15mm Ancients Miniatures Suppliers

(This page is a bit of a monster, as it has loads of photos, and voting buttons. To see a faster, picture-free page click here).

As well as rating all of the 15mm ancient miniatures suppliers, this site has similar pages for comparing and rating 15mm Renaissance figures and miniatures, 15mm Napoleonic miniatures, 28mm Renaissance suppliers, 20mm Modern metal figures , and 10mm ACW figures.

If you are looking for 15mm Greek, Roman, Persian, Medieval, Arab, Gallic, Byzantine, Catalan, Hungarian or Viking ancient wargames figures, you've come to the right place. This page has detail of the ranges carried by ALL the 15mm ancients suppliers I have managed to track down and find. For each supplier there is a comprehensive listing of the armies they have figures for, a guide to how they package their ancient figures (singles, packs of 8 etc), details on how you can order from them, a short review of their website, and a link to that site. The information on this site was pretty much correct when I created it, and I try to keep it updated but please check shipping rates and quantities yourself when ordering. if you see anything that needs changing, please tell me via the email link at the bottom of the page

The page also includes some of my own highly subjective review ratings which combine ratings of the figures and the website/order process of the companies. You can also rate any of the manufacturers - please do vote on those you have figures for as this helps other gamers decide what to buy.

The following pictures are just a random selection of the 2,500+ photos I have gathered in the 15mm Photo Directory - you can see a bigger version of any photo on this page just by clicking on it. Photos in the 15mm Photo Directory can all be rated individually, so you can rate any specific figure that's in there - and in so doing help other gamers decide whats best for them

If you have photos for any of the manufacturers that I don't (or if you ARE the manufacturer and would like to let me carry your photos on this site to help promote your figures) I can easily add YOUR photos to this page and the directory - just scroll down to the bottom of this page and email me from the address there and we discuss how best to do it.

NEW and IMPROVED - search all the suppliers websites on this page for the figures you want using this Customized Google Search tool. It's been enhanced (as of Feb 2013) and now works pretty well

Please don't rely on my opinions for your buying decisions - make up your own mind, but hopefully this page will give you some more choices !  

(Welcome to one of the busiest parts of Madaxeman.com)

If you collect Renaissance Miniatures there is also a similar page to this one for suppliers of 15mm Renaissance figures. It can be accessed via this link

The 15mm Figure Manufacturers Listings 

Essex Miniatures

• Essex have a vast range of 15mm figures in all periods, as well as a 25mm range too. I always think of Essex as the "baseline" for all other manufacturers - whatever army you are looking to buy Essex will have a figure range for it, and the decision you need to make is "can I find any manufacturer of figures I like better than those from Essex?" (or maybe "everyone will have these Essex figures - I want my stuff to look different as it will then give the impression that I have a personality of my own!"). IMO their figures are always to a good standard, take paint nicely but are sometimes accused of lacking a little in "personality" or animation. Very good consistency and compatibility throughout the entire range.
• Essex sells figures in packs of 8 foot or 4 mounted, usually with 2-3 variants per pack in the newer ranges. 
• The Essex website has - at last!! - had a long overdue upgrade and is now excellent throughout. There is a full listing of 15mm and 25mm figures, with a reasonably complete set of pictures of all the figures, either painted or in bare metal. 
• You can buy online using credit cards, and even now PAYPAL (HOORAH!!).
• Essex used to be known as Mikes Models way back in (ancient) history, and produced a very differently styled range. These "Mikes Models" figures are available on special order (at least the Renaissance ones), and there is even a whole special section on their website for them. They were much shorter and less anatomically correctly styled that the current ranges - but are still much loved by some collectors & gamers.
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 7.5/10, simply because they are always going to be good enough in every range and every figure, and they form benchmark for everyone else. All of MY ratings on this site are therefore "relative" to Essex being at 7.5. The ratings are mostly for figure design and execution, but have a smattering of other factors in there as well, just to make life more subjective!

