All nice, my favourite is the trooper on the right. Like the pose - makes a nice change from waving a sword in the air above your head.

Incredible for 15mm scale, nice to see you are adding sashes to many of them, a feature so overlooked in many ranges!

All looking extremely good and promising - just this waiting game for them to be available is killing   ;)

Thanks again for everyone’s positive comments!

Here is a Cuirassier that could also be used for thirty years war, he is using the Dutch tactic of trotting with a drawn pistol.

Another nice cuirassier.  I think the trotting with pistol drawn pose is one of my favourite poses of the era, quite evocative.

On the question of sashes, sashes were pretty much the reserve of officers and the rich/nobility/minor gentry/very well to do, so probably limited to command groups and maybe a handful of troopers; widespread sash wearing is  another Victorian fancydressification of the period. Same goes for blooming ostrich feathers in hats. British native bird feathers yes, ostrich no (maybe for nobles); unless all those Victorian paintings are correct and the wearing of ostrich feathers in hats is the reason that the British ostrich is extinct.

The quality of 15mm figures is amazing these days.
