I recently purchased some 18mm WSS from Eureka Miniatures USA. When first browsing the different figure descriptions and code numbers I noticed that they didn't correspond with the WSS Catalonia types from the Eureka main website in Australia. I just received them today (excellent AA++ service from Rob, BTW) and comparing them to the pictures of the Catalonians from Eureka Australia they ARE different. Eureka Australia has the WSS Catalonians but not these Spanish WSS; Eureka USA has the Spanish but not the Catalonians!?! Anybody else notice this while browsing the two different sites? |

I took some shots of the different poses I purchased:
(300WSS001) Mounted General
(300WSS101) Spanish line, advancing
(300WSS102) Spanish line, firing/loading
(300WSS103) Spanish, officer
(300WSS104) Spanish, drummer
(300WSS105) Spanish, standard bearer
(300WSS106) Spanish, NCO
(300WSS108) Spanish Grenadiers, throwing grenades

I think that general is going to find his way into a lot of WSS armies! Nice to see a manufacturer taking note of what the first "S" in WSS stands for, and making figures for what is probably the most widely ignored of the major armies of this conflict. |

"I think that general is going to find his way into a lot of WSS armies!" Yeah, it's a real dandy (29mm from the base of the hooves to the top of the horses head). |

Here's some comparison shots of 4 different companies WSS horse/cavalry castings 15-18mm ranges: left to right Minifigs, Blue Moon, Black Hat and Eureka. link |

Those do look great. I posted already on the Catalonians thread but got no help there… can you give an idea of how a unit of these should be made up? What figures do you need in one battalion? |

Minifigs is really small, compared to the others.
And even Blue Moon looks small against Black Hat and Eureka. I have mainly Venexia for the period, but have no idea how they compare to any of the others. |

"can you give an idea of how a unit of these should be made up?" Wish I could help but I don't know anything about WSS Spanish/Catalonian unit organization. Are you specifically wanting to do Spanish? |

Here's another shot of some of the different 15-18mm WSS Infantry. Missing are Khurasan and Lancashire. Lancashire are giants compared to those pictured (actually closer to 20mm). link |

Whoops, I don't think that photobucket link works. If you go to their site and look up my page: Ranfred, you should be able to see the infantry comparison pic. |
