No, you're right. It's not too much to ask. They've done it for ACW - they should do it for us  8)
(It can only be a matter of time... )
 ;)

I suspect it will be forthcoming.

I'd personally like them to give some thought to some more metal heads (most cost effective for them) and some plastic baggage items... there would be no excuse not to use them in more games then. The metal ones are excellent, but a hefty price, I doubt anyone will be recreating Blore Heath's wagon laager anytime soon.

Cool, they look like hardened and cold-blooded veterans!

I don't think there were enough guns in use in the WotR and they're not the massive lead anvils of later wars. But some plastic gunner/sapper/siege engineer/civilian sprues would be really useful -- the mix-and-match nature of the parts would make it easy to get lots of variety.

Ii'd love to see them in production but I have my doubts too- let us hope I'm proved incorrect! Maybe they'll make some French heavy guns for my just for me and my Fornovo project  ;D :).

Great to see this thread progressing again, some lovely conversion and paintwork there, Richard, an eye candy as usual.

They do look great. I have a box of the new Perry 100YW figures to assemble, could be just what I need to inspire me.

Thank you all  :)

Last couple of figures finished for this 'lift' before I go back into hibernation...  ;)

These two are the builds shown somewhere up above, with the new HYW arms melded to WOTR Foot Knight bodies.
It doesn't offend my historical sensibilities. I think they look pretty convincing, and I like the many additional weapon choices this brings to my Men-at-arms...

Likin' them Richard - and t'others - mixing up the packs as you've done really does produce some great poses.
Enjoy the hibernation 'snooze' - looking forward to you returning to WotR in the 'spring'...!!
Cheers, Simon.

Oh Richard, I am a little bit dissapointed. There is a small shading fault at the left canine tooth of the first knight (picture one).  lol

Honest: Great work, fantastic colours. Thanks for sharing.