Donnington

Donnington Figures

• Donnington have a large range of 15mm ancients figures which again cover most armies (Villanoval Italian, Samnites, Campanians, Lucians, Apulians, Etruscans, Hoplite Era Greeks, Macedonians & Successors, Ligurians, Republican Romans, Spanish, Carthaginians, Numidians, Celts & Galatians, Scythians, Marian Romans, Sivilians, Slave Revolt, Thracians, Natabeans, Early Imperial Romans, Parthians, Dacians, Sarmatians, Ancient Brits, Early Germans, Druids, Maccabean Jewish, Palmyrans, Middle & Late Romans, Carolingian & Merovingian Franks, Basques & Bretons, Arabs, Ottonians, Steppe Peoples, Ostrogoths, Slavs, Visigoths, Aquitanians, Lombards, Goths, Vandals, Sub Roman/Arthurian Brits, Huns, Nobades, Blemeye, Axumites, Sassanids, E Byzantines, Sarmacizing Goths, Anglo Saxons, Normans, Russians & Slavs, Byzantines & Easterners, Medieval Feudals & Crusaders, Mongols, Arabs, Turks & Andalusians, Ottomans, Roumanians, Timurids, Knights Hospitallers, WOTR, Continental English & Burgundians. The ranges have been developed over a number of years.
• The figures are the sort that look a bit simple in bare metal, but paint up really well. Usually a touch larger than Essex, and often a bit chunkier too
• Donnington - unusually - sell figures individually. 
• The Donnington website is now among the best out there and they have new pictures showing nicely painted examples of all the figures in all their ranges. It's also fully set up for online ordering with an integrated cart system. They also offer a painting service through sister company Ancient & Modern Army Supplies (who paint armies to order).
• The site takes credit cards and Paypal. The site is very well laid out, and generates an automatic confirmation email after your order - though it does take you to the shopping cart each and every time you select a figure, leaving you to navigate back manually - I suppose that's the price for the benefit of ordering individual figures! You may get a confirmation from Paypal from "D & J Ranasinghe Ltd".
• Early in 2009 Donnington created a new range, using a new sculptor, and branded "Donnington New Era". Initially these ranges cover 100YW, Swiss, Burgundians and Low Countries, now expanded to include Vikings & Norse Irish. The quality is significantly higher than the old ranges, and size-wise they are starting to struggle to mix with some of the smaller Essex ranges (which their medievals definately are).
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 7.5/10, some of the older figures let the rest of the range down a little, but the website is great and individual figure ordering is a big plus too. The Romans, Arabs, Mongols, Sassanids and some of the Dark ages stuff are very good, so watch what you buy (which is easy as the pictures are all posted on their website) - and they do "Dead Guys!".

New Era Donnington Figures

---

Black Hat Miniatures (previously Gladiator Games)

• A strong Biblical era lineup together with the usual Classic Era, Byzantine and medieval suspects - plus some Central Americans ! The range cover all eras of Egyptians, Hyksos & Cansanites, Mitanni, Syrians, Hittites, Sea Peoples & other enemies, Minoans & Myceneans, both Romans & Carthaginians for The Punic Wars, Indians, Alexandrian & Successors as well as earlier Hellenistics, Persians, Vikings, Saxons, Normans and various other generic dark ages types, Moslem, Byzantine, Mongol & Frankish armies for the Crusades, a Feudal range, Chin & Han Chinese, Asiatic Nomads, Goths, late Romans, a full set of Medievals, WOTR and Samurai. 
• Generally they are compatible with Essex for height, but different sculptors over the years mean some are quite chunky - the Biblicals are among my favorites, as they are chunky figures that look like they could so some serious smiting of enemies! 
• Not all the ranges are as chunky though - Black Hat's range also includes some Josef Ochmann-sculpted figures as well which are more normally proportioned. They were once sold as 'Historical Heroes' by Metal Magic in Germany, and there are shots of them here - most of the Hellenistic, Feudal, Chinese, Asiatic Nomad, Gothis & Late Roman ranges are these sculpts
  
