16th century multipart plactics
« on: 29 September 2025, 11:44:47 AM »
Hey  apart from the WA conquiastadors are there any other multipart plastics for the mid late 16th century, specifically that could be used for lightly armed and or civilian dress?

Thanks in advance.

16th century is poorly catered with plastics, especially the later half.

Warlord does three plastic sets of landsknechts, but these tend to be rather aimed at 1520's or so.

Wargames Atlantic makes the two conquistador sets (infantry and cavalry). They also have a "renaissance heavy cavalry" set, that would be best suitable from mid-16th century onwards, but is certainly not anywhere close to civilian style.

Even with metals, the later 16th century is poorly catered for, though The Assault Group has some ranges for the period. Would these look like what you are searching for:

Thanks. Yes aware of those ranges as well as most of the metals. Was just checking in case I'd missed something.
Oh well. 🤷

Later half of 16th century is a bit of a marginal period for miniature ranges in the first place, so it is not a major surprise that there are not many plastic sets out there, as these rely on large volume sales to offset the moulding costs.
