…actually the miniatures that Northstar picked up were originally made by Helion. The Baker Co. figures were something different. I too am curious about what happened to the Baker Co. too.. |

Curiously, Bruce Weigle, on his Grand Tactical Rules site, lists a number of manufacturers. Under Baker Company he states they market the figures originally produced in the 1990s by………….HELION! All getting a bit circular, isn't it? Mollinary |

I think they were called Helion at one point but they were indeed not the current Northstar 1866 range (sorry Nick but thanks!!). I'll post some pics when I get the chance as i picked some up on ebay a while back – a lot have separate heads you know. They did Prussians too as you might expect -quite slight figures and Foundry compatable. I then picked up another 90 or so, again on Ebay which are in the same positions but much chunkier but clearly the same style. Again pics to follow… |

Ha my mistake, I have both makes in my Army, Baker Coy had the original Helion Range before it became the new Helion Range that North Star now have! I recall chatting to the owner of Baker Coy at a show few years back, he was getting rid of the range, cannot remember what happened to them, Tally Ho! |

TMP link For comparison the two units rear centre with Black Crosses are Baker Coy, the rest Helion/North Star 1866 Tally Ho! |
