Recommended 15mm suppliers? Asked by Paul Compton, 21 August 2021

I'm putting together a 15mm ancients Army, compatible with both DBMM and ADLG. What are people's recommended suppliers for NZ?

    It will depend on the army you're building.

      John Edmundson haven't given it a lot of thought yet. Something that doesn't have hordes of spears!

    You could ask if any one is selling 15mm figures or armies ?
    Are Donnington or Lancashire 15mm still around. I might have wrong spelling.

      Donnington, yes. And they now have new ranges - some great Arabs and North Africans for example. I think Lancashire may have recently shut up shop but their ranges may reappear if the molds are onsold.

        John Edmundson. I believe Lancashire Games are still going. They posted picture of their new 10mm range on their Facebook page about 10 days ago.

        John Edmundson. The bad news is that you've just missed their summer sale. (Ended a fortnight ago.)

    I buy figures from the US and Britain and they have both been good. I've been told Khurasan can be slow (I think because the guy gets a bit snowed under) but I've never heard a genuine complaint about them. I've bought from Old Glory (US), Essex, Magis…

      John Edmundson I bought Essex before, I've always liked them. Good to hear they're still around.

        Paul Compton They're still a dependable and extensive range. They have good photos of everything on their website. I've tended to use them to fill gaps. They're at the smaller end size wise but I personally think you can get away with quite a bit of va…

    Essex are a great standard, and a wide number of ranges. Tend to have passive poses. Closer to true 15mm. Blue Moon is closer to 18mm, not hugely detailed, but paint up nicely (I have some Italian Wars figures I use for Fantasy humans). Khurasan has a …

      David Billinghurst Be careful with Forged in Battle though. They seem to be modelled on the original AEIR, so have some inaccuracies. Eg their Blemmyes are wrong and their Sassanian LH have globe hats. Their Etruscans on the other hand look great but t…

      I've ordered from Khurasan, Forged in Battle, and Baueda in the last year or so, and the speed of service and delivery has been fine on all of them.

    +1 Forged in Battle. Also Xyston are very nice though prob 18mm. I had their Macedonians and now have Greeks waiting to meet the brush. There were some 15mm armies, painted including Picts and Swiss for sale on this group late last year if you search back for 15mm.

    My 15mm armies are a mix of Two Dragons, Chariot, Eureka, Essex and Museum.
    Happy with them all esp 2D and Chariot. Only caveat would be with Museum. Some figures seem nearer to 18mm and horse anatomy can be a bit hit/miss
