proves himself a fan of splintered oars, crashing beakheads, and drummers yelling "come'mon, you scurves! The Captain wants to go water skiing, so pull harder!"
Did I mention we aren't doing an English Civil War range?
Yes?
But, occasionally, we do what our customers ask for, and recently we have been persuaded to make these two new packs of miniatures, which can really only be used for English Civil War armies.
The triple-bar helmet is most associated with the English Harquebusier cavalry of the 1640s, a lightened form of the heavier Cuirassiers dominant on the continent. Harquebusiers were the predominant cavalry type of the Parliamentarian army after 1643 as used by the 'Eastern Association', and later the New Model Army; and although they became synonymous with the 'Roundhead' faction, they could equally be found in 'Cavalier' units.
We have six new mounted miniatures to show here, as well as one new Freebie Miniature, a pious trooper praying. All have the triple-bar helmets, except for the command group's trumpeter, which we intend to cast in one piece on the miniature. These cavalrymen will be mounted on our medium-sized, charging horses.