• They also sell books, accessories and the (pretty good) Coat d'Arms paint range. Spears are generally cast in-hand although some shields are separate in the newer (biblical) ranges. All are cast in house. 
• They (unusually) sell in packs of 10 foot and 5 mounted - watch for this when comparing prices with other ranges!!
• The site has pictures of most if not all of the figure ranges, usually as unpainted figures. Navigation is excellent, with the full catalogue taxonomy visible on the left hand side of each page. They take Paypal and credit cards, and the site will - if you want - remember you with your own account.
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 6.5/10 for most, 9/10 for the newer Biblicals. Blocky older castings make some of the non-biblicals an acquired taste, but why go elsewhere for Egyptians or similar..?.

Old Glory 15's

Available direct from the US site, however Timecast can supply in the UK as well, sometimes on order

• A huge range of all the usual suspects from Biblical to Medieval again - like Essex, firmly in the "assume they have it" category. They also carry the "Rank & File" generic Middle Ages range,and the "Battle Honors" range covering Carthaginians, Greeks (Late Classical Era), Sassanids and Romans (Camillan/Caesarian).
• The figures are compatible with Essex, and many take a paint job excellently despite looking a little crude in the bare metal - with quite heavyweight spears for example cast in-hand - than some other manufacturers out there.
• Biblical ranges include Babylonian Empire, Hittites, Mycenaeans, New Assyrians Empire, New
  Kingdom Egyptians, Sea Peoples, Syrian City States,
• Classical Ranges incude Armenians, Carthaginians, Dacians, Early Germans, Early Sassanids, Franks/Later Germans, Gauls, Germans 1-4th Century, Hellenistic Greeks, Huns, Imperial Romans, Indians, Italian City States, Late Achaemenid Persians, Late Romans, Liby/Phoenicians, Lybians, Macedonians, Marian Romans, Nubians, Numidians, Palmyrans, Parthians, Picts, Republican Romans, Sarmatians, Saxons, Scots/Irish, Skythians, Spanish, Successor States, Thracians, Visigoths/Ostrogoths/Lombards/Vandals
• Medieval & Dark Ages ranges include Andalusian Arabs, Anglo-Saxons/Jutes, Arab Conquest, Arthurian Britons, Asiatic Horse Armies, Belisarian/Heraclian Byzantines, Byzantines 7-13th Century, Carolingians, Crusades (Holy Orders, Outremer Knights, Saracens & 3rd Crusade medievals) Mongols, Normans, Spanish Normans, Ottonians, Rus, Seljuk Turks, Slavs, Vikings, Hundred Years War, Medieval Russians plus the Rank & File generic medieval ranges
• They also do Captive Sets, DBM or DBA Camp Sets & some Generic Ancient Packs
• OG used to sell in packs of 50 foot and 16 mounted - with multiple poses per pack, but the numbers seem to have gone down to a more manageble 24 infantry now. 50 was a chunky number, so a good job they are among the cheapest on offer. They also have unit deals in FoG sizes.The Battle Honors ranges are 2 foot for $6.
• The US site is gradually adding pictures of unpainted packs for all the ranges (hoorah!). Ordering about 8 packs from the US recently I paid around $20 in postage, which is calculated at the end of the order process - shipping is claimed at 10-14 days from the US to elsewhere.  They take Paypal and credit cards
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 7.5/10. The American for "Essex Miniatures" in many ways, wallet-saving pricing and "always good enough" design more than makes up for the monster pack sizes.

