"Does anyone make 28mm French Musketeers " Topic

I'm looking for the classic French Musketeers in 28mm does anyone make them?

Redoubt Enterprises does.

THe REdoubt minis are very nice. I have them painted up, but they are quite large – more like 32mm

Blue Moon 28s does a fairly complete range-because of the integral bases these tend to be just a tad taller than the Brigade Games musketeers:

You can knock a mm or 2 off the thickness of the base w/ a file or sander.

Also, Warbases has a fairly complete rage of 28mm figures for the period based on the TV series rather than the various movies:

The TV musketeers tended heavily toward individual costumes with lots and lots of leather bits and pieces rather than the classic tabards. Even if you prefer the movie look for your musketeers, however, the Warbases figures could provide you with misc. henchmen, guards and various civilians.

Jon has already mentioned the Brigade games figures, which are very nice.

Also, Black Hat Miniatures, I believe, used to have a range of 25-28mm musketeers, but Back Hat sold off most of its miniature figure ranges and I don't know where these are now. The Black Hat figures aren't nearly as nice as the other ranges, but they did have a couple of henchmen with clubs which are useful.

The Brigade Games, Blue Moon, Black Hat and Warbases (I believe as I don't have any yet) are all, IMHO, roughly compatible with minor work (Blue Moon bases are a bit thick but that can be worked with).

The Redoubt sculpts are great, albeit, IMHO, can vary quite a bit depending on the quality of the molds. In any event, as Jon says, the Redoubt minis tower above the others.

Ral Partha, or whoever is making them now.

My understanding of the Redoubt range is that it was commissioned by a customer who already had some figures produced on the continent. These figures were larger than 28mm and, quite naturally, he wanted Redoubt's range to match. So the Redoubt figures were never intended to be 28mm. I bought the Redoubt figures when they first came out (so the moulds should not have degraded) and the big problem was that often the two halves of the heads did not align properly. In my opinion the heads were the main weakness of Redoubt figures at the time.

And let us not forget the "Iron Mask" range of Dumas-centric dwarves!

Thanks guys, I'm going to do a French force for Pikeman's Lament to fight the Spanish.

I own the Redoubt musketeers and Cardinals guards and love'em. Very nice figs but as already stated above, larger than the other ranges.

Have a look here:

Northstar has some in thei 1672 range

Warbases enriches its range of Hollywood musketeers in 28mm with four new sets.
