Does someone know of a range of 15mm SYW pioneers, sappers, miners, engineers and/or the like ? |

Within the Old Glory SYW line, it is possible to find a pioneer within an infantry pack (Prussian or Austrian). I have made mine from extra artillerist and officers. A cart with tools is also a nice addition to your Engineer group. Cheers,

Without having to spend more for figures you don't need, I suggest the Minifigs engineers at work pack. They are bare headed, in pants and shirts with rolled up sleves. 4 poses times 3 each in a pack for $5.50. Good for anybody that…well, wears pants and rolls up their sleeves when they are hard at work! 8>) The number is here: link 15019052 Hope this helps. Tom Dye

Hmm, the Roundway list looks interesting, not only for the pioneers etc. Does someone know what these are like? (and do they sell in Europe?) |

I have purchased the Roundway figures. the ones I have are in a variety of poses, in shirt with hat, two figures with a connecting beam on their shoulders, one figure directing the work; mind you---that's off the top of my head. I am at the office, not at home looking at the figures. I was quite pleased. |

Excellent. These will find use for me. I too have done the convert from artilery men, but purpose built engineers will be just the thing. For those who do 40mm (like me) Doug at MSC has intimated that 40mm Engineers and Sappers will be joining the Trident AWI range. Why are the most useful types always the hardest to find? |

If you are UK-based, Museum Miniatures and Hallmark (the latter available via Mgister Militum) can provide you with a superb range of carts and wagons, including pontooons. |

I have Museum Miniatures siege engineers etc plus a few from a couple of other brands I cant remember. I'm very pleased with them, especially as there are a good variety of positions and types of tools in use. Wheel barrows, facines and even coats hanging on the handle of a shovel, make them a treat to paint up. Some have their sleeves rolled up and most are only wearing a shirt. They are a bit slighter in size than other 15mm but it really doesn't matter as my teams are all working together on the same bases. I always use them as the lead groups when doing siege of field works.
I liked them enough, that I have enough for three 12 figure battalions, one each with my Piemonte-Sardinian army, French and Austrians. The other figures are painted to correct nationalities to give an army specific look. I also have command groups for each nationality. I figure that if I'm going to do some sieges, I might as well do them right! |

An old post but are there now some 15mm SYW pioneers, sappers, miners, engineers and/or the like ? |

Resurrecting this post – looking for 15mm figures for siege figures. Miners, sappers, engineers, laborers etc.. Any decent figures out there? Thanks in advance! |

I just found some that might work with magister militum:

Aren't these the old halmark figures? |
