Figures

Need some figures for your Victorian/Edwardian game? I asked for some recommendations, and the combined might of the RPG industry and British wargaming fandom gave me quite a few...

• Wargames Foundry www.wargamesfoundry.com have armed civilian figures in their Old West range, and a "Victorian Civilian" range with unarmed figures. There are also figures for Darkest Africa.
• Old Glory www.oldgloryminiatures.com carry a large selection of Colonial War lines, from the Indian Mutiny to the Spanish-American War, as well as American Civil War and Old West. There are few civilians, concentrating more on Soldiers, but some Civil War Civilians are available.
• Black Tree www.black-tree-design.com/main.php?ctry=us&lng=gb have a Zulu War range.
• Eureka Minis www.eurekamin.com.au carry Colonial lines, as well as the Pax Limpopo Victorian SF range. There is a special "100 Club" which allows buyers to request specific figures, which will be made if there is enough demand. The Pax Limpopo range is also carried in the UK by Ground Zero Games www.gzg.com
• West Wind has a Gothic Horror range www.westwindproductions.co.uk/gothichorror/index.asp which includes a Jack the Ripper selection for London Bobbies & Victims.
• Steve Jackson Games www.sjgames.com/miniatures/gurps/ sell figures for their GURPS Steampunk setting.
• RAFM www.rafm.com has a line of Canandian West (Mounted Police, etc.) including civilians, and a Call of Cthulhu range that may be useful.
• Major General's Tremorden Rederring's Website zeitcom.com/majgen/index.html is a good starting place for Colonial miniatures, with links to manufacturers and other Colonial wargaming sites.
• Walt O'Hara mrnizz.tripod.com/victoriana.html has another site with links to manufacturers etc. for this period.

Finally, here is a brief listing of manufacturers and their ranges in various scales, originally compiled by Richard Brooks for Heliograph Inc. Details of these manufacturers are above or can be found by a web search or in specialist magazines.
