"Realistic" thieves?

[Psychlic Bob]

I am looking for 28mm male and female thief figures that are in realistic poses and not in the "hooker" or assassin styles.
Late medieval/early renaissance period clothing. Civilians with knives would be good.

Foundry have a few but having to buy sets gets a little expensive.

I have these figures from Otherworld.

Yeah, Otherworld Miniatures makes really good thieves (you can get enough models for a whole warband).

Citadel used to make some nice thieves back in the 80's. You can still track them down on eBay. The two on the left of this picture came from this range:

Thanks for the suggestions MiS and J.

Are the Otherworld minis "heroic" 28mm?

I am always looking for old stuff on e-Bay it seems to go for silly money though.

Try Reaper and Iron wind metals.  Iron wind are mostly old 25mm but some are really nice.

I just meaured the Otherworld figures in the picture. 
All are measured from sole of foot to top of head.
The Cleric is 29mm
The Wizard is 30mm
The Assasin is a tall chap - he is 34 mm.
The Male Thief is bent over so difficul to judge.
The Female Thief is also about 30mm if she was stood straight up.

My Otherworld adventurers don't look out of place next to the old Citadel miniatures I also use. They're good chunky Kev Adams sculpts, and the females are nicely proportionate to the males, being slighter and marginally shorter.

Very nice but makes Reaper look medium priced.

Gracias,

Really? Otherworld human minis are £5. Reaper thieves are around that price too, if not more.

We clearly are looking at different thieves.

I think that the landed price of Reaper metals in the UK is more than Otherworld but the reverse is true for US customers.
I find this happens a lot.

I really like these myself...

ok they are called assassins but besides that they do the job for me...

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the links. Here in the UK, Reaper (metal) figures usually range between £5 and £8. Their Bones range is definitely more affordable, but I haven't seen them in the flesh, so I cannot rate the quality. Any feedback on that?

Thanks,

Joao

I have painted a few Bones figures. 
They are very good for large Monsters. 
For character figures, I think that I would still prefer metal.

Here are some Reaper Bones Monsters with metal Otherworld characers.

You might find a couple of figures here. We have a few left that would probably suit.
