ECW Swordsmen

[alone_withmyaxe]

I am looking for ECW, either models or arm sprues with predominately swords of the period.

Anyone know where I can get some?

I have looked at the warlord games stuff and the infantry can provide the bodies, I just need some arms! The command sprue contains the sort of thing, but is a costly way to do it as I would want probably 40 models once I have finished.


Any thought would be appreciated

How about figures from Redoubt's 4 Musketeer range?

Or Brigade Games' Musketeers range. They are sculpted by Paul Hicks and smaller than Redoubt.

I put together several of the pikemen from that set as swordsmen by removing the pikes and adding flattened brass rod for the swords as well as converting the pistol hands to swords in the same way. The simple S shaped guard and baskets of the hilts are easily done with green stuff.

When I really mangled something I'd give the model a buckler as well to cover.

Redoubt has the following available, maybe as a base for converting

Three different bodies, with two with multiple head-variants to choose from.



Old Glory has the dismounted Cavalry with sword options

Hope this helps
