I need a couple of packs of Ancient British or Celtic chiefs, in 15mm, ideally including a Boudicca and a druid. Can anyone recommend a good range? Thanks, Simon |

Corvus Belli has warrior queen in chariot. They must have some good command sets too. Very nice figures too. I highly recommend them. |

Donnington originals Gallic/Celtic range is first rate and QRF's new range is very good too. The latter wont do you a Boudicca though. Donnington have the only Druids I know of. |

Splintered Light has a Dark Ages range, the Romano-Britons, Scots-Irish, and Picts could give you what you want, one of the personality packs has a druid (or close enough). Not sure about Boudicca. |

I like the Corvus Belli Boudicca. Does anyone know what a Druid looked like? Chariot has a 'Druid' I think (but how can you tell?) … I think Richard Lockwood did an analysis of all these Celtic/British types for Slingshot a while back (you are bound to have a contact for him, Simon … ) … Phil Ancients on the Move |

I have used the RPE Demonworld figures for my 15mm collections and the following set would do adequately for a Boudicca and Druid. link The chariot can be bought from the Gallic list offered by Old Glory UK.
Cheers, Robert |

"Does anyone know what a Druid looked like?" A very good point. Most of the time the would look like upper class Celts because that's what they were. Mind you John James who knew a thing or two went for the white robe and Mistleto which is the popular idea of a Druid. |

Corvus Belli look good, but seem to be mostly out of production; a pity! Thanks Phil, I'll pick Richard's brains. And pick though the lead mountain… |

I'm going to be adding to my 28mm British army, but I wanted some 15mm minis to use as markers on a campaign map. Swampster has very kindly donated a Boudicca, which will be a great start! |

Can I add War and Empire Ancients range with Westwind Productions to this list. Outstanding sculpts. Link to the Generals Command packs: link |

Viking Forge (Old Asgard Range) has a "Chieftain" looking figure; IIRC, even had the horned helmet. Yes, just checked the only picture I have; Love the new 21st Century Technology. |
