Quality Detail Medieval 28-32mm Scale
« on: June 10, 2013, 04:08:15 PM »
Hey Guys.

I'm looking for some really top of the line Mini's that are Medieval looking.

Think Knights of the round table, and full suit armour.

The thing I've seen lacking heaps is
A) the scale being in 15-25mm
and
B) The detail being really poor and clunky

I really like the look of the the Dark Sword "Game Of Thrones" Miniatures, but have very little range of variety and creating the miniatures.

Any suggestions for good detailed Medieval minis?

Got to be historically accurate or you just want em to look nice?

Reaper do loads of knights if you don't want too historically accurate

Perry have two (or three depending on how you look at it) very good ranges for the period where knights wear plate armour.

Perry Miniatures Agincourt to Orleans 1415-1429
http://www.perry-miniatures.com/index.php?cPath=23_36

Perry Miniatures "War of the Roses, 1455-1487" and "European Armies, 1450-1500"
I think this is what you will want.  The "men at arms" look like actors from the film Excalibur.
There are three sets in plastic which allows customisation.  Two more plastic sets are planned.

Steel Fist 15th Century knights
Matching the Perry 1450-1500 period are these knights from Steel Fist

I'm not fussed on historically accurate mini's. They can come from fantasy or history, as long as they are pretty nicely sculpted.

Might be a stretch, but has anyone found any multi-part Medieval/Fantasy knight miniatures?

Perry plastic WoTR figures would fit the bill.

As Keith said,
The Perry Mounted Men at Arms are a great multi part set

Foot versions will be out in about six months or so.
