The first version of this post didn't crosspost, hence the re-posting.

As a massive fan of the Blackadder tv series and a 28mm gamer, I was pleasantly surprised whilst browsing The Assault Group's website for something completely unrelated to come across a familiar face.

Namely, Blackadder, Baldrick and Lord Percy in their Elizabethan incarnations. So, based on this and a vague recollection of a suitable version of WW1 Blackadder by Wargames Foundry, I did a little browsing and discovered that other incarnations of Blackadder do exist in 28mm form.

The original Black Adder, along with King Richard IV can be found as 'Eddy' and 'Lord Loud' under the Sword Miniatures section from Rogue Miniatures:

And the entire crew from Blackadder Goes Forth, including Captain Blackadder, George, Baldrick, Darling and General Melchett (and a drinks cabinet) can be found under the Great War British section from Scarab Miniatures.

So, I now need Cavalier, Regency, Roman, Victorian and Modern era Blackadders, to ensure I have a complete set, hence the crossposting, as these are eras I am unfamiliar with, gaming wise.

Do any TMPers have suggestions for suitable figures for the missing Blackadders?

The Lardies did Blackadder and Baldrick as a giveaway with early set of 'Through the Mud and the Blood' rules

Theye were quite tiny figures -I think I actually threw mine away!!!

Now those are just awesome! If I had a reason to buy 28mm figures, those'd be my choice :)

Okay, so not a great deal of assistance provided by you lot out there.

Possibly option for Regency Blackadder in his highwayman incarnation, as I'd forgotten he wore a domino style mask, rather than a kerchief covering his nose and mouth. Furthermore, the waistcoat is fancy enough, even if the cloak is slightly incorrect. And at £1.30 GBP for a 28mm, can't really complain…
