Blimey. Now those are jolly good. :)
-
Montrose's horse seems a bit odd to me. Looks like a cross with a Bactrian Camel.
-
That might be the angle of the photo but the front legs look short :?
-
I like Charles' face - very good likeness to portraits of him, but he seems a bit too "active" to me. I've always imagined him sitting serenely whilst everyone else is rushing around. Great figure though and very tempting.
Montrose is slightly disappointing. Not the sculpting of himnself, which looks very good indeed, but he is a little "generic". Really, he could be anyof a colonel of a horse regiment. His horse isn't the best I've seen nut theta may just be the angle of the photo.
I'd buy Charlie, but maybe not Monty :)

At Naseby he was ready to charge the enemy...........

I'll second that.

Montrose's horse is dreadful, and Charles looks as though he ate all the pies.
-
Can't wait for the Montrose mini :)

lol True! It's just the mental image I have of him. He just never seems as dynamic as Rupert, Cromwell or T Fairfax etc. ;)

I don't see him as an action man either, he's more Spock than Kirk, but he did have immense moral courage, the kind that meant he could even face death with a calm demeanour.

With or without his head? :D
-
I am not extremely into ECW, but both figures are splendid
as to Montrose's horse - I guess it's the angle of the picture and the lens distortion
-

lol

I have to admit I quite like both of these figures, and I expect I will pick them both up at some point.
-
I'm a fan of all things Warlord, but the Montrose figure doesnt look anything like any representations of him, or written accounts ("clad in coat and trews as the Irish were"). Missed opportunity.
-
I like the character sculpts quite well, even as I could use them for any TYW character or officer figures, but the horses are dreadful. And I doubt it's only the camera angle ... :?
-
Quite like the Montrose figure but to be honest I still prefer the Eureka version, how accurate it is I dunno but it's a nice figure as are the rest in the range.

And the horses are infinitely superior.
-
He's a nice enough generic ECW officer, but as Ignatiev says, they really should have made him more instantly recognizable, as with their Charlie or Olly figures :(
-
Not my period, but nicely done on both of these. Only thing I'm unsure of are the back legs on Chuck's horse.
-
...Is Charles actually wearing the armour of ... a curaissier?!
-
lol
Don't start...
;)

Don't do anything for me, I'm afraid, and wasn't Montrose a Marquis not an Earl?
