Dears

I try to find miniatures for french "Mousquetaires du Roi" like 3 Musketers.

15mm, end of 17th century, flat hat, tabard like these :

http://www.essexminiatures.co.uk/collec ... cts/ren101

bust on horses with pistols and also on feet with musket, enseign,

Does somebody know a manufacturer for that (if possible mixable with Essex) ?

Does somebody know the exact unit and uniform of troops commanded by Monmouth at Maestrich in 1673 ? (when the actual d'Artagan die)

Thank you

Best regards

Xavier

Thank you

I know these ones in fact the Cardinal guards could be a last solution but I prefer pistols and muskets for the use I have.

I am also afraid they could be bigger than Essex

THAT was what I was trying to think of. I went 'Black Hat' but it was 'blue moon'

They match pretty well with Essex. And they are super cool!
