28mm Irish figures for the Wars of the Roses period

[Dave Knight]

Any recommendations?  I am aware of Perry and Claymore

[Mick Hession]

Antediluvian miniatures have some nice-looking figures and there is also Old Glory. I've only seen the website pictures so can't say how they would mix with other ranges.

Cheers

Antediluvian miniatures and Claymore are one in the same I believe

Have you looked at Gripping Beast?  These are somewhat earlier figures from their Age of Vikings range, but should help fill the ranks of the great unwashed.

Timeline Miniatures also have gallowglass and other Irish figures for early renaissance that might be suitable.

Antediluvian are the ones with the Irish. 

Crusader have some Irish Skirmishers in their Hundred Years War range which would fit later 15th century.  Mixture of bows and javelins.

Redoubt also have a small early Rennaisance range of Irish but they are not pictured on their website.

The Crusader kern look good
The real difficulty is finding figures gto represented the nobles

[Mick Hession]

Old Glory do mounted nobles in their Wars of the Roses range. I don't think anyone does dismounted nobles other than in command packs so I suspect you are limited to conversions from galloglass figures.

I know these are early 16th century but nice inspiration

Hi
I got engaged with the irish through a WoR game and have used the Old Glory Kern, Gallowglass and mailed cavalry.

They look very old school but once painted and in mass look very good. I have shed some blood drilling out the hands of the kern to take the javelins or darts.

It is also worth having a look at Hoka Hey Wargaming  who make a nice range of figures based on the Albrecht Durer illustrations. I have used a lot of the Hoka Hey figures for my Elizabethan age Irish figures- battle of Yellow Ford etc.

Period Drift??

Just noting that Wargames Atlantic have just released their plastic Irish box. You could do some very clever things with a sharp blade and Perry plastic medieval.