Magister Militum 

Magister Militum Figures

• Huge range of 15mm, 28mm and 10mm figures as well as loads of other goodies (the site says 7,500 items!!). The 15mm range doesn't quite make it into the Medieval period, but is comprehensive before that. 
• Sumerians, Midianites, Bedouin, Canaanites, Syrians, Ugaritic, Nubians, Libyans, Hittites, Sea Peoples, Sargonid & Neo Assyrians, Lydians, Babylonians, Elamites, Kushites, New Kingdom Egypt, Saitic Egypt, Hebrews & Philistines, early Hebrews make up the Biblical Section. 
• Indians, Numidians, Hopliter Era Greeks, Macedonians, Thracians, Italians & Etruscans, Republican Romans, Celts, Gauls, Brits & other barbarians, Saratians, Carthaginians, Spanish,  Imperial & Marian Romans, Achemenid Persians, Middle & Late Romans, make up the Classical range, with Navigator also casting Imperial Romans, Numidians, Gauls & Celts and early Germans/generic barbarians.
• Armenians, Goths, Saxons, Visigoths, Huns Palmyrans, Parthians, Carolingian (Navigator) and Sub Roman Arthurian Brits fill out the Dark ages, and Arabs, Burmese, Han CHinese and Tibetans make up an eastern collection
• Many of the figures previously went under the name Chariot Miniatures, but they also sell other ranges including Navigator in 15mm, Perrin and GHQ in some of the smaller scales, and Howard Hues paints. Most if not all of the 15mm ranges are cast in house.
• Sold in packs of 8 infantry or 4 cavalry the figures are in the "Essex-compatible" size range, although some of the biblical era troops can appear a little on the undernourished side.
• The website is very good indeed, with pictures of many of the individual figures and very clear navigation (don't be put off if the range you are looking at doesn't have a picture on the front page of that section- the individual packs usually do). They take Paypal and credit cards. 
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 7/10 for the non-Navigator ranges. They do paint up well, but many of the old biblical era Chariot ranges always seemed a bit skinny and awkward to me, and I still can't shake the  prejudice, even though I like the hoplites. Almost gain an extra point for having such a good website and range of other stuff though!

Museum Miniatures

Museum Figures

• Museum sell 15mm & 28mm figures cast in a pewter-like metal. For Ancients gamers, the 15mm selection covers Alexandrians & Successors, Ancient Brits, Arab Conquest, Neo Assyrians, Bactrian Greeks, Byzantines, carthaginians, Chin Chou & Shang Chinese, Cilician Armenians, Crusaders (Early & Late), Egyptians, El Cid Era Dark Ages, Galatians & Gauls, Gladiators, Greek Hoplites, Indians, Ilkhanid Mongols, Islamic Persians, Khwarismians, Mamluks, 100YW French & English, WOTR, Welsh, Normans, Ottomans, Camillan Romans, Myceneans, Early & Middle Romans, seljuqs, Skythians, Thracians, Samurai & Vikings. 
• Sizing is usually bigger than Essex, especially on some of the newer ranges which veer towards the "18mm" end of the scale and can make some of the figures look a little lanky - but the website has a massive and good set of pics so you can decide for yourself easily enough. The dismounted knights are among my favorites, and are as good as full Essex-compatible.
• They sell in packs of 8 foot and 4 mounted, with many of the mounted coming as one piece castings of horse and rider. Swords, spears and shields are cast in hand, and all the ranges are designed and cast in house. There are a few variants in some packs, but where they exist they are not usually wildly different.
• The website has been re-vamped (and has lost the awful music - hoorah!). It has pictures of nearly all of the figures, usually painted, takes credit cards and generates an online confirmation email. Navigation is much improved with the figure codes and descriptions all shown on the same page, and an online cart that will take multiple orders from each page in one click. 
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 7/10. For me, only sliding below the Essex median of 7.5 on a couple of technicalities - slightly variable, slightly large sizes and a few odd poses in the ranges - but the website gives more than enough help to make sure you pick the right ones

