goes to sea with the Terrain Mat.
If your idea of a traditional Christmas is an Edwardian childhood game of toy soldiers, then Mike Broadbent has made a range of very toy-like toy soldiers - straight out of the toy box and ready to march across the nursery floor.
Inspired by the traditional toymakers, these are 'peg'-like soldiers - including two types of infantry, in shako or Busby, and each of these in turn are available in either marching pose, or standing at attention. Busby- or shako-wearing command figures (officer, drummer, and standard bearer) in marching pose or at attention are also provided. The cavalry have been divided into shako-wearing 'lights' and helmet-wearing 'heavies' – all riding their distinctive Toy Town mounts, and these too can be supplemented with appropriate command figures. There is also an artillery set, mounted officers/generals, and even some defences in the form of a building block barricade to take cover behind (the latter can be used for all our Toy Town ranges – such as our 28mm Teddy Bears). All they need is a nice, bright, glossy paintjob.
For those seeking something a little more mentally stimulating, Mike Broadbent has turned a selection of these miniatures into a delightful Toy Town chess set. The set includes all 32 figures required to make up the set, and each figure comes with its own chesspiece base to mount the finished figure on. You just have to decide which eye-catching, contrasting colour scheme you want to paint them in and provide a board to play on.
