Hello All, I am having lots of fun painting up bands of 15mm miniatures for Frotsgrave and several dungeon crawl adventures. Generally, I have been happy with the breath and variety of 15mm fantasy available. Still there are a couple of gaps I wish to call out. Maybe some one here can point me in the right direction or a manufacturer can add some items onto the "next project" list. One can only ask and hope. 1. Western fantasy armored archers.
For a D&D campaign my search for a 15mm female, fighter, archer, in mail armor came out a bust. I am humbly requesting figures suitable for high fantasy setting that look more like a character adventurer than a soldier of Henry V's English army.

2. High fantasy city guard/militia
This one is harder to describe. Here I am hoping for troops suitable to the classic D&D style high fantasy but not something plucked from the annals of history. This request extends to swordsmen, halberdiers, and archers.
That is all I have for now. Thanks for reading. |

Totally agree on the need for city guard: I was just thinking about this yesterday! Splintered Light has one in their Warriors of Might pack (back row, second from right) but more would be good!

blacksoilbill A close match to that Splintred light warrior is Essex MID73 Light / Medium Billman and MID74 Heavy Billmen link link I still would want a step toward more fantasy and I would love a figure of Lagertha shooting a bow

Thanks, those do match pretty well. |

Ral Partha has some in their demonworld/blighthaven lines.
linkLots of other great figures in there too. Cheers,
Stroezie. |

Battle Valor have some great 15mm figs link I love these rangers! I do wish that they had mixed an occasional female figure in with the mix. |

You know… I never noticed, despite the sheer number of observations, that the Demonworld rangers had a scale armor. Learn something everyday. I did find one Archer/Ranger set in chainmail. The old Chariot miniatures line. I may have to explore the range further. link
Still wish they had one Lady among them. Thanks |

Crom's Anvil has just released a set of town guards, bit more of a Conan vibe but great for fantasy in general imo.

Stroezie. |

Splintered light's henchmen might be what you are looking for. |
| Louie N | 28 Jun 2018 10:22 p.m. PST |
I have multiple packs of SL Henchmen. They are awesome. But no female archer in mail. I ordered some female Elven warrior as proxies. |

Another great looking match for generic city guards are Khurasans new 14th century figures, especially the infantry packs at the very bottom of the list. |
shows the first step in creating a fantasy campaign using Warrior Heroes: Legends.