Minifigs

•  A venerable range of 15mm ancients covering the standard of Greek & Rome, Egypt & Assyria and the Medieval period. Ranges include a Classical selection of Hoplite Greeks, Early & Late Achemenid Persians, Bactrians, Saka, the usual range of Thracian and similar mercenaries, Macedonians, Successors, Mid & Late Republican Romans, Carthaginians, Indians, various Legionaries, Cavalry and auxiiaup to the 5th Century, Byzantines, Germans, Goths, Franks, Ancient British & Gallic, Picts, Dacians, Sassanids, Armenians, Jewish, Spanish, Palmyran, Huns, Goths.
• In Biblical they have Egyptians and Assyrians, and in Medieval a Dark Ages range covering Normans, Byzantines, Carolingians, Ottonian Franks, Rus, Slavs, Arabs, Saxons, Asiatic Nomands such as Khazars, Magyars & Alans. Other Medieval ranges include Samurai, Tang Chinese, C12/13 generic Europeans, Crusaders, English, Welsh, Flemish, Spanish, Poles, Russians, Byzantines, as well as Arabs including Mamluks, Bedouin, Berbers, Ayyubids, Turks, Fatiminds, Grenadine & Andalusians, Mongols, Seljuks and Syrians. They also have a Early and a Late 100YW range, and a WOTR range, with figures for all sides in these combats.
• Minifigs have been around since before I was born (-ish) and some of the castings are starting to show their age. The lack of raised, dry-brushable/inkable detail on many of the figures looks very, very dated. A new improved website sees pictures on the increase throughout the site, with none for some ranges
• Supplied in the usual packs of 4 and 8 all cast with spears and shields in place, cast in the UK and also in the US.
• The site itself is great, with clear navigation and a simple shopping cart. Takes Paypal or credit cards.
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 5/10 - again the world has moved on since these figures were designed. They aren't "bad", but they are a little light on detail and character. If you have some already and need to bulk out a unit or two, or want some that are simple to paint up for an en-mass effect they may be for you. The 10mm WW2 armour is far better!
• Minifigs now also sell the Matchlock Miniatures ranges, which have one Dark Age range currently listed on their website with Saxon and Norman era figures. These are sold as singles for 35 pence each.

---

Irregular Miniatures

• Biblicals, Romans and enemies, Dark Ages & Medievals that can vary in quality but again paint up better than they generally look. Some I have had bought (Rus/Vikings) are larger than Essex-standard.
• The ranges cover Egyptians & Libyans, Mid Republican Romans, Indians, Thracians, Scythians, Hoplite and Hellenistic / Successor Greeks, Carthaginians, Spanish, Celts, Maccabean, Italian City States, Early & Late Persians, Marian Romans, Imperial Romans, Sassanids, Dacians, Germans, Parthians, Palmyrans, Late Romans, Sassanids, Vikings, Rus, Saxons, Byzantines, Khmer, Burmese, Tibetans, Koreans, Goths & Lombards, Normans, Samurai, Mongols, Sung Chinese, Arab Conquest, Berber, Khazar, Ayyubid Egyptian, Arab Empire, Andalusian, Ghuzz, Seljuk Turk, East Sudanese, Grenadine, Pechneg, West Sudanese, Abyssinian, Syrian, Ghaznavid, Cuman, Mamluk, Early Ottoman Turk, Fatmid Egyptian, Kwariziman, Mid and Late Ottoman Turk, Hungarian, Swiss, Pre Feudal Scots, Burgundian, Early Polish, Scots Common, 100 Years War French, 100 Year War English, Early Russian, Catalan Company, Later Polish, Medieval Spanish, War Of The Roses Yorkist, War Of The Roses Lancastrian, Prussian, Irish, Teutonic Order and Early/Late Crusaders

• They do also do a wide range of animals, which are excellent for populating your baggage camp!
• Figures are sold individually and are cast with weapons and shields in hand. There are some pictures on the website that will give you an indication of most ranges, using painted figures - but not the full range by any means.
• The site has a reasonable navigation system, with a main menu at the bottom. It however does not have any form of secure online ordering, and this really limits them to payment by cheque or phoned-in/faxed-in orders (unless you are mad enough to send your credit card details by email). 
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 4.5/10 for 15mm ancients figures as the world has moved on from when these many of ranges were first produced - and no online ordering??. Hide some in larger units for variety - and they do get extra marks for having single figure ordering - and the animals are good!

