Re: New Ebor Miniatures battalion

Lovely figures and far more attractive than FR. But it would be nice if there were some head variations to the line infantry figs.

I thought that was the Welsh regiments???
Both guilty but the Welsh were amateurs and ended up with the ugly ewes.

Yes, trust the Scots to prefer the rams to the ewes!

Hi Nick,

Interesting new book and the stuff on the Ottomans and Russians sounds fascinating too.

I checked the link above and the Marlburians looked alright to me. Are you sure you weren't shown the "Beastmen" instead?

Iain, would this mean that our well-loved "redcoats" wore grey-white just like the French and Dutch when they were at Blenheim?

Gentlefolk. I have just realised that I have boobed! Mark Copplestone's figures represent the armies of 1665 to 1680 and I have painted some as the Irish brigade which, obviously, were not around at that time. Now, I quite like the look of my wee men and it was only the release of the cavalry in bu...

Stupid question - was it buff coloured or dyed in different colours?

The excerpt is particularly interesting in the description of the armament. Flintlocks in the late 1680's and no pikes or chevaux de frises! Was this a widespread issue for the period (as opposed to 20 years later)? Or were the Hugos supposed to be artillery guards or back up formations (like Gustav...

Iain has done quite a lot of research to suggest that the pike was retained by the Maritime Powers until about 1707. Interesting point in that there is not only the change in style of hat and the transition from matchlock to flintlock, but also the replacement of the 12 apostles by cartridges and ca...
