"Best 15mm medieval human fantasy miniatures? " Topic

If there are any out there. Im completely oblivious, hence the poll!

Does medieval include dark ages?

And what does "fantasy" mean with respect to humans?

Splintered Light's humans have historical prototypes: Arthurian Romano-British, early Saxons, Picts, etc. And the Robin Hood line.

But every thread you make these days is phrased as a question and crossposted to "poll suggestions". Looking to make bigtime on the free memberships?

The Ral Partha 15mm mounted and dismounted princess in plate armour was always a set that I liked.

Black Raven Foundry human Rangers were good but nothing special. Their humans in the Generals and Wizards packs were very good.

Sorry Doc I love the Splintered Light guys but I do not regard Dark Ages as Medeival. Though the personalities will work for less civilized groups.

So, plate armor but not chainmail? But what makes them FANTASY?

I use Old Glory a lot. Their dark age and early medieval line work pretty well. oldglory15s.com/catalog

Legio Heroica makes some great medieval armies and fit very well with the Old Glory link

I prefer real historical ranges compared to the silly armor you get with fantasy ranges. I wished the armor on fantasy races was just as historical looking, instead of the funny looking shields and pointy armor.

Lol, I make a healthy living. I could care less about the TMP "membership fees". I consider it a privilege to be a member here and I will gladly pay the right to do so when Bill requires me to do so. I just do the Polls for my own interest/knowledge expansion or pure fun.

@Doc Mcb good question as to what makes something human fantasy different from human historical medieval. I guess I was looking for some human figures in 15mm that were along the lines of the LOTR movies that were inspired by historical periods but fit no actual historical races/ countries.

Here is another line of "fantasy" human minis (albeit in 28mm) that are the kind I am talking about but looking for in 15mm:

Hope those give you a better idea of what I was looking for as opposed to just generic dark ages or medieval minis painted differently to be "fantasy" troops.

@Doug Red Shirt, yes, I prefer historical a million times over anything fantasy but between the LOTR films, Game of Thrones on HBO, and having played "Empire of the Petal Thorne" as a kid (which has recently been revived), I have a hunger to paint up and play some non-traditional mini wars.

Thanks!

I understand the desire for something exotic in how the troops looked. I remember when I was trying to find figures to do LOTR in 15mm going more off the books then what Jackson did. To be honest I really didnt like how the armor turned out in the movie.
