Period specific fantasy minis

[Liquid]

Does anyone make fantasy miniatures specifically for the "Pikes n Muskets" period? Something like what Flintloque does for Napoleonics - I'm thinking orcs in buff coats and lobster pots, elves with muskets and twirly moustaches, that sort of thing.

Not that I've ever found!

The Frostgrave fantasy plastic figures have arms that are compatible in fitting and size with the Warlord 17th C plastics, so doing up some gunpowder fantasy humans at least is not all that complicated.

You have to behead the Warlord plastics to use Frostgrave heads on them, mind you.

There's been various earlier Renaissance-styled fantasy figures out there - I recall seeing orcs in Elizabethan neck ruffs at one point in pewter - can't recall the manufacturer right now, tho...

For the Renaissance orcs, you are probably thinking of the Foundry line, now marketed as Warmonger miniatures. Great figures, and there are a lot of variants.  Here is a sample:

But, back to the original post - I am afraid I cannot think of anything.

Not exactly what you've asked for, and a pretty limited line, but Eureka has a line called 'Avalon Bleeding' which has fantasy figures for the British Civil Wars:

Not exactly orcs and elves, but faeries and gnomes, witches and cannibals.

Wargames Atlantic have a box of landsknecht ogres.
Is that the type of thing you were looking for?

Those are great, just a shame the line is so small!

A little too early for the period I'm looking for.

Eureka Miniatures has a small line called Avalon Bleeding that has some fantasy English Civil War figures:

Warmonger has a couple of their Revenant Elves dressed (sort of) in Elizabethan and 18th Century clothing:

What I would really like is some mid-17thC zombies (or skeletons).

Eureka has lovely Skellie pirates:

Fireforge do a zombie version of their folk rabble. Possibly a bit early, but I'm not sure how much peasants' fashions changed over the centuries

Reaper has some skeleton pirates as well

Thinking outside the box a bit here - would you consider kitbashing plastic kits?  Warlord Games has plastics for British Civil Wars/Thirty Years War, and there are orcs, elves, goblins, dwarves and more from Wargames Atlantic, North Star (Oathmark/Frostgrave), probably other places to find source figures as well.  Whatever you end up creating would certainly be unique!

-- edit -- If I'd taken the time to read other posts, I'd have seen that is precisely what Wirelizard recommended!

I'll definitely look into it. The Warlord plastics are a little monopose to be ideally suited for it though, here's hoping Wargames Atlantic put out a kit at some point that has compatibility with their other stuff (which has decent compatibility with Oathmark already)

The Assault Group purchased rights to White Knight's line of renaissance Dwarfs and Halflings (see links below - the Dwarf reiters on ponies are a delight).
White Knight, who one of the moderators of Lead Adventure, has an entire fantasy Renaissance line that he didn't sell to TAG, which includes Renaissance Goblins.
   This is a link to his blogsight, which has many pictures of his various figures, and if you look down the right margin, it has links to various other manufacturers fantasy renaissance figures.

The armoured chickens are hilarious, but again the clothing and kit is more early Renaissance poofy-slashing-and-feathers than the 17th C buff-coat-and-breeches look.

(also, hopefully they've gotten better, but the one and only time I ordered from TAG my order took three plus months to show up. Not weeks, months. Do not order from TAG if you're in any sort of hurry to field your purchases...)

Did some Orcs for my Elbstein Setting. Wargames Atlantic, Warlord, Oathmark Plastic. I#m not sure, if I like the results.
