I'm currently painting English Caliver men from this range and I would like to say they are a dream to paint. Nick Collier is one hell of a sculptor, I was worried about painting the cross on the front of the chest freehand but the detail has been sculpted on the figure so that made it a lot easier.
If anyone is thinking of buying figures from this range I suggest they go ahead they will not be disappointed.

If I ever win the lottery, I am absolutely going to build a Spanish Armada Successful alternate history collection, based on TAG's 16th-century ranges.

Very nice, They certainly would be a welcome addition to my Renaissance Armies.  I hope that they won't be too expensive.  I can never have enough cavalry swirling around

Was not a period I was particularly interested in, but these and the English figures are so beautiful I am seriously tempted.
