One of our members has shown an interest in doing wars in the Elizabethan era with the Pike and Shotte rules. So now we are looking for minis. Affordable plastics would be nice, but I'll take any and all suggestions. Thanks Dan |

Pendraken better known for their 10mm minis make Elizabethans and Irish in 25/28mm |

The Assault Group is working on some Tudor minis: link Wish I could wrangle some players into gaming this period. |

There is a list of 28mm manufacturers here… link |

We've recently sold off our 28mm range to Alan Rudd of HokaHey Wargaming, there's a full list on his website here: link They are still listed on our website while he gets some stock levels built up, and then I'll be doing an announcement on the change. |

25mm Elizabethans can be had from Foundry and Old Glory for sure. |

Link to full list of 25/8mm Renaissance manufacturers – Elizabethans might just sneak in the beginning of it although some of the "Medieval"ranges are not covered. link I need to add Pendrakens/Hokahey… |

Outpost Wargaming Services has some Border Rievers that I like. link They also have some nice highwaymen. Buck Surdu P.S. Their Robin Hood figures are a little cartoony, but I like them too. |

Good 25/28mm Elizabethan ranges are from:
* Foundry
* Vendel from their Eizabethan/Border Reiver range
* Old Glory's Wars of Religion range
* Essex Spanish and Dutch, although a bit older rnage,
still usefull
* Pendraken, especially good cavalry Le Duc |

The Old Glory infantry are pretty huge with some massive morions. They don't really fit with the old Foundry stuff but look OK with the Foundry 'Sea Dogs'.The cavalry are smaller and do fit with the old Foundry-if this helps… |

Yes, some of the OG range are both really large AND have big helmets and headgear (some hats look like the minis stuffed socks in the front to "make them fit", so that the headband extends forward from their brows, rather than them being too big "all around"). They are nearly a head taller that other OG pike & shot minis I have. That being said, IMO they don't look TOO out of place when casually mixed, because they're stylistically the same. The morions are a pretty easy fix, by shaving/filing down the crown a bit, them bringing in the crest & brim to match. With some of the more pimptastically hatted, I just cut off thir noggins and replaced them with those from some helmeted OG ECW minis I have tasking up space. I looked long and hard at the old Vendel range, but just don't like them. Their helmets, especially, are soft-looking and "blunted". |

A now we have the beautiful TAG range although I'd like to see some later Elizabethans. I wonder if head swops will help with the OG figures. |
| Henry Martini | 01 Oct 2014 4:16 p.m. PST |
Maybe some someone has some spare plastic heads from Warlord's ECW range. |
| Henry Martini | 01 Oct 2014 4:17 p.m. PST |
S-sorry about the st-stutter. |

I can highly recommend Foundry, I have had my 2 Spanish tercio and a number of there cavalry for about 30 years and they are some of the finest figures I have ever had the pleasure to paint. I think they are early Perry's design. |
| Royston Papworth | 05 Oct 2014 4:34 a.m. PST |
I am in the process of painting up the Vendal Reivers, really nice figures., really pleased with them… |
| FELDGRAU | 05 Nov 2014 6:18 a.m. PST |
My collection of that period has been made, mainly, with Vendel Elizabethan/Border Reivers range (now Sargeant Mayor), Foundry Swashbucklers range and Gamezone Empire. All of these manufacturers have figures of the same size and completly compatible. Note that Casting Room Miniatures on Ebay have a good number of packs of Elizabethans not released by Foundry. Also Old Glory have a very useful packs of figures for the Religions Wars, specially the figures of late Landsquenetes, some of the few figures in the market with pluderhosen!!! |
| DucDeGueldres | 10 Dec 2014 1:13 p.m. PST |
The Old Glory Wars of Religion Landsknechts in Pluderhosen are splendid figures and very rare.
A pity they only have musketeers and no arquebusiers, as musketeers were only used in small numbers in the days of the pluderhosen.
Also the figures are really big compared with the beautiful Foundry range. They fit better with the Vendel range. Although there are also gamers who don't care about size that much. |
