"Blackadder proxies?" Topic

I've placed my order with Perry Miniatures for the Return of the King figure. In between checking my mailbox every five minutes, I started considering the folly of my actions: I don't have any other figures from 400 years before or after the War of the Roses, so this might be the start of a new obsession for me…

My first need would be for Richard's nephew Edmund, also known as the Black Adder – thinking a 15th Century noble with a bad bowl haircut, oversized codpiece and pointy shoes. Also might need a dung-covered dogsbody/servant. Can anyone help out with a figure recommendation?

But why stop in the 15th Century? How about an Elizabethan courtier, with curly hair, a goatee and a ruff?

A Regency era Butler?

A Victorian gentleman?

And finally, a space warlord, either in full war panoply or, alternately, in his servant's posing pouch?

Any advice appreciated!

Try Rogue Miniatures:

TAG are bringing some out too, I believe.

Thanks for that Earther, Just ordered some figs from them based on your recommendation!!!

Some great ideas there, Earther, thanks!

Oh, most excellent!

IIRC, Toofatlardies did a WWI version as a promo piece.

Grenadier had a prince from their fantasy colelction that has the bob hair cut and arms crossed.

What a cunning plan!

Minifigs had a mounted WoTR figure in armor with the Bowl haircut.

I've thought about doing an Elizabethan tavern brawl scenario with Blackadder, Marlowe, Shakespeare & his "Dark Lady" taking part, & for Blacky I'd use a Foundry Swashbuckler: Squire Edwards from pack SB022 "Squire Edwards'Swashbucklers". He's in a dueling pose, but IMO Queenie's Edmund was the butchest of the bunch.
