looks at a multi-period building.We are very pleased to release our latest 15mm historical range, the Renaissance Irish from the 16th Century.
This period culminated in the cataclysmic Tyrone's Rebellion, which was a disaster first for the English and then for the Irish. Only by great national effort was Elizabeth able to put down this rebellion, but once she did, all of Ireland fell under English rule for over 300 years.
Although these armies always contained traditional, essentially medieval elements, such as light cavalry, lightly-armed native Irish infantry, and heavily armoured Galloglaich axemen, later in the century, these forces also contained pikemen and arquebusiers, many of whom had experience fighting in the Spanish armies on the continent.
The line is complete and contains the following:
Native Irish Warriors
Native Irish Pikemen
Native Irish Arquebusiers
Native Irish or "Redshanks" Archers
Irish Foot Command (Chieftain, Piper, Standardbearer and Galloglaich Leader)
Galloglaich in Chainmail
Galloglaich in Aketon
Redshanks or New Scots Mercenaries with Claymore
Native Irish Armored Horse
Native Irish Unarmored Horse
Irish Mounted Command (king, standardbearer, and priest)
The shields on the armored cavalry and the native Irish foot warriors are separate – some of the shields have javelins cast on them. Pikes, cavalry spears, and standard poles are separate and provided.
