Hi Fellow TMPers, Does anyone know of a range of 25mm figures for the Russian Civil War? I am thinking of doing some HOTT in the trenches armies with an element of fantasy/sci fi such as land ironclads, flying ships etc.I'm thinking Moorcock here. The main consideration is that the figures need to be near to old school 25mm size. Any help appreciated. |

Nothing that I am aware of. 1/72 plastics are about the size of old school 25s. Battle Honors and Foundry are on the smaller end of 25s, but I believe even they are too big for what you are looking for. |

Copplestone towers over old school 25s. OP: Is there a reason you can't go with more modern sculpting/sizes? |

Hello The Battle Honours are fairly small but you might want to check. Maybe with scale creep some of the newer 20mm would fit in with old school 25mm. What are you trying to match them up with? Strelets are about the chunkiest 1/72 plastics. Maybe Irregular? Cheers GrumpyOldMan |

Thanks for the input guys. The reason I am looking at 25mm is because they would fit in with other HOTT armies.Copplestone Back of Beyond are fantastically evocative figures, but they would look very incompatable on 60mm stand perhaps. What I would like is something along the lines of old Ral Partha Colonial sized figures, so I can get a reasonable massed effect with the troops. I like the look of B and B figures. link They are here in the UK. but are billed as 20mm. Does anyone know how big/small they are? |

Hi Commentary on B and B here link They seem to be true 20mm. Comparison of Ral Partha with some plastics here link Cheers GrumpyOldMan |

B and B figs are great -quite chunky. Need more peaked caps in the line infantry pack though. |

Don't discount Strelets because they're chunky, they fit in very well with metals once painted. I also use HaT (WWI Russian Infantry and Heavy Weapons) and Orion (Red Cavalry and Basmachi). |
