thoth19 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 So, I've gotten very interested in fantasy settings that have a eighteenth or nineteenth century feel, and I was wondering if people could recommend good miniatures, Reaper or otherwise. There's one thing I'm looking for in particular. I saw it at my local game store years ago. It was a pack of Orcs dressed in Napoleonic War uniforms, and I'm pretty sure it was part of a set that had other fantasy races in various Napoleonic garb. Anyway, any recommendations would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardOne Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 FlintLoque, I am sure what you saw was FlintLoque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoth19 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks for the link! That is indeed what I saw. It's a pretty weird concept, but definitely a cool one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaslater Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 More Renaissance, but close would be Foundry's Mercenary Ogres and Orcs. At least they've got firearms and look stylie!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Have a look at Gnome Wars: http://www.brigadegames.com/category/BGGAW.html and Seven Years Picnic: http://www.fighting15sshop.co.uk/seven-years-picnic-75-c.asp I have some of the bears (the pirates) and they are pretty nice. I have seen the gnomes and lusted after them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoth19 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions, there's a lot of cool stuff out there. @ Inarah: Do you know how large the Gnomes are? They look pretty big, but that might just be the way they're photographed. If they would look gnome-sized compared to 28mm figures I might have to get a few. I'm looking for figures to run a fantasy Napoleonic RPG, so I'd like them all to fit with each other on the table. The Seven Years' Picnic was pretty cool as well, though I wish they had actual guns/horses etc. It's a neat concept, but it wouldn't work for what I'm trying to do. Though I did look through Eureka's other stuff, and I fell in love with their 18th century musicians, which are on their way now. @joshuaslater: I also checked out the Foundry Mercenary Orcs, and they're wonderful. They have a sort of a Condittieri/Landsknecht feel to them that I really like. Not quite the right period, but hey, it's fantasy, I can stretch things a bit.

Inarah Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The gnomes are pretty good sized, 28mm at least. That is, they are as big as a Reaper 28mm human figure. So they would not be tiny little gnomes in comparison to other 28mm figures. But fantasy games let you mix things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoth19 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 That's true, fantasy is flexible that way, and those gnomes have a certain feel to them that I really like. So, I've been poking around on the Reaper site and I found a lot models that would fit with this setting. I thought I'd post what I've found in case anyone else has similar interests. I didn't include most of the Pirates because they're easy to find in the figure finder, and I tried to stick to things that could be pre-Victorian. 60033: Skinsaw Man 60036: Visbaronetess Delour Aulamaxa 50207: Krampus--This one doesn't really have a period "look" per say, but it's such a nice traditional European folktale monster that I thought it fit in spirit. Plus it's a pretty sweet mini. 02310: St Tarkus, Dire-dead 02391: Kimberlee the Fair 03342: Borley, Male Ghost 03211: Goblin Pirate and Powder Monkey 02861: Abram Duskwalker 02845: Townsfolk VI: Gravedigger & Henchman, not to mention a number of other Townsfolk sets that would work. 03241: Aroudj Firebeard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaslater Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Good list you've compiled there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoth19 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Eh, I had two options last night: I could either work on my thesis, or I could think about miniatures. I have no regrets. Also, I'm genetically predisposed to list-making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
