Looking for 15mm Fantasy Musketeers
« on: November 17, 2010, 04:15:48 PM »
I'm getting into a fantasy/pirate/renaissance mood as of late, and I'm interested in 15mm fantasy figures armed with muskets, pistols and/or cannons. By "fantasy figures" I mean elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins and so on; finding humans with appropriate weapons is very easy by looking into historical ranges.

Help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the Flintloque line if you want 25/28mm figures. I don't know where you would find them in a 15mm line...

Flintloque looks great, but, unfortunately, it is 28mm and I use 15mm.

So far, the only relevant minis I could find in 15mm are various Dwarven Arquebusiers, such as from 15mm.co.uk and Chariot Miniatures. I can also use Miniature Figurines Renaissance figures or Peter Pig Pirates for the Humans. But I'm still looking for more varied 15mm dwarves, orcs, goblins and elves with 17th-century-esque firearms...

Pendraken do dwarves with blunderbuses and cannons. Although they are 10mm scale, they are comparable to 15mm ranges.
I don't know whether to be a good example or a horrible warning.

Kallistra have some that may help http://www.kallistra.co.uk in the Hordes & Heroes range

Dwarf shooters have a few guns


Ratmen shooters look like blunderbuss weapons


Ratmen muskets (with Santa hats)

I do not have an accurate size comparison but seam to remember these stack up against 15mm as I was looking at MM at the time.  Can anyone help with comparision shots?

Yes, I forgot about the Ratmen. Pendraken also does musketeer and blunderbus ratmen but as individual figures rather than the strips that Kallistra do.

Oh what a *** I am - I mentioned Magister and forgot the links

Forgot to mention the MM dwarf 'Ye hand gunners' http://www.magistermilitum.com/product.asp?numRecordPosition=4&P_ID=733&strPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=1164


Rats with hand guns http://www.magistermilitum.com/product.asp?numRecordPosition=10&P_ID=697&strPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=1170


This time the images where from Magister Militum but still used without permission!

Magister Militum are also considering a meerkat army, or possibly a mongoose horde, so it might be worth dropping them a line.

To be honest, just play flintloque. You only need a handful of miniatures.

However, the excercise of finding them in 15mm might be quite interesting/fun.

Does anyone know of 15mm Goblin (or Orc or Kobold) Musketeers or Cannons? At worst I'll make do with crossbows or even bows...

Splintered Light http://www.splinteredlightminis.com/goblinoids.html have a Kobold Ranger with a bow - not sure if you can get just the bow armed one but worth asking.

They also have Goblins with bows - not quite Orcs but close-ish  ???

But those are just the ancient ones.
They are looking at 7YW/Napoleonic ones too
