So what next in 15mm?

Post by petedalby »

As Christian's Highlanders are coming close to completion, he's looking for ideas on what to produce next in 15mm.

I've suggested a Croat command and some additional personalities to complement the existing Testudo range but what would you like to see?

Either additions or an entire new range.

Please either PM me or send me an email - peterdalby@talktalk.net

Cheers
Pete

Late 16th century infantry and cavalry would be nice (french wars of religion huguenots and catholics)

Late 16th Century figures are indeed a huge gap, in particular just about no one makes proper cavalry wearing the cassock which was typical of the period. Most of the few figs which do have it are sculpted with a garment based on the 17th infantry cassock which is the wrong size and shape. (Due to a erronous picture in an osprey)

The cassock was retained in use even as the Gendarmes & Lancers turned themselves into pistol armed Cuirassiers

The addition of Scots cavalry and artillery in addition to the Highlanders is welcome, but what about Lowland Command in bonnets and Dragoons ? They could be done with headswaps from the existing Command and Dragoon figures, which nice figures though they are, aren't quite accurate enough for my tastes.

Ditto. The Cavalry in Cassock looks like it would be very colorful on the table. Tired of dull old 3/4 Blackened Armors.

Would those 'French' figures be suitable for the low countries? Spanish and Dutch? or are they wearing something else again?

I like the Ottomans with firearms idea.

Would it be cynical of me to suggest that we might be seeing some Battle Wagons? :twisted:
