New Ebor WSS Figures
« on: 20 March 2016, 01:54:39 PM »
Quite a few of them actually, released with so little fanfare I did not even notice they were out at first - and I do check the Ebor website fairly regularly !

First are the Danes, including a very nice six-figure command pack :
  






Next are some Austrian grenadiers for the Brandenburg-Bayreuth regiment :




There's also a new six-figure command pack in marching poses, best suited for English/Dutch/Imperial units as their tricorns don't sport cockades :




I think that's about it, though there may be a few others lurking on the Ebor website that I didn't spot.

P.S : Nick, as you will probably read this sooner or later, do you think the new loading pose used for the Danish musketeer could be extended to the French and the Spanish ? It would only be a couple of figures and a quick conversion job for Paul.

Nice. :) Very fine sculpting. Though the marching drummer shoulders are a bit... er...!

Stuff like this and the Derby lads game at WMMS last week really tempt me to start a WSS collection again.

I think the angle of the photo and the large cuffs make the pose look odder than it is.

I have the Swedes (unpainted still), so this may help draw in a local to provide them with an opponent  ;)

Fine looking figures.

Some Imperialist Cuirassier would be great to see too!

Jim

They'll be Imperial rather than Imperialist, but they're done and Nick will get around to releasing them in the fullness of time, along with mounted and dismounted French dragoons plus some Bavarian guards.

Dunno if I'm allowed to show pics of the cuirassiers though, as they have yet to be released. Nick, what say you ?

nice figures from Paul as always.

I've got quite a few of this range in my collection and am very happy with them overall (despite the muskets being a little bendy compared to Front Rank).  These will e on view at the Partizan show on May 22nd where the Grimsby Wargames Society will be hosting a large WSS game to demonstrate how we play big battles quickly.

Oo, that's very handy! I'm going to Partizan and will have to take time out from my own demo'ing to look at that table. Will you, by any chance, have WSS miniatures from different manufacturers? This era is the next big(ish) project on my list and I've been trying to decide which range I should get.

Our collections feature figures from Front Rank, Ebor, Foundry, Reiver and Wargames Factory.  Most match quite nicely.
Look forward to saying hello.

I must say, these are very nice, finishing up a large commission of Front rank and War games plastic WSS figures, and in wish I was painting these instead.
