Hey! Just thought I'd see if anyone knows of any current companies still going who sell good proxies. I'm aware of unreleased miniatures & Gripping beast, looking for other suggestions. |

Don't forget Conquest Games - they have some lovely Norman Knights both on foot and mounted - and a generic Medieval Archer set that would work for militia. http://www.conquest-games.co.uk/ |

Don't forget Perry Miniatures! The Perry brothers sculpted a lot of the original LOTR line. |

yeah, I'd throw in another recommendation for Red Box and Hasslefree miniatures. I mention the two, because Hasslefree is a UK reseller of Red Box (as Artemis Black's page). And the Red Box miniatures, especially the dwarves and "fantasy English" and "fantasy Norse" are well suited, scale wise, for LOTR. Whenever I get around to finishing up my LOTR collection, I will be using Red Box for various Rhovanion factions. Reaper I very much love, but I love them for D+D stuff, rather than LOTR. They tend to have more macho-posed, buxom-lassie type figures, as well as in a rather more "heroic" scale. Dark Sword miniatures sort of makes collector's figures in response to Reaper. One of the reasons I made a big shift in my minis collecting was realising that DS's main range were in a huge scale, way beyond LOTR. Their Jeff Grace sculpted Dwarf towers over LOTR dwarves. After getting a bunch I decided to focus on painting D+D minis instead. I also recommend Tom Meier's Thunderbolt Mountain figures. (Meier also sculpts a lot of figures for Dark Sword, and they are at a scale more compatible with LOTR metal miniatures) |

Better act quickly, I went to check out Thunderbolt mountain and it says the online store is closing on Dec. 25. |

And more bad news, Red Box will no longer be restocked at Hasslefree - the bad state of the pound meant the prices just had to keep increasing. Quite a few models are already no longer available. |

Post subject: | Re: Alternative "Generic" miniatures. |
oh man. that's rather too much bad news in a series of posts. I really need to win the lottery and buy all of Meier's Elves, Goblins and other fantasy characters for LOTR. I wonder if Dark Sword might be convinced to sell them from their site instead? |
