First dozen finished.

I didn't realise mouthbreathers were an important ECW troop type!

12 more in the row.

The riders are Bicorn, horses a mix of different manufacturers with one HYW Perry in there. I know it's not bridled corrctly, but I didn't have any ozher horses ready .

Always nice to see more ECW  :)
I think the figure firing his carbine, front right, is actually a TAG figure, but they’re all by Nick Collier. He did the bulk of both the Bicorne and Renegade ECW ranges, and also the TYW range for TAG.
That said, I don’t recognise the figure ramming his carbine. Not Bicorne or Renegade AFAIK. Possibly another  TAG figure?
Not that it really matters.

Thanks and thanks for the clarification also!
I actually bought all the riders and half of the horses at the Hamburg tactica in 2018 from the "bring and buy". There was no written description and the minis were without blister packing.
Found them again in my pile of shame late last year and put them on schedule for finishing. After delaying them several times, I decided that Corona will lead me to getting things done.

Cheers

Nice work!  ECW is my focus right now so it's good to get inspiration from others.

What Paul said : the shooter on the right and the man ramming his carbine are both TAG carabins/arquebusiers from their TYW range, sculpted by Nick Collier who also did the Bicorne range as Richard mentioned :
