You forgot Thunderbolt Mountain Miniatures, the company of ex Ral Partha and Citadel sculptor Tom Meier.

He produces what are probably the best like of Elves and Orcs/Goblins in existence (in 30mm), and he owns the rights to, and produces, the old King Arthur 25mm line from Ral Partha. The King Arthur line is not a Post-Roman Britain line, but a high-medieval line of Arthurian miniatures, including every knight from Le Morte d'Arthur, and the Grail Quest.

The King Arthur line is going to look tiny compared to what people call "25 mm" these days.

Just found "East Riding Miniatures". ERM. They have a 28mm range, or so they say, though I somewhat suspicious since the range is referred to ERM 25. Anyway, you have some bald guys in space suits (looks good for gene stealer cult), some pulp figures, some colonial marines, aliens and space suit folks.

Very cheap though - $1.50 a figure roughly.


Not to mention some of the best Saxons currently in existence.

The Saxons mix well with the Eureka Beowulf line, which gives one of the best and most detailed lines of Saxons in existence.

For Fantasy LotR players, they mix well with the Rohirrim, to provide a full Éoherë (The miniatures done by GW for the Rohirrim would represent the standing Éoreds of each March, of which there were three for each Marshall - or a Total of Twelve, including the Guard, or 2,400 men). The ERM mounted Saxons would represent the non-standing Éoreds, which tended to be more poorly equipped - there were around 100 of these more poorly equipped Éoreds.

The Complete Army of the Éotheod, or "Rohirrim" would have been 100 - 120 Éoreds, making up an Éoherë of around 10,000 - 12,000 men. With an Éored being between 80 and 300 Horsemen - depending upon the station and role of the Éored
