Hi, I just saw an image on an excellent blog that I read (by Paul Robinson)
The caption states that the figures are by Footsore. When I went to the Footsore website the GNW figures are nowhere to be found and I was wondering if anybody here knows who has the ex-Footsore GNW range of figures now. Thanks in advance for any help. |

If you are looking for GNW miniatures, take a look at Ebor: link Paul Hicks sculpts which some would say are somewhat superior to Footsore… |

Thanks Travellera – I have a lot of the Ebor figures but it is specifically the figures in the image above I'm looking for. I think the gunners covering their ears and the guy shielding his face are lovely sculpts and look very 'natural'. |

These Swedish gunners are from the original Footsore GNW range which has been taken over by Wee Wolf Miniatures. Regretfully while they are offering the full original Infantry and Cavalry Sewedish and Russian range and they have also added Russian Grenadiers and mounted Russian and Swedish personalities (never relased by Footsore) they have not yet re released the artillery packs (one gun + 4 artillerymen /pack) but they promised they will soon. They also have the new marching Russian and Swedish marching infantry pack ready (sculpted by Footsore orignally but again necver released) for release. The Company owners is a very nice guy and he's making efforts to re release all the range figures. Service offered is very friendly and figures reasonably priced. Hope this helps |

They are originally Musketeer miniatures not footsore. I bought quite a few back when they were still musketeer miniatures, |
