TYW Imperialist Pikemen
« on: May 18, 2017, 09:21:58 AM »
I'm really pleased with this latest addition to my TYW collection - painted by the great Andrew Taylor. The figures are a real mixture - Bicorne, Bohemian Troops, TAG, Foundry ECw and Foundry El Dorado.

They look good. I assume there are more to come?

A striking unit.  I would not have guessed they represented such a mix of manufacturers.

folnjir: there will be 10 bases, each of 6 figures. This is the ninth base, so the unit should be finished soon.

These are really beautiful.  Can't wait to see them with the rest of the unit.  I was going to post the pike and shot figures I've been working on but now I think they might need some more work!  Great job.

They match perfectly together! Excellent paintjob! What to comment first? The hands, the face expressions? Really stunning!

Beautiful subdued colours!

I especially like the blackened armour, really struggling with how to achieve a good effect on my TYW (or rather Dutch Revolt) miniatures...

The figure on the right...is that perchance a TAG body with a Bicorne head? I was contemplating doing some head swaps using the Bicorne heads on my TAG figures and this looks like a perfect example!

Fine figures and painting indeed, all nicely composed on the base too.
