The Warre Game - 17th Century, Cuirassiers

[jcspqr]

A preliminary evaluation is that they fit the warlord horses, which have the same saddle blanket sculpting on the horse.  So it looks like they could be. Mixed in with the Warlord Cuirassier for for variety.

Are you planning additional miniatures, such as command types ? (there's a dearth of good cuirassier officers out there, as Paul Hicks on never sculpted any for Emil Horky's Bohemian Miniatures range - now owned by Empress)

Not currently - the primary aim is the Deathride Game scheduled for Salute next year - selling figures is to cover my outlay.
I commissioned them because I don’t think commercially available cuirassiers are interesting enuff (despite owning many)
I agree with your comments on officers etc.
as a result of this adventure I’ve started a bit of sculpting myself - so who knows ?

Mine arrived today, superb figures, I had a spare hand and a lance, now fitted to one of the chaps as a standard bearer.

A second unit underway, a simple marriage of one of the chaps and the standard from the Warlord set.

That standard bearer conversion works really nicely, @Nick 👍.

Got my cuirassiers today and I’m really pleased with them.

The riders have a really nice variety of equipment and I like the sword or pistol options.

Comparing with the other ideas in my ‘pile of opportunity’ I think these will mix very nicely.  They look a good fit with Warlord, Perry, Eureka, Bohemian/Empress, and 1898.

The horses seem to be based on the same models as the 1898 TYW horses and are the same apart of the the holsters and saddles etc. Horses also fit with Perry and Foundry.  The Warlord plastic horses are a bit bigger, as are the Front Rank ‘heavy horse’ that I used for my Bohemian cuirassiers.

I look forward to getting these painted up.

Very cool project indeed!

The owner has confirmed they are Hicks sculpts and he's agreed to make them available for sale.

Just found this and would certainly be in for a unit or two. They really scream TYW!

My chaps done, just had to wait for a couple of standards from Maverick models. The standard bearers were simple conversions, the front one using the piece from the Warlord Cavalry set.

They look fab , Nick 👍
