GUERNSEY FOUNDRY 25MM OLD WEST


This is a newly fomed sister company to Wargames Foundry and it shows. The figures, designed by Bryan Ansell and Mark Copplestone are superb! Measuring exactly 25M BM*, the figures include Townsmen, Cowhands, Shootists and Apaches. Many of the town. Men are in felt hats and bowler hats with weapons and can be used for Boer War, Irish Rebellion, and other Colonial periods. The Shootists include a great Buffalo Bill figure and a superb Bowler hatted lawman. I can't wait to paint these up!

Coming soon is a second release which will include Mexicans. Available from Pendragon Miniatures and Brookhurst Hobbies. -DICK BRYANT

* The Courier uses the Tobey Barrett Measurement [BM] System to simplify comparison of figure sizes. The number is the height in millimeters from the bottom of the figure's foot (top of base) to its eyes. The letter refers to the "heft" of the figure: L=light, M=medium, and H=heavy. Thus, Hs will fit in with other Hs and some Ms, but not Ls.
