Miniatures made for wargamming are usually sold unpainted. Part of the fun of this hobby comes from researching and painting your armies. Some, like myself, simply collect and paint them. Table-top wargaming is perhaps a more popular way of enjoying them. As a rule, wargamers are history buffs, so manufacturers put considerable research into these toys to ensure they are historically accurate. I collect everything from the Iron Age to the Dark Ages.

28mm scale villagers. The first two come from Old Glory Miniatures’ “Revolting Peasants” set. The last two come from Mega Miniatures. They are all mounted on 25mm wide steel washers.

Four more villagers. The first three come from Old Glory. The sea captain comes from Mega Miniatures. He is actually quite a bit larger than most 28mm scale figures. I shrank him down in this image to better fit in the frame. You may notice is base is smaller than the other, although in real life it is the same 25mm size. He measures 30mm from the bottom of the shoes to his eyes.

Iron Age Dacians, 28mm. These are Old Glory miniatures. I believe The Foundry is the only other company out there making 28mm Dacians.

Iron Age Celts, 28mm. Black Tree Design has alot of nice civilian sets to go along with their ancient and Dark Age ranges. These models are from one of their Celtic Folk sets.

1st century Roman legionary and auxiliary
54mm metal by Alpha Miniatures. This New Zealand business had an absolutlely fantastic Roman range. Sadly, it is now out of business.

60mm plastic Reamsa figure. I left his figure unpainted, because it reminds me of a bronze sculpture.
