Title: Warlord TYW Plastics
Post by: Arthur on 22 October 2010, 09:50:11 PM
Two new plastic sets from Warlord, one for the Imperialists and one for the Swedes. I imagine they are the ECW sprues with new officers and extra metal parts to convert them for the TYW era :

Yes, new metal helmets and hats are included as well as 4 (I think) metal figures, the rest are the same plastics as the ECW sets. I'm thinking of getting some imperialists as I like those hats and morions.

Seriously tempted... I really want to do some Danish-Swedish war of 1657

We play this year at CRISIS (Antwerp/Belgium) our TYW battle "Nördlingen 1634 - Twilight over the Heselberg".

We use the "Black Powder Rules System" by "Warlord Games" that was partially adapted for the necessities of the 30 year wars.

Please come along and have a look ... you are welcome.

And/or look for further information at our webpage www.ths-wargames.de

A period too far for me, but I love their ECW stuff and look forward to seeing the figures painted up by our resident maestros  :D

Fugazi, the game looks great.
I was looking at Black Powder and thinking about a TYW version for the tabletop battles in a campaign.
Is there any chance I could have a look at your TYW version please?

These really do look nice. Their plastics are great, except some of them have mould lines running right down through the middle of the faces. I may have to put a bit of a Swedish force together, as I like painting yellow.