Xyston

• Xyston sell Thracians, Indians, Greek Hoplites, Bithinyans, Achemenid Persians, Kappadocians, Alexandrians & Successors and early Romans in a range of "Premium Quality" miniatures that are packed with character, variety and the sort of deeply and cleanly sculpted figures that grab the paint and ink off your table and smear it on themselves in a "Nigella Lawson does Painting a Wargaming Army" sort of way. But they seem to have decided to pack in all this wonderful detail by making the figures, well, bigger than 15mm - especially some of the newer Roman ranges with later product codes which allegedly climb towards 20mm if you believe the message boards. The site has pictures of unpainted figures for all the ranges. Even the Thracians - one of the earliest ranges I think - tower over the poor Corvus Belli Spaniards & Gauls they will be fighting alongside. 
• The usual 8 foot & 4 mounted per pack, with a variety of separate shields, and a huge amount of variety of poses in each pack. At least some of the packs of spearmen come without spears so you will need your own wire - and maybe even a drill to open out their hands as well. 
• The site is pretty good, but seems to have an odd navigation system that doesn't make it that easy to see exactly what ranges they have. It takes Paypal and credit cards.
• Xystons figures come without spears, and with hands you can easily drill out to make sure the spears do stick. If you've not got a drill here's a link to a Mini Drill Set from Amazon.co.uk and a hand-push drill and also a powered hobby drill both from Amazon.com.
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 9.5/10 - for the 15mm range only. The question is trying to work out which of them are actually 15mm.... 

---

Corvus Belli

• Vexilia now carry the FULL Corvus Belli range in the UK, after having initially started just with the 100YW ranges.
• Vexilia have got a full set of pics. Corvus Belli cover Marian & Imperial Rome and some related armies such as Spanish, Numidians, Kappadocians, Carthaginians as well as the well regarded 100YW range. The word on the street however is that CB are concentrating on commissioning new fantasy miniatures so the 15mm Ancients range may not be expanded in the foreseeable future. The figures are sold in packs of 8, with 6-8 variants per pack that are compatible with Essex in size but can be a small, very small touch more chubby and short - only because they have a more variety and character. Corvus Belli generally have separate shields but are cast with swords & javelins in hand.
• Vexilia have an excellent online cart service and you can pay with Paypal or credit card. Bear in mind that as the minis come from Spain they might occasionally be out of stock.
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 8.5/10 for Corvus Belli. Variety, detail and animation all excellent - shame the ranges aren't larger.

---

Vexilia

• Vexilia sell the beautiful Italian-produced Mirliton ranges of 15mm figures for the Swiss Burgindian Wars, Italian Condotta, Italian Commune Wars, Crusaders & Teutonics, Medieval Nevsky Russians, and Early Roman/Etruscans. They now also carry Corvus Belli's 100 complete ranges, Black Hat's 15mm East European Medievals and Baueda's Vikings, Emeshi and Ottomans, and also a range of East European/medieval Polish they commissioned themsevles. The Mirliton Teutons in particular are the figures to get for this army. They are marginally bigger than Essex, but not to the point of incompatibility. 
• Both ranges are sold in packs of 4 mounted or 8 foot.  They have separate spears and shields.
• The figures are close to Essex in height, but generally have more detail and look to be perhaps the most accurately proportioned of any manufacturer out there (most 15mm figures are a little chubbier and shorter than if real people were scaled down to 15mm). 
• The website has pictures of nearly all the figures - some painted, some not - and can take online orders using credit cards or Paypal. They are cast in Italy so can occasionally be out of stock.
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 9.5/10 for Mirliton figures. Like painting really small real people made out of metal - if only I could find some glue that kept shields on and kept swords and spears in their hands... (I haven't got any of the other ranges)

---

Sgt Major Miniatures

Venexia make a large (i.e. closer to 18mm) range of figures covering Ottoman Turks, Italian Wars and Biblical (Israelite, Philistine, New Kingdom Egypt and now Sea Peoples). There are also Romans in the pipeline

