Historical Figures Inventory
The historical figures inventory covers all pre-20th century figures.
I know this cutoff is pretty arbitrary, but I had to make some choice.
Everything here is in 28mm unless otherwise specified.
Hoplite Greek
- Painted
- 8 officers (can be used as hoplites)
- 6 musicians (pipe)

- 21 archers
- 10 slingers
- 24 javelinmen
- 6 light cavalry
- 3 centaurs
- Total: 170 infantry, 6 cavalry and 3 monsters
- Unpainted
- I broke down and ordered some reinforcements,
maybe 50 on their way...
I included the centaurs simply because they happened to be in the
same container with the rest of the troops. I do have a bunch of other
monsters that would fit a greek theme if I were building a fantasy
army.
10mm Hoplite Greek

The chariots are based on 80mm squares for Fantasy Rules! which
unfortunately makes them either unusable or unsurvivable in some other
rules. But they are a pretty way to sink points...

These are the figures from the Deadloque and
Lady Wintermore's Fangs sets mostly. I still have a pile of loose
elves unpainted. I'm not a huge fan of painting napoleonic
uniforms, even fantasy ones.
1/300 Napoleonic
- Painted
- 73 stands
- Total: 73 stands
- Unpainted
These are essentially full sets for Le Petit Empereur,
French, German, Russian, Austrian and a British half-set (since in
LPE, the brits must always ally with someone). One of the extremely
few cases where I had the figures professionally painted though I did
the basing myself. Needless to say, I've never actually played with
them.
Napoleonic
- Painted
- 25 portuguese cacadores
- 48 portuguese line infantry
- Total: 73 infantry

The modest beginnings of my 28mm nappies I picked up from a
Foundry overstock sale. I should get some officers and maybe
artillery and cavalry as well.

- 8 armored samurai
- 2 mounted samurai
- 23 unarmored, including unarmed civilians
- Total: 37 infantry, 2 cavalry
- Unpainted
- maybe 20-40 armored samurai types
Most of these are Dixon figures, except the unpainted ones that are Clan Wars
figures. Despite being titled oriental, they are actually pretty much Japanese. The rest
are logically in misc. fantasy section...

- 5 archers
- 5 crossbows
- 1 handgunner
- 4 cannons with 2 crew (2 cannons very ugly)

These are mostly Citadel Empire figures from various ages,
including the BattleMasters game. The two ugly cannons are
scratch-built. I also have a bunch of knights listed under medieval.
In a pinch, many of them could stand in for gendarmes.
Renessaince
- Painted
- 3 duelists
- 1 cossack on foot
- Total: 4 infantry
- Unpainted

These all Redoubt Three Muskeeters miniatures, except the cossack who's
Foundry.

These were originally mostly Citadel and Grenadier figures from various
ages, but recently I've added quite a few of Black Tree's excellent
Hundred Years War figures.
The knights are included here even though rougly half of them
are GW Empire figures and might be counted under early renessaince.
Civilian types are listed under misc. fantasy.
Ancient Naval
- Painted
- 1 large galley
- 8 medium galleys
- 8 small galleys
- Total: 17 ships

ones as a test, so there's everything from ancient greek triremes to byzantine
dromons.

- 6 ironclads
- 3 timberclads
