Modern-ish English Civil War

Looking for some 15mm horse mounted/dismounted troops to use as the Queens Gaurd. Dressed for parade...dont jump on me if I didn't use all the right lingo or verbage, you know what I mean...

Interesting.......

What time period are you going for?

Ah... you thought you were on 'that other forum' clearly... 

When you say 'Queens Guard', we have a couple of types of those.

The mounted ones (Lifeguards/Blues and Royals) in helmet and breastplates, might be available in a Victorian range somewhere, the uniforms haven't changed much, or with some work on the helmet, French Napoleonic Cuirassier might do the job in 15mm.

The Bearskin wearing Foot Guards are probably a little harder to source... but when a 'Line' unit is mounting guard, which sometimes happens, they wear the 'Home Service Helmet', which again might be available in a Victorian range too. The biggest difference will be the weapons if you are looking at present day, as they all carry the SA80, which is quite distinctive, even in 15mm.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I'm sure somebody here will come up with a better answer.

Thank you very much for the info...found some good stuff, now to make my shopping list for Cold Wars...

So how is this project progressing? I'm really interested in it.

The project is a slow go, my intent was to have as a setting Prince William and Prince Harry fighting over the throne. An attack by Harry and his loyal troops attacking William during a parade. I did pick up French mounted Cuirassiers for British horse guard...

Eureka have some Foot guards in their sci-fi range, Dome armed with old SMLEs and some with sci fi weapons. With weapon swaps they might work.
