Title: Empress- The Wild Bunch.
Post by: Harry Faversham on July 02, 2024, 06:37:21 PM: Been perusing these figures, they're great. Be nice if they did the Cavalry from 'She Wore A Yellow Ribbon'. I'd have 'em in a heartbeat.
Next project will be their 28mm Stagecoach, complete with the Ringo Kid on the roof, with his Winchester!

Just need to get on with putting it together and painting it! The second edition of DMH has some rules as discussed but haven't been able to source anything else. You had any luck?

They also do the General from the Wild Bunch, firing a maxim from the hip! Lovely figures but far from cheap.
Brigade games in the US are releasing a cavalry range - might be worth a look as well. Dont know if they fit as Captain Brittles’ troop though - that aint my department.

Post by: Johnny Boy on July 03, 2024, 08:55:16 PM: Harry, I bought the KD Cavalry and they are a joy to behold with the mounted and dismounted figures properly matched. I just need to make time to get them done. Caliver stock them but they are brutally expensive, probably import fees etc.

Post by: FifteensAway on July 09, 2024, 11:52:01 PM: Bought some Knuckleduster on some misguided advice some years ago that they might work for larger 15s - not even close, HO scale in size. The figures did not have any sort of stand just the feet to 'the ground' so give that consideration before ordering - just in case. Otherwise very nice figures. Actually, still have them.

Also it's all slotteded bases for the food figures and the cavalry are resin with traditional bases. I really like the range as its covering all those figures you always wanted from the movies etc. In fact I've got Five different versions of the Duke himself!!
