For those of you who like Dixon figures, which line do you buy the most of?

For myself, it's the Old West, but I also have some of the Indian Wars and will get some ACW for plains/Southwest cavalry. I don't really care for the cavalry in the Indian Wars line – though I will get some of them.

Greylegion31 Jan 2012 11:18 a.m. PST

ACW. I love'em!

Old West

Old West.
Then the French and Indian Wars.

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP31 Jan 2012 12:02 p.m. PST

Seven Years War

Followed by Samurai

Doc Ord31 Jan 2012 12:48 p.m. PST

I like the 1801,Egypt range and also the Alamo range. The ACW can be odd but have lots of detail and are easy to paint.

cavcrazy31 Jan 2012 1:15 p.m. PST

I have the cavalry and Plains Indians, as well as a bunch of western gunfighters and townsfolk, I also have a few wagons, the Dixon stagecoach is beautiful.

abelp0131 Jan 2012 1:16 p.m. PST

I'm with cavcrazy.

JeffGrein31 Jan 2012 2:23 p.m. PST

My ACW armies are all Dixon. I love those figures. Yes, some do have some odd dimensions but I think almost any figure line could be said to have some quirks. These were great figures back in the early 90s and have continued to be a fine example of figures with crisp detail that are easy to paint.

The Red Baron31 Jan 2012 3:36 p.m. PST

Old West for me too, theyre not the best that i have in that genre, but they are very characterful, have a good range and cheap too

Wolf Warrior31 Jan 2012 3:56 p.m. PST

ACW followed by Plains Wars for me the figures are full of character and the ACW range has been added to over the years offering me ever more painting opportunities

dBerczerk31 Jan 2012 4:07 p.m. PST

Dixon's line of American War of Independence (AWI) figures are excellent, especially when painted.

warren bruhn31 Jan 2012 4:57 p.m. PST

War of the League of Augsburg, aka War of the Grand Alliance (also with Monmouth's rebellion).

Marlborough.

ACW ECW 7YW marlburian's Just wish somebody stateside would start carrying them again

scarlinosr131 Jan 2012 7:26 p.m. PST

Anybody have any Dixon horses(for the ACW/wild west) or know where to get them? I'm in the USA!!! Thanks, Sal Sr out!!!

Sundance31 Jan 2012 9:10 p.m. PST

Unfortunately, Sal, no one in the US stocks Dixon anymore. You have to order direct from the UK.

Bloody6th31 Jan 2012 9:13 p.m. PST

ive been buying mine from Sprit Games there over the pond but they don't charge the arm and a leg, that Dixon expects for there shipping

bracken01 Feb 2012 4:18 a.m. PST

Dixon! Ermmm acw, acw and of course acw! Ok gotta admit acw top of the list followed by oldwest, smattering of ww2 20mm mainly tank crew type figures and a couple of motar crews. I like the look of there 28mm ww2 range but not really enough of a range yet but it is expanding so who knows!

Warlord01 Feb 2012 9:50 a.m. PST

I have a bunch of their ACW range, I really like their miniatures!

@scarlinosr1 – Their horses as one has already said are no longer for sale in the U.S. I purchased a bunch of the Cav and I used different horses which I had to make my own saddles for them, I could maybe get you some of those horses – how many do you need?

Altius01 Feb 2012 10:58 a.m. PST

I have a bunch of their Mexicans, as well as some of the Old West range.

DucDeGueldres01 Feb 2012 11:23 a.m. PST

I still add figures to my growing 1690's army from their League of Augsburg range, alongside newer ones like Warfare Miniatures.

Catoctinmike01 Feb 2012 1:50 p.m. PST

Really like the Nine Year war/Marlborough range. Cleanest castes around. Also like the 7 years war range. They paint up very nice. Many of the Nine Years war figures on the LOA website are Dixon's mixed with some foundry. The French General and Mounted officer are great figures as well.

Indian Mutiny – in 15 mm!!!

donlowry04 Feb 2012 11:31 a.m. PST

Never heard of them. Do they make any WW2 stuff in 20mm?

Ross Mcpharter04 Feb 2012 12:25 p.m. PST

Yes and very nice for their time but just not comprehensive enough

scarlinosr104 Feb 2012 5:23 p.m. PST

I just placed an order with Spirit Games for Dixon horses. ACW/Old West. If anybody else has any horses please see above for my email address, thank you, Sal Sr out!!! 25-28MM

Samurai obviously.

I think that they were some of the very first miniatures I ever saw. I love the stylised little chaps. I've a small box full that when I have time will do for some skirmish gaming.

scara310 Feb 2012 7:04 a.m. PST

I'm interested in the Dahomey range. Has anyone here have any comments on that range? TIA

Lowtardog13 Feb 2012 5:27 a.m. PST

Dahomey range are OK early Mike Owen Sculpts so slightly smaller than his current range ( a little cruder too) but fit in with Foundry and Copplestone darkest Africa Ok
