Alban Miniatures

Alban Miniatures produce a small but expanding range of Napoleonic Wars figures. At the moment Light Infantry feature prominently, making these figures very good for skirmish gaming.

The castings are very good indeed, with almost no flash, good detail and excellent poses. The anatomical proportions are also much more lifelike than many wargames miniatures. The downside of this is that the Alban figures are smaller than those made by a lot of popular manufacturers. How well they mix is down to personal preference. I'd happily use them on the same table but others may be more picky!

West Wind Productions

West Wind make a nice range of 'Arthurian' Dark Age figures, comprising Welsh, Irish, Pict, Romano-British and Saxon miniatures. They also make some handy Druid and Priest type fellers!

The castings on my examples were nice and clean with very little flash. The heads and shields are supplied detached but weapons are not included. For greater variety, heads can be bought separately. The figures are on the chunky side but will still mix well with plenty of other manufacturers.
