Alternate Bretonnia foot troops

I have some plastic Bretonnian bowmen and mounted knights from the fifth edition box. I'm looking for additional foot troops with hand-to-hand weapons of some sort. What current ranges would be a good stylistic match for my figures?
 
Two modern ranges spring to mind, perry miniatures do war of the roses and agincourt ranges and firefourge do some good generic medieval types. Both do metals and also some good plastic boxed sets. Foundry do some of the old bret and empire minis as historical ranges. Hope that helps.
 
Pretty much any Hundred Years War range would work. Perry do some good plastics, for example:

They also have Knights, spearmen etc.

Also Black Tree do a whole range if you'd prefer cheap metals.

Those Foundry models won't sit well next to 5th edition stuff, too small. They don't even go well with 3rd edition Bretonnians (the ones from 1990-ish anyway).

Another thumbs up for Black Tree Design. They've got their not-Bretonnian fantasy humans or cheap hundred years war historics. I've got some of the historics and some are quite nice and look pretty good next to the Bretonnian stuff... but there are some absolute dogs in the range, mostly dodgy poses.

You could look at Fireforge too.

EDIT: Give Claymore Castings a look too.
 
Thanks, everyone! I'm going to hold off on purchasing new figures till I get some of my current minis painted, but now I know where to go when I'm ready to expand my army.
 
If you're looking for a metal range then you could do a hell of a lot worse than checking out Claymore castings. Lots of historically accurate medieval troops. Really nice figs.
 
Claymore castings are beautiful...but they will not work with Citadel figures...the proportions are too realistic and look odd next to heroic sculpts.

Cheers,

Do the Black Tree Design models look good next to the Citadel Foot Knight models from the WFB 3rd Edition era?

What did most people use back then for their Brettonian armies? The Foundry models?

Thanks.

I've just sold my Bret army, or I'd have shown you, but the BTD Knights look spot on in comparison to Citadel, IMO.

Back in the day, I just used Citadel models, they were only 50p each at the time! :lol:
 
Thanks Diesel.

What year were those Citadel models produced?

These weren't the ones that are available from Foundry now, correct?

The Citadel stuff i used to have was all slotta '85-'90 era.

The Foundry stuff is generally early preslotta Perry stuff, and on the small side compared with later slotta stuff and Perry/BTD models.
 
I haven't got Black Tree medieval troops, but their Picts and medieval civilians are fairly large (larger than the Perry stuff), so I imagine they might be a good match. I find a little scale difference is ok anyway, as long as you don't mix within the same unit.
