Sorry to be a pedant  ::)but these are 1540's, they draw fairly heavily from images such as this (siege of Boulogne 1544).

That said some could do as militia for the Elizabethan period but it appears from details of plans for their Tudor range on their site that they will come round to Elizabethans eventually.

These are early Tudor figures but did longbowmen really carry quivers like that? 14th/15th C archers used arrow bags and tended to either stick their arrows through their belts or in the ground as it was quicker to simply pull them out and shoot.
They were all drawn to the Keep; the soldiers who brought death; the father and daughter fighting for life; the people who have always feared it; and the one man who knows its secret....
