I found some fairly inexpensive unpainted plastic British infantry from - 20 infantry for $15 US. Intended for battling Zulus these are going to very handy for my 1880s steampunk games. You can even find them discounted at places like The Warstore.



They are also coming out with Romans and Celts - the latter will be nice for a scenario I have planned that will involve painting a mess o' Celts in ghostly hues. In a world where magic happens it may not be the best idea to disturb an old barrow hill. The Romans are 48 infantry for $30.

I just ordered a box o' Brits - I will likely use them if I can ever get my Jewel in the Crown campaign arc started. (The Great Game between Russia and the British, with India as both board and prize.)

Scale? scale?
I'm more 28mm but these look smaller...

They are 28mm.. bought em.. hope there is no significant duty.

Yep, 28 mm. slightly smaller than some of the larger Reaper minis, and to scale with the earlier Reapers (there has been a bit of scale creep there).

The Auld Grump

The minis arrived today and well, they are a tad too small to use "as is" for my purposes, but I think they will be awesome for my Steampunk fantasy setting "Steam and Sword". I will need to add freaky ears and switch up the legs for satyr type legs and they will be awesome Dvarves for my setting. It's a nice find. IF my first Dvarf infantry works out I might be tempted to order more. I like that they are plastic. I wish I could find more closer to the larger scale I use most often.

A few TMPers are modding these to make an economical version of Imperial Guard Praetorians.
