League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Dixon figures, comments are appreciated:

Very nice indeed, I am very fond of Dixon miniatures myself so I am wondering which ranges or the several at or about this period he does. i find his League of Augsburg range fit very well in the same unit with warfare ones for size and build and add a bit more variety of pose though the way warfare miniatures are going that's getting less of an issue My Local FLGS also stocks both ranges all I need is to get more of both & pay some one to do my work whilst I paint them.

Well done. Prior to the inception of Warfare Miniatures, I was a big fan of Dixon and still won't say anything bad about them. With the caveat that I am one of those fanatics about uniform height for figures and this is simply personal preference as I have seen terrific units with varying manufacturers and figure sizes, I would say that the Dixon "LOA" code figures fit a little better with Warfare so, if you absolutely must purchase from someone else and then just enough for variety, I would go with those first.

Evil Ginger, the 28 mm Marlburian line is essentially the LOA coded range with tricorns. They have a couple of added figures and may have changed the bayonets a little.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for the nice comments, guys!

They are Lekker! Splendid stuff. I also like the buildings, who are they made by?

I hope I can paint half that well when I grow up.

Really, they are beautiful.

If I only knew... They are 2/3rd of a HO Railway station plastic kit I picked up at a flea market for a couple of Euros a few years ago. It went into the "to do" container together with an identical one I picked up - again at a flea market - the year after. I usually don't buy HO stuff (not the right scale), but with railway stations the doors tend to be rather large and big enough for 28mm. This particular model has a central building with two identical wings (easily separated, and a bit of fidling with the roofs result in 3 "18'th C buildings/barracks"). The only other thing I did to them (apart from painting) is adding stucco. I've googled already on several occasions (same question asked... ) but couldn't find the manufacturer. Anyway, there are some similar kits around if you wish to go that way.
