War of the Roses/Towton large scale figs?

[JasonB]

The War of the Roses is far outside my knowledge base, but I would kinda like to do a vignette of the Battle of Towton, so... what are the available figures 75mm or larger that are available that would be appropriate? I found a couple of 75mm by Medieval Forge that seem nice, but if possible, I would like to find some "in action", fighting figures. Anything out there? Resin preferred, and the the smallest size would be 75mm, though the larger the better. Thanks!

I see something like this in 54mm

Have a look at Medieval Forge for 75mm
https://medievalforge.pythonanywhere.com/catalog/75mm
Any medieval from 15cent will do, just see the force in presence and their heraldry for 54mm or 75mm Altores Studio

This site shows you the development of armour etc in a series of charts:-

When you look at what's available, you can decide whether it would fit into your time period.
Your most likely companies will be Altores Studio, Medieval Forge Miniatures, Mercury Models, Tartar Miniatures and Tin Berlin (all are stocked by El Greco Miniatures, so you can look at them at one site).

Cheers,
Andrew

As said anything from that period will do, just be wary of mixing figures from different makers as 75mm is not always 75mm when matched against each other.

But not everyone was the same height Steve, so differences in the same scale would reflect that.

Agreed but I've some 75s that are nearer 90mm and some nearer 54mm they will never look right together, especially when their weapons are to suit.

I think I found what I am looking for, unless someone sees something about it that would not be appropriate for Towton/War of the Roses:

Depending on how comfortable you are with articulating and slightly modifying plastic figures a very convincing scene can be produced using IMEX / IMAI 1.:12 Knights series figures.

Those are fantastic.
This whole stream has been really interesting. And likely to get expensive.
Thanks for raising the question.

Incidentally - I live near Towton battlefield and shoot there each month with the Palm Sunday Archers.
A really nice bunch of people.

IL Miniatures is a great website.
Hopefully it's not too difficult getting items over the Brexit entrenchments.

This is available for the same price direct from Legion Miniatures. Might be worth seeing who offers the best shipping rates.

Hi Jason,
There are some 15th century knights here that may be suitable in 75mm or can be converted.
cheers

Pete Armstrong of Border Miniatures used to do some 80mm War of the Roses figures, but I do not think he is producing them any more.
