Warlord Games: Wars of Religion

[Metternich]

These will undoubtedly be joining my Wargames Foundry and Eureka 16th century figures (assuming compatability in size).  Upcoming plans for cavalry ?

[Kommando_J]

Ah so my memory is playing me false- I'm getting old and senile.

Easy mistake to make, here's the old followed by the new.

[Kommando_J]

Commbined with the above chaps, would you say the new releases would be any good for conquistadors?

[moonshado]

The Conquistadors wore less metal armour and used quite a lot of local produced quilted jackets(there is a generalisation for the experts to pull to shreds). Also the main conquistador battles were in the early half of the sixteenth century(Cortez died in 1522 and Pizarro died in1541) whereas these figures are for the Great Siege of Malta period(1560s)  If they are compatible in size to the Wargames Foundry conquistadors I think they could certainly be used in conjunction with them to give more variety to the units if you were prepared to overlook the odd historical inaccuracy.

[Lowtardog]

You could certainly mix them into later period campaigns in brazil where french, spanish,portuguese vied for control. For Cortez and Pizarro their costume is liittle late, helmets notably, you wouldbe better sticking with foundry, eureka and TAG for that

[Emir of Askaristan]

I'm hoping there will be some scope in the range to handle conflicts in Scotland around the reign of Queen Mary, Corrichie for instance. Albeit some mixing of figures and heads may be required for "royal" forces with lowlanders wearing bonnets and fabric or no armour at all and probably looking to Irish from Elizabeth's wars to handle any highlanders.

Ok ok, it's a long shot...but  we all dream don't we!

[Lowtardog]

Worth looking at claymore casting for irish, hicks sculpts too, their highlanders make good gallowglass

[rumacara]

Oh and Karl, if you never paint those Eureka portuguese i dont mind to keep them.

Cheers...that ought to be a good mix

[white knight]

I really don't think these are Paul Hicks sculpts, the differences are obvious to the trained eye. 












(just messing with you...)

[puster]

Not sure about the expense - 12.00 for four swordsmen is certainly right up the pricey end for 28mm wargames figures.

I really hope (and expect) that this is just a mistake, as 12.00 is their usual price for 8 infantry, while 4 usually come at 7.00.

[Knight of St John]

I hope they don't take too long releasing those nice looking Janissaries they had on show at Salute and Paul said he has asked Paul Hicks to do some Knights. Plus he was wanting to get some Maltese ( have I splelt that correctly or Just made a new word up ) done at some time. He was very enthusiastic about the whole range which has got to be good because I'm obsessed with it.

[Lowtardog]

I nearly did last month, spent 2 hours photographing them but in the end liked them too much to get rid of them

There are 8 miniatures in the blister. So don't worry!

[NurgleHH]

There are 8 miniatures in the blister. So don't worry!

The Problem with warlord is, that it always is 2x4, not real 8 figures. So, a kind of tricking the customers. Better buy one time 4 figures than 2x4 figures. I always ask friends, if they want to have half of the blisters...
