More fab work Hu  :-* :-* :-*

Those Foundry Gendarme's will never go out of fashion  8)

I'm (soon/soon-ish) going to start working on a 1250 pt army for Swordpoint which will of course be usable with Hail Caesar, WAB and a my favourite for the period, based on just reading the rules, Furioso.

True but I just wish they produced more variety in their armoured horses or sold the riders separately.

Haven't tried Furioso, mine are based for Pike and Shotte, which seem to work well with a few minor tweaks to get the period feel.

Amazing.

Thanks very much for the kind comments.

Next up are some Spanish Arquebus. Foundry from their Conquistador range.

They look superb  :-*

Do you think the Foundry and TAG Arquebusiers will mix well? If so great as that's more possible variation :)

Thanks. The Foundry figures in this range are a litle bit chunkier so I wouldn't mix them in the same units.  I think the Eureka figures mix better with TAG. I'll be painting them up in due course and will post a comparison picture.

Looking good Gary.
Copplestone sculpts - the last ones he ever did for Foundry IIRC - you can’t beat them.
