"Life was tough in 17th Century England, if you did manage to survive childhood you could look forward to another thirty to forty years of drudgery and toil provided of course that you managed to avoid the plague! It is no surprise then that the arrival of a Plague Doctor to your hamlet was seldom seen as a good omen. A portent of imminent death the plague doctors were physicians who tried to bring some comfort to those inflicted with very little hope of success…"

Very nice, but it's a dang shame the Wargames Foundry miniatures line that includes the Plague Doctors is OOP.

They were nice figures. I thought they were OOP. He did a good job with them.

What figs would be good to use as proxies for the bodies? It would be easy enough to do the masks out of greenstuff and you'd be set.

They're not OOP guys they have just been moved to Foundry's Flyte of Fantasy ebay store. Which is a dumping ground for loads of old Foundry stuff not deemed good enough to be a main line. Link to them below.

Thanks Rupert. Unfortunately, a single pack plus shipping will run you over $30 USD to the US.

79thPA@ yeah totally get that. Despite Foundry basically deciding all those ranges aren't good enough for their main site they still charge some pretty steep prices, even in good old pounds sterling, and postage overseas is always a killer.
