Hinterland figures are perfect for Imagination campaign

 A great sidebar to Imagination campaigns are the tenuous links to other periods using your personal favorites as building blocks to different time periods. 

The Hinterland figures are from a time frame after the 1800 decade and give an opportunity to use the 5x5 countries in another era. To my eyes,  these gems belong to the 1880 to 1913 era, with possible 1920's and 1930's settings.  VBCW anyone?

Of note there are two figures new to the line, motorcycle couriers and a four wheeled conveyance for two huzzars and a machine gun. You can see the range in full at

 From RTO to gal waving hat, lots of animation.


    The sailors are augmented by the veldtforce  inspired hats worn with duster length coat by the gals in the rear of photo.

Micro armor in front is unrelated to the Hinterland figures.



  More hussar themed castings.

Great stuff Joe, I always loved this range and got one unit of sailors, who are used I my BoB/RCW collection. I always intended to get some of the WWI in Africa themed figures too...maybe my next purchase??!

Keith, the African themed 'Askiri' range is available, as is the duster and pinned side hat group.The horse mounted and camel troop just scream for a story set in the desert. Add the sailors, bringing support or crewing a gunboat. I have an order in for the motorcycle couriers and the trike mounted machine gun crew.

Never really seen these miniatures before, some lovely looking figures. The Tricar mounted hussars and machine gun is brilliant, cracking little model.

Donnie, the range is filled with little gems, so nice for them to be available again. There are some figures in other steampunk lists on the site that would go well with them.

Really characterful looking figures that would /could work well in a pulp stting?

Thanks Ray, they do lend themselves to be painted in quite dramatic uniforms.

Iain, the rather 'Grand Fenwick' approach is one way to go; a neighbor of Zenda or Graustark having a Corp of the girls. Pulp settings could borrow from these ideas or use the units as female police or border security force. Mix in some Pulp Figures or some of Bad Squiddo's WW2 figures, narratives write themselves.

Ooh, they look great, and gives me an idea to use them, or something similar, for next year's Christmas Rampant game.

Dean, glad they inspire. Merry Christmas!
