Dear TMP Friends!
The first miniatures of our new range of French for the Thirty Years War in 28mm are now available. This first batch of new releases includes a series of French cavalry, made up of a specific command group and charging figures, equipped with armor and buff coats, pistols and swords, and with the chapeau d'arme, a metallic hat-shaped helmet typical of the French army, and of course, their characteristic mustaches and long hair. These miniatures can also be combined with our current cavalry references with helmets and hats, also fully in use in the French army of the Thirty Years War.
This new release will be followed by a series of marching French infantry: pikemen with and without armor, with helmets and hats, and musketeers (at this time, the arquebusiers had ceased to exist and muskets would soon be lightened to dispense with the fork) with the characteristic equipment and clothing that we have found in the sources of the period: long coats, wide trousers with a cylindrical leg, wide-brimmed hats and hunting caps, etc. And of course, the long-awaited artillery.
