New TAG TYW/ECW release
« on: September 23, 2010, 03:43:09 PM »
Well, they're technically TYW, but I can't see why they shouldn't be pressed into service for the ECW as well. The mounted colonels and additional pikemen in boot hose shown in their green glory on the TAG site last month have just been released :

My first thought was "Spanish forces for The Flashing Blade"

Ah, those were the days...  :D

The colonels are very nice, but I've already got too many!!! (and truthfully, the TAG TYW horses are a bit rubbish  ::))

That brings back very happy memories :)

Nice figures... but which series are you talking about?
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

Fiddlesticks ! A proper seventeenth century Mexican army never has enough colonels and generals...

And we will have none of that 'Mexico was not involved in the TYW/ECW because it did not exist yet" nonsense : historical inaccuracy is no excuse for a lack of leadership  >:D

Unfortunately the final episode is complete poo and the BBC were right not to show it, it cheapens the rest of the series.
However, everything up to the penultimate episode is pure brilliance.
