15mm Army Deals?

Probert · Post by **Probert** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 10:59 pm

I want to find out which manufacturers are producing basic FOG armies in 15mm scale and which distributors are selling them. I know about Old Glory 15s, and ordered an army from them. I was well satisfied but variety can be the spice of life. I also know Black Hat is selling armies here in the States through Scale Creep Miniatures.

Who else is doing these deals?

Thanks all.

Greetings. Splintered Light Miniatures is getting ready to have the Romano-British, Early Saxons, and Middle Saxons (early Saxon sculpts) available in starter boxes. Please feel free to email me at splinteredlightminis[at]earthlink[dot]net for more detail. The sets should be on the website around February 18. The Irish will be up once the figures are ready later this month.

I know Essex sells armies also.

I am sure most companies have them.

Thanks. So we have (in the US):

Old Glory 15s sold through 19th Century Miniatures (I have bought from here before and been satisfied)

Black Hat/Gladiator through Scale Creep ( I have some BH miniatures and they are good)

Splintered Light from Splintered Light (they look fantastic, but I have none ---yet)

Essex through ?????? in the US. The only Essex minis I own are some Carthaginians that only contained one pose per bag.

Khurasan through Kurasan ( I bought some of their Medieval Swedes and liked them. Smallish and thinner compared to my other minis but nice qulaity sculpts with great service).

Just to let you know, lately it has become cheaper to buy Essex direct from the UK. For example, a Mid Repub Roman Army is ~$100 + Shipping at Wargames and ~$76 including shipping from Essex UK. This is due to the exclusion of the VAT tax and a favorable exchange rate.

the information is tailored to UK suppliers but there is plenty of US information in there as well. I haven't seen a better listing of 15mm suppliers.
