Hope someone can help.
Are there any 25mm plastic (so a bit chunkier/bigger than 1/72nd although 1/72nd would do the job)western figures out there which are very cheap. They can be toy bags or whatever. Looked at the 1815 Western stuff, really nice but £7.00 GBP for 13 cavalry. the reason i ask is because i wanted to do some play testing of some rules using 25/28/30mmm figures and only need the figures for short period of time (about 4 games). UK source would be great.


thank you

Lot of cheap stuff on eBay. Resell them there when you're done.

Martin, there are western figures from Airfix, Revell, Atlantic and Waterloo 1815, plus cheap clones of Airfix. Look at plasticsoldierreview.com

use your 15mm figures and change I chew to centimetres in the rules :)

Good ideas. Many of the plastic western figures are now out of production sadly. But i can persevere.
The idea i am pursuing is to test the western rules out in 25mm to make sure of the aesthetics. Because the game is gridded, no rule changes are needed except the grid size. I do however really like to check the aesthetic of games we make.

You're welcome to test my rules! Lee
