Hello everyone Someone knows it if there exists in the trade, figurines of 25/30 mm representing the characters of the 2004 American epic period war film "Troy" written by David Benioff and directed by Wolfgang Petersen with Brad Pitt. Or, who resembles them strangely … Thank you |

Well, that's when Schliemann dug it up……. Redoubt's 28mm range is very similar to the armor etc in the movie. They have a nice large range which can be purchased individually. However they are not strictly speaking "portrait figures", some are eerily similar. Menelaus for one. |

Yes but I want strictly "portrait figures" or almost … otherwise it's less fun … |

Wargames Foundry does a few sets that are very much inspired by the movie, and their historical range is top notcj. Here is some of what I have done, Paris and Priam are from the Foundry, Achilles from Bronze Age Miniatures, all should fit your bill:

Can be Achilles from wargames foundry, it would be necessary to compare it with photographs of the film. |

Search the Foundry website for the pack, "Legendary Greek Warriors (WG405)." I think that will come pretty close, especially for Axilleus. I believe the complimentary pack for the Trojan princes and Priam to fill the bill for you is "The Warriors Priam Hector Paris and Guards (WG406)." |

Yes, I saw this thanks … By far the Legendary Greek Warriors (WG405) resemble the characters of the film, but not at 800% … Too bad, I will make it because no figurines exactly resemble the original model … by cons the Warriors Priam Hector Paris and Guards (WG406) it's not Hollywood. However, it seems that the Redoubt figurines were copied from Peter Connolly's book 'The Ancient Greece of Odysseus' …
This is nice … |

Yes Come In Nighthawk but there are also Relic Miniatures, but the Green Stuff is going to have to be used … |

Ah I forgot, at the same time,if anyone knows where to find the Redoubt Trojan horse in picture on the GrandManner site, let me know via a personal message, thank you. |

Relic only seems to sell "specialty," that is, character figures, not a variety of "warrior" figures, like Foundry or Redoubt. |
| Paskal | 23 Sep 2017 8:33 a.m. PST |
Yes but they are interesting… |

Merely making an observation -- for those of us looking for "warriors" for games like SAGA, or larger-still, like "Hail Caesar!" Not a criticism!!! Indeed, have been thinking about getting a few of the Relic figures myself, to use as "Leaders" and "Chieftains!" |

The Trojan Horse is back up on Grand manner's website. Some painted ones available as well. |

Relic figures to use as Iliad hero, me too this is what I do. |

@ OneHuaiTicket… What figure did you use for "Briseis?" |
| Paskal | 30 Oct 2017 6:48 a.m. PST |
Any figurine of Mycenaean or Minoan woman shirtless will do the trick. |
