ParticipantHi!
Does anybody know if there are 15mm napoleonic camp followers out there? I’d especially be interested in cantinières – there are some lovely miniatures in 28mm, but so far I couldn’t find any in 15mm.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers
Shandy

ParticipantYes, I’d be interested too. I haven’t seen anything in 15 mm.

ParticipantMinifigs makes a vivandiere’s cart that comes with a seated female driver and a woman walking (carrying a basket if memory serves): http://www.miniaturefigurines.co.uk/Catalogue.aspx?ScaleID=2&CategoryID=11&SubCategoryID=81
I know someone also makes a 15mm vivandiere/cantiniere riding a mule. The figure was given away with one of the wargaming magazines a few years ago but I’m afraid I can’t remember the manufacturer.

ParticipantI’ve remembered the name of the other manufacturer. It is Warmodelling and they do a a couple of nice vivandieres: http://images.campaign-game-miniatures.com/shop/warmodelling/vivandieres-detail

ParticipantThanks a lot General Slade! The Warmodelling figures look very nice…
EDIT: D’oh! I just saw that they seem to be OOP….

ParticipantI think Stonewall Figures now make them in the UK but I don’t know whether the Vivandiers are in production: http://www.stonewallfigures.co.uk/shop/index.php/page,shop.browse/category,Warmodelling+Miniatures++15mm+Napoleonics/category_id,ea251c89210797490021fa4bebeba044?ps_session=e9288c1a1f454838b005c6b4f78a7880
The Minifigs ones are nice too but are quite small.

ParticipantInteresting, Stonewall have their own vivandieres in their carabiniere cassique range: http://www.stonewallfigures.co.uk/shop/index.php/page,shop.flypage/productname,Camp+Followers+and+Sutleress/product_id,3492/category,Republican/category_id,89bab9601859b9fcee3467b91cd37860?ps_session=e9288c1a1f454838b005c6b4f78a7880
I’ve seen images on some blog, they didn’t look too impressive but would work.
Perhaps I’ll try the Minifigs – most of my other napoleonics are Minifigs, so they would fit well, and I’m not too concerned about size difference anyway…

ParticipantMinifigs also have a set of camp followers in their Renaissance >Hussite Wars range. Code 214X. The men aren’t particularly useful but there are a number of women and children who have that sort of bland long skirt and apron outfit which will fit ‘low born peasant dress’ for a wide timescale. I have utilised one for the farmer’s wife/daughter (depending upon which version of the story you read) who stayed to nurse a cow/calf at La Haye Sainte.
The vivandiere’s cart is a lovely little model, and does indeed come with a seated and a walking figure.
<p style=”display: inline !important;”>There are a number of religous types about – Hovels have a set of monks, Minifigs have a set of priests (again in the Hussite Wars section). Hallmark (via Magister Militum) have a good range of generic carts and wagons, in amongst them are some peasant type horse/pack mule handlers.</p> -