Vexillia used to carry the Venexia range in the UK, but the Venexia business has now been sold to US-based company Sgt Major Miniatures and they will be re-starting production in the latter part of 2012. It's not clear who if anyone will carry the ranges in the UK and Europe going forward, however Sgt Major's 20mm ranges are carried by Elheim

The Italian website had pictures of all the figures, but may not be around for long - as soon as the new manufacturer grinds into action this listing will be updated

---

Lancashire Games

• Big range of Biblical, classical and Medieval figures which can vary considerably in quality, but which are priced at the lower end of the scale as well - if you are looking to bulk out an army quickly, this is for you.
• Ranges include New Kingdom Egypt, Assyrians, Libyans, Elamites, Canaanite, Hittites, Sea Peoples, Nubians, Early Germans, Parthians, Celts & Brits, Sarmatians, Sassanids, Dacians, Mongols, Macedonians, Republican Romans, Marian Romans, Achemenid Persians, Imperial Romans, Late Romans, Carthaginians, Goths, Pre-Islamic Arabs, Normans, Saxons, Vikings, Generic Later Medievals & Samurai.
• They come packed in two sizes - packs of 10 foot or 4 mounted or in even better value Battle Packs of 60 foot or 24 mounted - with lots of variants in each pack. At shows they tend to sell only the packs of troops bagged up in much bigger quantities. The figures come cast with spears and shields, usually in a fairly soft metal.
• They have a brand new Joomla-based website, which currently doesn't seem to be photos on any of the pages. The online order form takes credit cards (but with essentially no security as of now!) and - like the Essex site - requires you to enter the figure codes and prices into a simple form, so you need to keep a track of what you want as you browse the site. The ranges are designed and cast in house
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 3/10 but still value for money. There are some (very) bright spots in the ranges (look at the Dervish swordsman in the pics below), but generally thy are in the "pile it high and paint it quick" territory. They are by no means poor or terrible figures, but there are simply many better ones out there - unless you are on a very tight budget, in which case Lancashire win hands down.  

---

Peter Pig

• Mostly a WW2 supplier (for which they are tremendous) Peter Pig have a small range of ancients covering Romans, Egytptians, WOTR armies (for their own Bloody Barons rules) Tuaregs, Parthians and Germans. They are nice figures, but the ancient ranges are a little small compared to the Essex standard (not sure about the WOTR stuff). Look out for the "Men Being Rude" pack!
• They come in packs of 8 foot and 4 mounted, all cast in a hard metal with shields and spears in place, with 2-3 variants in most packs. There are some pictures on the website, but by no means a complete set. 
• The website does what it needs to by listing all the figure codes, and having quite a few pictures. It has online ordering via a cart and takes Paypal or Credit Cards. All the ranges are designed and cast in house.
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : Much as I love the World of The Pig, it's 6/10 for the ancients mainly on size compatibility rather than design/casting - but the WOTR looks to be a bit bigger and so creeps up into the 8/10 category. The ancients are a small part of what PP do, and the WW2 stuff would be into the 9-9.5 territory for sure - but a small range of smallish figures that make it difficult to create a whole army. The only choice for Tuaregs however!  

---

LKM Direct

• The longtime home of the oft-overlooked Feudal Castings & Friekorps ranges of 15mm Ancients that covers Romans & Greeks, Vikings, WOTR & European Medievals as well as Auxumites and Aborigine warriors (!!). The castings can sometime seem to be a little under-detailed, depending on which range is chosen. They tend to have great personality figures as well
• Possibly in recognition of this, QRF are systematically planning to replace some of their older ranges - the Imperial Romans are the first to be done. Another reason to check the photos on their site!
• According to this announcement on TMP the Feudal castings ranges have now been sold to US-based company Sgt Major Miniatures and they will be re-starting production in the latter part of 2012. It's not clear which of the QRF ranges are affected and who if anyone will carry the ranges in the UK and Europe going forward, however Sgt Major's 20mm ranges are carried by Elheim
• Sold in packs of 8 foot and 4 mounted, with variants in most packs and there are many cast with separate spears and/or shields. They also sell bases and flags as well as other accessories.
• The website is good, with simple navigation, and pictures of nearly all the ranges - usually unpainted - that can be enlarged. The site uses Paypal for payment, and so also takes credit cards. 
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : Quality is almost too patchy to give a rating. Some (the Classical & Roman Generals for example) are excellent, but some are quite poor. Have a good look at the images on their website before ordering. Size-wise they are Essex-compatible. 

