Those are stunning figures. A decent book on the subject is Ernle Bradford's The Siege of Malta. I read this while holidaying on the island and toured some of the battle sites. Setting religious sensitivities aside, the Christians put up an tremendously brave fight. |

Yes, I really enjoyed Bradford's book. You'd have to think there's a movie in those pages! |

many movies nooted – but never by anyone I would be excited about filming – last one I think was Guy Ritchie (argh). And for the last decade, the subject has becomes mired in a lot of 'reflecting current east-west tensions' crap. however, Tom Willocks has a bloody good novel / page turner on the siege, called 'the religion'. just don't bother with the blurb. and the chapters in Cowley's 'empires of the sea' is good too |

those figures are lovely I want some… Keraunos you must like these too! |

Brilliant looking figures. Would work fine also at least for the Spanish in Netherlands. |

Hicksey strikes again. Top work, as per. Very interesting (and tempting) subject matter. |

A friend recently loaned me Empires of the Sea, which covers the Siege. I was FLOORED! What an incredible era in history that I had no prior knowledge of. These minis will be hard to resist. |

Gorgeous figures. I can't tell if they are available yet. If so, then I'll certainly pick some (many) up. I assume they are 28mm. |

Very top notch. My Kts. of St. John do not look anywhere near that good. |

I further the comments as excellent figures. Interestingly wonder if the idea of bespoke figure production will work out financially. I certainly hope so and will aim to buy some when available. Looking ahead I feel there is a gap for a really good Horse Arquebusier figure in a firing pose in 25/8 mm? |

Dang it! Another period to tempt me. When will it end!? |

Now here is something that will tickle John, brain, The new company plans on doing Albanians (that's stradiots!!!) Rich |
| Beaumap | 27 Feb 2010 9:18 a.m. PST |
looking forward to them becoming commercially available! Albanian foot would be a marvellous addition. There are plenty of Stradiots out there already. By the way The Religion' by Tim Willocks is a GREAT read. I have just finished it a second time. Totally fiction, yet totally real. It contains some of the best descriptions of close quarters combat ever written. The sheer work involved made me tired just reading! |
