The Loose Association of Wargamers

These are from an unknown figure manufacturer.
Finished these today painted as the Berry regiment, flags by David at "Not by Appointment".
Bought them off fleabay a few weeks ago, they were advertised as 25/28mm figures but when they arrived
they are 20/22mm. However I like them and they should fit in with my 20mm figures.
If not they will go to fleabay.

The standard bearers were a pain in the arse as the flags were cast on and I tried to paint
the flags but I failed, so I cut them off and added wire poles. The flag that was left wrapped around the
the standard bearer was painted grey to fool the eye as a blanket or overcoat.

Work in progress.

20mm wip.

Lucky you managed to preserve those standard bearers or you might have been in a jam - all in all, Berry well done!

(Just a thought, but did you consider converting the remnants of the cast-on flag into the oilskin case the standard was usually stored inside?)

Cheers Baron,
I never thought that I may well do it later.
Good idea.

Rather nice!

I'd love to know what manufacturer. They look very compatible with Wodenfield.

cheers, donald

They've come up nicely, mate.

I had a scan back through the old Spanner and the Yank files but didn't find any 20mm figures like those. However Bataillenfeur Games' castings have some similarities, especially the heads and hats, and are a closer match than the other 20mm stuff we looked at. But that was back in 2003 or so, and there's a lot of miniature companies come and gone since then.

Cheers for all your kind comments and support.
Donald I thought that they were Wodenfeld but I found no match?
Still none the wiser.


Willz.

I suspect these might be a bunch of figures I sold at auction a few months back. I never managed to identify the figures, despite asking peeps on this forum - clever bunch.

They are very close in character to 25mm Rafm Indian Wars figures, but I couldn't see them in any catalogue. Ral Partha possibly? Definitely not Wodensfeld.

Very nice paint job, Willz.

Agreed - I have some Wodensfeld ASW/SYW French and they don't look like them at all.

Based on the "Usain Bolt/hamstring stretch" pose in the above photo, I was wondering if they were anything to do with Essex (as in the company, not the fellow forum member)?

I believe you're referring to Spanner's photo. They are not the same make as Willz'z figures, nor are they Essex, I see what you mean re the Usain Bolt - Essex can be rather pointy figures.

This is very annoying. I agnonised over the source of these figures for weeks.....I thought I'd put it all behind me.

Sorry to cause you wargaming PTSD (Post toy soldier depression) Iain.
I have taken a hammer to them and dumped them on a golf course
No not really it's bugging me also, I am sure I saw the make on a blog??????????
