Ion Age Retained Esquires - 28mm Sci-Fi Miniatures

Ion Age Retained Esquires

Reinforce your battle line with this set of four finely detailed metal 28mm scale miniatures. Sculpted as Retained Esquires of the Prydian Army — rifle-armed infantry and steadfast companions to the Retained Knights — these troopers are ready to advance across any warzone you can imagine.

Whether you're building out a full Prydian Army formation or bolstering a Marcher Baron force with dependable line infantry, these miniatures combine beautifully with other Ion Age codes for larger battles or stand alone as a tight, versatile skirmish unit. Mix them with Retained Varlets for varied poses across your formations.

The Oldhammer Aesthetic

These sculpts carry that unmistakable character of classic British sci-fi miniature design — solid, well-armed troopers with that old-school heft that modern plastics rarely match. If you're chasing the Oldhammer aesthetic, these fit right in alongside your vintage collections. Their proportions and style make them natural companions for any retro-inspired sci-fi force.

Versatile Across Game Systems

These rifle-armed troopers are at home in a wide range of sci-fi rulesets:

• Warhammer 40,000 / 40k: Ideal proxies for Space Marine tactical squads or bolter-armed infantry — the armour styling and scale translate perfectly.
• Stargrave: Versatile crew members; these troopers make excellent soldiers, veterans, or specialists in any warband.
• Zona Alfa / Five Parsecs from Home: Perfect for gritty, squad-level sci-fi skirmish play where individual model character matters.
• One Page Rules (Grimdark Future): Drop them straight into any standard infantry or line trooper role.
• Rogue Stars / Pulp Alley: Great for elite troopers or mercenary riflemen in narrative-driven games.
• The Ion Age (Patrol Angis / Firefight 2.0): Their native system — where they truly shine as part of the Prydian Army's finest.
