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!"
As promised, here are a few shots of the new Mercenaries, European Infantry 1450-1500.
I'll put up photos of the two frames later and a list of what is on them. One of the photos shows the 40 figures contained in the box, with a few of the pike arms converted into halbardiers from the polearm heads supplied. There is a fair amount of variety of arm/weapon choice, allowing you to make up to 18 pikemen, up to twelve crossbowmen, and up to twelve handgunners plus four command. In addition, there are twelve pavises, 15 bucklers/targes, drum arms, two-handed sword arms, and swords in scabbards. There will also be a choice of 26 European banners supplied.
The idea of the box is to form the bulk of a number European armies of the period, in conjunction with plastic WR1 Wars of the Roses Infantry already available.
The box can now be pre-ordered (by putting in a normal order) and is £18.00 GBP plus P&P, the code is WR 20. Money will only be taken on day of shipping, which should be the second week in December.
The figures are 28mm hard plastic.
