I recently bought a batch of figures on Ebay, and it turns out they are by Tin Soldier. They are differently proportioned to other makers, and can't really be mixed with any range that I have seen from other makers. That being said I find they have a quirky charm and are certainly easy to handle and paint and at £2.00 GBP per pack are remarkably cheap by todays standards I'm seriously tempted to buy more and create an army with a bit of 'feel' to it. What do others think of them ? |

Agree the quirkiness and price point are attractive. Have assembled a Sucessor army for just those reasons. And they take a "DIP" very well. |

Always liked their fantasy figures – both 15 and 25mm. Did not realise they were still going though, so must browse them. |

I assembled a Ptolemaic army using Tin Soldier and was very happy with the results. More pics here on my Blog:

Oh, they are still going OK. The figures I need to turn my Ebay purchase into a DBA army arrived this morning |

I have not painted their figures yet but from what I've seen I have to agree with you. They have a certain "charm" to them. I own a few Punic cavalry. The figures seem big compared to Essex. I like them a lot though. |

I love Tin Soldier miniatures, they have wonderful aztecs, medievals, byzantines and other ranges. The company has never responded to one of my e-mails so I tend to buy figs elswhere when I can't get info from them. -Paul |

Hi Paul, not my experience at all, they responded quickly, sent me lovely figures and were very cheap. Did you order through TS UK? |

Really like their 15mm Gallic foot. Also, they were incredibly beyond-the-call-of-duty helpful when I dealt with them. Cheers,
