Who makes early 16th cen Border Reivers? I was thinking Flodden era, roughly. Also, what was the typical kit of these men? The Osprey book on Renaissance Scottish armies lists just about anything under the sun: pistols, lances, crossbows, arquebuses, swords, with maybe a helmet and brigandine for protection. Also, who employed these men as mercenaries? I want to say that the english did sometimes, but did anyone else? |

Some served as mercenaries on the Irish side in the late Tudor wars. Otherwise in English or Scots armies but not as mercenaries. What scale do you want? |

I would start with TAG for 28mm, or someone like QRF for 15mm. (There are undoubtedly other manufacturers.) |

Vendel did some very nice ones. Others do too but 28mm is not my scale someone else should be able to help. |
