Empress Miniatures release Thirty Years War range. LATEST RELEASE.

[Paul Richardson]

Lovely horses. I too wanted my Bohemian cuirassiers on standing horses, and I really struggled to find some good ones. I eventually settled on Calpe horses because they're nice horses and have lots of variety but, because they're designed for the Napoleonic era, the horse furniture isn't accurate for the seventeenth century. I just decided to live with that. They're also quite wide at the shoulder and need some work to make them fit. Now you're giving us another option, and I suspect that I'll be using your horses for another unit or two. Apart from your standing horses I really like the rearing one and the horse sat back on its haunches.

Agreed :-) he's a belter.

Agreed :-) he's a belter.

Probably because we know a few like him

This is a great range. Do I remember correctly that you might add some head variants to increase flexibility? Some Morions on the (upright) pike would be nice.

I agree with jcspqr that more head variants with Spanish / Imperial Morion helmets would be warmly received.

[Captain Brown]

Very nice figures.

Cheers,

On the subject of potential additions to the range, a couple of cavalry officers (one for the cuirassiers and one for the arquebusiers) would come in really handy as Emil never got around to commissioning them despite many appeals by yours truly - and quite a few others no doubt. This was the most obvious gap in the original Bohemian Troops range in terms of basic figure types. The only mounted officer available so far is the bloke in 3/4 armour wearing a hat and he is obviously meant to be a general rather than a generic cavalry officer. 

[Paul Richardson]

I second Arthur's suggestions.

I know that Emil was also hoping to bring out some advancing and some marching figures.

Any chance of some Dumas style musketeers?
