EDIT:
Just erased my initial post (the first two replies below refer to it. I have "Revenge Miniatures", not Renegade. Sorry for the mixup. While I have your attention… Anybody know anything about these "Revenge" figs? I have 2 packs of 30 figs. English Billmen and Flemish pike. They are 25mm to the eye, medium chunky and look good alongside Essex miniatures if just the tinyest bit smaller. I was impressed by the high number of sculpts and sculpt variations in the pack. The front of the card says "Revenge" and the back of the header card lists a company in Chicago called Emperor's Headquarters and Old Glory as the manufacturers. The pictures on the OG website aren't clear enough to show if these are currently sold under a different title. Help! |

Renegade never had Flemish Pike or English Billmen. EH was a retailer quite a while ago and long out of business. OG still exists so I suspect that you have OG product not Renegade Miniatures. And RN figs are large 28mm figures and are typically a lot larger than OG figures. |

Way back when, Old Glory had a line of Mid-evils that were marketed under a blue and red header card called Renegade Miniatures. Old Glory had different header cards for different time periods, there was one for the Ancients, Napoleonics, ACW, etc. Basically, many new companies don't take the time to check and see if a name they what is already being used or is very similar to the one that they want to use. |

Miniatureships,
My Renegade miniatures have a red and blue and yellow header card. |

Those sound like standard Old Glory 25mm. Also, and I'm probably missing something, but if the bag states Emperor's Headquarters and Old Glory why do you think they're from Revenge? |

Well, I just answered my own question. I ignored the name of the figs and plugged the pack number into the search engine at oldgloryminiatures.com (not the alternate "oldglory25s.com" website I had been at earlier) and got some results. The pictures are still mediocre, but clear enough to show that these are Old Glory miniatures that appear to have been rebranded "Revenge" for the "Emperor's Headquarters". |

Revenge was a name of a game that is still avaiable so the figures were marketed to go with that game.
Those exact same header cards are still used today.

I Still have a copy of Revenge in the Man Cave think I played it once many years ago seem to remember the rules being broadly similar to WRG 6th edition ancients.
