I have to admit I quite like both of these figures, and I expect I will pick them both up at some point.

I'm a fan of all things Warlord, but the Montrose figure doesnt look anything like any representations of him, or written accounts ("clad in coat and trews as the Irish were").  Missed opportunity.

I like the character sculpts quite well, even as I could use them for any TYW character or officer figures, but the horses are dreadful. And I doubt it's only the camera angle ...  :?

Quite like the Montrose figure but to be honest I still prefer the Eureka version, how accurate it is I dunno but it's a nice figure as are the rest in the range.

And the horses are infinitely superior.

He's a nice enough generic ECW officer, but as Ignatiev says, they really should have made him more instantly recognizable, as with their Charlie or Olly figures :(

Not my period, but nicely done on both of these. Only thing I'm unsure of are the back legs on Chuck's horse.

Don't do anything for me, I'm afraid, and wasn't Montrose a Marquis not an Earl?
