Thanks, Dave ! :)

No, Nobby...It won't be the collie.  ;D ;D

She IS a bit of a 'tomboy' though. Cocks her leg to have a pee, and does have the habit of trying to h*mp  my shin occasionally.  :o

What's the best rules for this period?  Just in case I ever get tired of bush wars !

I'm confused.  Are these guys going to be available to buy, or are they being sculpted for a private order?

I really hope we can buy them, they would "work" for the Italian wars!

The figures will be available to buy, its just not a planned Pendraken range.

A bit like an unplanned pregnancy   ;)

Seriously - I remember 1988 - there was a spate of demo wargames in 25mm to commemorate Spanish Armada and "what might have been invasion".   Lots of Tudor era houses for scenery and perhaps a few 1/144 or near enough ships/galleons.

What rules are recommended for the period?

I'm a big fan of Irregular Wars, don't need huge numbers of figures for a force, gives a good fun game, with lots of friction.

Thanks Fred, I will check it out.  These figures would also be useful for Border Reiver type games and raids.

That they would.

Irregular Wars is aimed at the large skirmish / small battle size of game so good for this sort of raid.

Excellent news!  Fills a couple more gaps for Spanish in the Italian wars!

I can feel another Fernando Enterprises painting order and huge Pendraken order coming on...

On that point, are there any 10mm pele towers or border type bastles in resin ?

The glaring gap now is a generic early sixteenth century unarmoured pike set with a few different hat types, for French, Italian, french etc, or just filling the ranks with the armoured figures at the front.

ER10 Early  C16th European pikemen are a terrific little pack. Some of the Scots pike, Landsknecht pike and late medieval armoured and unarmoured pike can be added to the mix to produce some great looking French/Italian and Spanish pike units.

I can second ER10, they're very handy!