---

Alain Touller Figurines

• Small French-based manufacturer selling Romans, Gauls Scythians, Byzantines, Koreans, and medieval ranges (including some v. nice Spanish almugavars). They are very similar in size to Essex-standard, although some ranges are noticeably cruder than others. 
• The figures are sold individually and come cast with spears and shields in place. They are designed and cast in country and shipped from France.
• The site is in semi-translated French, but if you can't work out what a "Lancier lybien cote de maille" in the "Carthaginois" section is, there is probably no hope for you anyway. There are pictures of many - but not all - of the figures online. The site runs its payments and ordering through Paypal. Postage costs are clearly listed on the site. 
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 5/10 - an average score across the company as the range needs to be looked at on a figure-by-figure basis, as there are some real gems in there as well.

---

Tin Soldier

• A large range of Hellenistic, Ancient Italian States, Celtic (400-150BC), Spanish (Punic), Carthaginian, Republic Roman, Sub-Roman (Brits), Viking, Saxon, Norman, Byzantine, Rus, Slavic, Asiatic, Arab/Eastern Nations, Medieval, The Universal Soldier, Samurai, Aztecs, Conquistadores, Warriors of Abyssinia, Carolingian. Some of the ranges (medievals, and especially the Hellenistic Greeks & Indians) have a very distinctive style that in its extremes veers towards the cartoonish - which is not to everyone's tastes, but is definitely exactly right for some as well (the fat trumpeter in the Greek officer pack is fantastic!). These ranges do fit with Essex, but the chubby chaps will look a bit out of place.
• The figures are sold in the usual packs of 8 and 4. Shields and spears are cast in hand. They are all designed and cast by Tin Soldier.
• The site has just bee revamped and whilst it currently only has some overview pictures of complete ranges, I suspect more pics are coming soon.
• The good news is they now also have a bang up to date facility for online ordering - using SagePay for credit cards and Paypal
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 8/10 or 3/10 - you will either love the Greek & Indian figures and have to have them or laugh out loud at them. But don't assume the rest share their styling or you will miss out on some great pieces.

Two Dragons (by Caliver Books)

• Vikings & Rus, Samurai and Mid to Late Anglo-Saxons, Rus, Slav, Carolingian/Normans and Generic Armed Villagers and Townsfolk in a slightly "Battlefront WW2 figures" style. Huge variety in the range - but a very limited range of armies. The default choice for Samurai, and (to my mind) Normans, Vikings & Rus - wonderfully animated figures.
• Not entirely sure but I think they may be in the usual 8 & 4 packs - After a brief time with Dixon Miniatures (the original sculptors I think) they are now being sold by Caliver Books in the UK. All cast with shields and spears in place. The personality sets are especially well animated and put together. They know how to make nice Vikings, Normans and Samurai - but they also know how to charge for them as well.
• Madaxeman's Supplier Rating : 9/10 - why don't they do more?  Why are they not to everyone's tastes either...?

Lo Hobbi.t.Studio

• A niche manufacturer from Italy that a viewer of this site told me about

• The moulds for the Jacobite Miniatures ranges previously sold by Stronghold has now been acquired by a chap from the Wargames Association of Reading club. They are trading under the name Elite Wargames And Models, and are gradually working through the moulds they have to put the ranges back together. They have no website as yet, but one is probably coming - in the meantime they can be reached at elitewargamesmodels@gmail.com Email them for a list of the figures they have managed to work out what they are and put them into ranges based on what apparently was a set of unmarked moulds.
