proxy ideas: Empire

[athensfantasy]

As many of you know, since GW stopped producing 10mm figures, I have started making lists that map warmaster troop types to miniatures that are widely available today:
http://www.athens-fantasy.gr/2013/07/warmaster-miniatures-in-the-post-gw-era/

There are several armies I haven't prepared yet, so I am turning this into a collaborative effort. Feel free to post ideas/links here and I will sum it up on the blog post to have everything collected there. I will try to keep it up to date as new lines are released to cover the gap in the 10mm market.

so this thread is about the Empire army:

Halberdiers
Handgunners
Crossbowmen
Flagellants
Skirmishers
Knights
Pistoliers
Helblaster
Cannon
Steam Tank
General
Hero
Wizard
Griffon
War Altar

Most should be easy with historical miniatures.

Hello,

Helbardiers: pikenier from myself

Does anyone have suggestions for a Griffon / Steam Tank / War Altar replacement?  Those would be the hardest, also the Pistoliers.

How about this for pistoliers

(remember you can click the image to enlarge it)

the just a few ideas
Griffon: maybe Mirlington or 15mm manofacturers could have a griffon suitable. I use one of Granadier 28mm (a little bit big, but that is fantasy).

Steam tank: you have this http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=4264.0
It is not a steam tank, but is the same idea.
I sometimes had use a WWII soviet autopropulsed artillery. Maybe with some modifications....
Another possibility is searching something in Troublemakers games (10mm) http://www.troublemakergames.co.uk/

War altar: You need a mage figure, a wagon and a 28mm figure painted in gold

hope it helps

These from Pendraken make very good Pistoliers for Empire or Light Cavalry for Dogs of War:

You get a standard bearer and trumpeter in the pack as well as 13 troopers. I guess one of the troopers is an officer figure, can't say I've looked too closely for the difference.

4 packs will get you 5 units  .

Add a smoke stack or two to the rear for a steam tank?

Good point Andy, cool

With different, or converted, crew figures, a proxy Steam Tank:

Does anyone have a good proxy for flagellants?

I was thinking about extending my Empire army to also become a Witch Hunter army but only have 3 units of flagellants.

Thanks in advance,

Jo

I'm using the Peasants from Kallistra as Zealots but they could be used as Flagellants.

Laran miniatures have a witch hunter character pack.

Hi

I was wondering if anybody had looked  at the WizKidds unpainted figures of the Griffon as a proxy, or is it too big? It's meant to be on a 2"/50mm base in this pic:-

Wow! Well as a General command base I'd put it on a 40mm round anyway, looks really dynamic.

[GrumpyOldMan]

Hi

I was also looking at their Goblins and Human Barbarians for Ogres and Giants:-





Will have to look at the size. They are listed as 28mm but the base with the Barbarian is meant to be 25mm 

Cheers

Did you check the Griff Hounds for Age of Sigmar for your griffin ?
