I pinched a few images of the Knights of St John from the web:








I can see some useful types in the Redoubt, Foundry and TAG ranges to represent these, semi-armoured knights. Especially the new TAG Tudors look promising:

I think there is also some real potential in The Assault Group's new Tudor range, especially among some of the Border/Militia infantry packs (steering clear of longbows, of course) and the Tudor gun crew.  Nothing about them specifically screams "English," and they can just as easily be French, Spaniards, Venetians, etc. circa 1550's period.

TAG were also working on producing a Valois army, during Kickstart had most of the greens near complete. So hopefully they will be out fairly soon and there were some nice armoured Swiss among those greens.

Well, sometimes it's good to have a big kraken like Warlord Games in the pond. They obviously acquired the never-gone-to-production Arsenal range discussed here before: NEWS LINK
Here's hope that they will commission some more Hicks sculpts for this… 8)

Excellent news - this range now looks set to see both the light of day and some expansion too!

FANTASTIC !!!   Now we fans of the 16th century can see "some of the love" the ECW gamers have enjoyed for so many years!  Excellent looking figures with uses for many conflicts of the period.

Those pics are great - just right for a certain project, though it's a pity the book about the Great Siege is in Polish! Does anyone know what happened to these guys, btw?
