinue based around the style of the game Battle Brothers. Namely, I've been looking for bits to represent some rare armor from the game because my green stuff skills aren't too great, specifically a Wolf Headdress as well as some armor with a Wolf Pelt Mantle. I've looked around a bit and couldn't find anything quite right, and I'd appreciate any insight. I've attached some pictures from the game, though they are a bit low resolution. :) 

I'm going to be using a lot of the 28mm Perry HYW line, so I'm looking for them to fit that scale. Thanks.

 Republican Roman velites are probably your best bet. I believe Victrix's come bundled with their legionaries, so you would need to buy about 60 figures to get the 15 or so velites, and I'm not sure if they all have wolf heads/pelts. Agema have velites on their own sprue, but I think there's only one wolf head and pelt per two figures. I think Agema are on the slighter side of 28mm plastics along with Perry, so I imagine they'd fit fairly well together. Victrix tend to be bulkier.

There may be fantasy stuff that fits the bill too, but nothing comes to mind.

The Victrix route seemed a bit expensive compared to the small amount of use I'd be getting out of it, however the Agema recommendation looks great, hadn't heard of the company before but the sprues look good and they're really affordable, I think they'll be perfect for the helmets and such, thank you.

Gripping Beast's Jomsviking range has several figures with wolfshead headgear, but (a) you need to buy a whole  pack and (b) they may be "too early" in clothing to match what you want.
