B.t.w. I contacted T.A.G. and was told the new range will start out with early war "Sea Beggars" and skirmish troops this October and then regular dutch troops for the 1590's around May of next year. Which is perfect, considering I have still a lot of planning to do!
If you want to do the Sea Beggars period, think Elizabethan costume. The Wargames Foundry "Seadogs and Swashbucklers" range are a good start (obviously steer clear of the longbowmen, meant to portray British troops of that same period). Also very useful are their late 16th century range (many of which can be used for either Spanish or Dutch troops).https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/seadogs-and-swashbucklershttps://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/late-16th-century-1560-1610https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/late-16th-century-1560-1610?page=2Eureka makes some Portuguese Conquistadors which can add to your forces (particularly as umpaid, veteran Spanish troops who, as the campaign raged on, could become very raggedy - but avoid crossbowmen figures, which would be obsolete by this time), and as sailors for either side; The Spanish Conquistador armored cavalry and petronels are also useful:https://eurekaminusa.com/collections/conquistadores-28mm-portuguesehttps://eurekaminusa.com/collections/conquistadores-28mm-spanish/products/100con11ahttps://eurekaminusa.com/collections/conquistadores-28mm-spanish/products/100con19a
You could do worse than visit our 80-years War Facebook page made for our Dutch Miniatures Wargame Event last year. A lot of it is in Dutch (obviously) bu Facebook translates reasonably well and the pictures are quite inspirational if I say so myself https://www.facebook.com/groups/1814563208780624/
