No I haven't! Thanks very much for showing them. The guys with the crossbow and bow are a bit much though. Love the riot horsemen.

Having drooled over these in the flesh, they are very nice indeed.
But be warned - they are titchy. Much more diminutive than most modern 28mms.

I was thinking of getting some to use in No Go Zone, rather than the not so great models that come with it.

Not that I have bought it or anything...

Some Foundry models are more 25 mm than 28 mm (especially the old western range).... but I'm not sure if the moderns are, too...

Should work well with these Hasslefree, then.

As mentioned, there are comparison shots on the Offensive site; they look like they mix pretty well with Foundry to me.

Have you gents seen these:

Ooohhh... missed these before. The rioters will fit the bill perfectly for the minis I've been looking for to kit out my Spinespur game.

Thanks for the heads-up, Argonor!  :)
