Title: Warlord/Arsenal 16th century spaniards
Post by: Timbor on December 17, 2014, 02:00:40 PM

Just saw this over at Warlord Games: http://www.warlordgames.com/sneak-peek-16th-century-gendarmes-and-arquebusiers/

Looks like the long-anticipated range of Arsenal miniatures will be released officially in early 2015.  Hopefully the Pro Gloria plastics will not be far behind!

A long wait indeed. At times I thought it would never happen. I see that some sixteenth century Janissaries are also mentioned in the Warlord games newsletter.

Could some be use for Border Reivers, they look about the same period?

They'll still need to flesh out the pike poses. The original Arsenal figures had one variant each of various poses, making it pretty hard to make a pike block.

Henry V, yes indeed, they should be useful for Border Reivers too (although the Demilancer types would be a bit heavily armed to have in any great numbers - but would do very well as Border Wardens, English Lords, etc., albeit it not too many on the same field !  Foot should be useful as the Garrison troops).
