Empress ECW mounted dragoons released.

New ECW releases.

Dismounted dragoons skirmishing. Wearing dragoon boots and carrying matchlock muskets.







Horse holder and mounted versions will follow in the coming months.

Cheers,
Paul

The drummer looks a bit uncomfortable. Shouldn't the ends of his sticks be aimed at the centre of the drum skin?

Paul, please tell us if you release more the next two month. I want to order, but in one not hundred parcels.
The miniatures are beautiful as usual. I can't understand why there are no pictures in the forums.

Hi,

No idea as we sell huge amounts of them so not sure what people are doing with them  lol.

 I do occasionally put pictures up our Facebook page.

However have to confess that I have not painted many of them myself as I have busy elsewhere.

We are due to release a lot more over the next month or two and this will keep going as the range is so popular. My advice is just to buy as it has nearly 80 packs at the moment which should be enough for you get started on  ;)

Hey Boy, I am the guy buying all the stuff in two parts (80 Packs!). But I try to buy it in one order and not in one order per weeks. So, please, release all the stuff in one date. So I can order it easier. ;) I love your stuff, but not your Post&P...
Orcome to the Tactica 2016 in Hamburg and I can preorder :D

Hi All,

Released today and in the shop ECW mounted dragoons. These chaps correspond to their dismounted versions and so skirmish gamers can have the figure mounted and dismounted. We have included a horse holder because I just love horse holders. They mark the place where the horses are kept and just look good.

The dragoons are riding ponies and nags as they would have been with the good quality horse flesh being kept for the true cavalry. The officers however ride their own horses of better quality.

We hope you like these chaps.

Cheers,
Paul

Can you point me to the primary sources that illustrate this 'historical accuracy'?
I could point you to a few re-enactors.

Certainly - where would you like me to start? I happen to know the sources behind this range are extensive and have been built up over several decades. Many  of the sources are linked to re-enactors but many others are not.

Sadly (and I say this as one of them) re-enactors do not have a monopoly on ECW knowledge nor are they always correct.  ;)

Lovely figures Paul.
