Can anybody identify the miniatures used on page 13 in En Garde from Osprey?

Cheers

Looks like Redoubt

Yes, I thought Redoubt, perhaps with a few conversions, although it's difficult to tell from the Redoubt website because it only has photos of a few of the range.

Definitely Redoubt's 3 Musketeers Range. Very nice if a tad large compared to other early 17th century ranges.

I understand that the Redoubt range started out as a range commissioned by a customer, and the customer wanted the figures to match some continental figures he already owned. These figures were 32mm or so, hence the Redoubt figures are much bigger than 28s.

Thanks everyone. I love the sculpting of a defensive clock but I don’t think the wider range of Redoubt is for me.

I have all these miniatures and they are definately big. The Brigade musketeers look like dwarves beside them. The Redoubt TYW/ECW range is also in this big size so the good side of it is that it gives opportunities for gaming early 17th century in a wider context. I use ECW miniatures in cassocks also as musketeers.  ;)

Forgive the tangential question, but is the Osprey En Garde related at all to the 1970s/1980s RPG of the same name?
No plan survives first contact with the dice.
