Looking for a druid figure in non-heroic 28mm
« on: February 06, 2014, 11:07:49 AM »
Hi everyone,
 
I’m building some small forces for generic fantasy skirmishes. So far I’ve mostly been using GW’s LotR figures and some plastic historicals, so I’ve been trying to find ranges that match these minis, which are much more finely proportioned than GW’s other ‘heroic 28mm’ offerings.
 
At the moment I’m building a wood-elf/defenders of the forest kind of warband, and I need a druid/sorceress type to lead them. Can anyone suggest a suitable figure in non-heroic 28mm? More broadly, are than any good ranges of fantasy figures in this scale that would match up well to historicals and GW’s LoTR figures?

I've had a look at Thunderbolt Mountain and Otherworld, but neither have what I'm looking for. I did find this old grenadier sculpt on em-4, but not sure how it would scale up: http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Druids.html
 
Cheers,
 
Andrew

Try dark sword miniatures , sorry I can't hyperlink on my phone, they do a lot of non heroic 28mm fantasy characters so they will likely have something suitable :)

The EM4 would work better than the Darksword ones. Darksword minis are BIG compared to GW LotR.

Iron Wind aka Ral Partha have a couple of candidates in their Magic Users listing:

Tre's stuff from Red Box Games come to mind, they're sensibly scaled and seem to line up well enough with the lotr stuff

Warlord Games do a pack of funky looking druids in their Hail Caesar range. The one with the antlers and his lad out might work for you...

Ral Partha did a 3-stage Druid that is excellent. Not an elf, but very cool, and the right scale.

I'd third Red Box.  I don't know exactly what type of druid look you're going for, but Astrid of the Stones is maybe my favorite female miniature ever.

Thank you all for the suggestions - those red box games figs are lovely, Astrid especially. Looks like I might have to add a few to the painting queue :)

If you're using GW LOTR stuff, have you consdiered the first Radagast the Brown figure?

LazarusKing - when I first read your post, I had a horrible vision of Peter Jackson's interpretation of Radagast from the Hobbit movies, but that mini is quite nice - will add it to to the list.

I was surprised to discover that the druid in Northstar's 'Celtic Legends' pack for Of Gods and Mortals is quite small and sizes pretty well with Lord of the Rings, and is a cracking model to boot.



Unfortunately, it is only available as part of the set: http://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?man=159&page=1
