Not much to show yet, but thought I'd pop a quick pic up of the first couple of new ECW cavalry revamps that came through this month.  There'll be a whole load more next month, aand then we can work out some estimates on when these will be ready for release.

Lovely figures!  But, is it just me, or does the one in Burgonet look very, very similar  to YW3???

Good question Nosher.

I need some more recruits to bulk out my forces. Have already decided to wait for the new horses, so could also try to be patient of the foot are being redone.....

We might look at doing a couple of extra poses, but not a full revamp, and maybe an open-hand version of the pikemen?

These look good.

Why do the horses have the peg down the middle, like an extra leg? Is this for aiding casting, because not all do?

It's a feed to help the casting, with the horse belly being a big expanse of metal, it can be tricky to get the metal to flow up the legs, and then around to fill that space.  The peg in the middle allows the metal to flow directly into the gap, meaning less miscasts.

Nice ECW revamps, I wonder if TYW could get the same treatment?... although I would conform with musketeers loading and advancing.  :-\

Teasing that peg out before undercoating is one of the more irritating jobs in this hobby. I know it's necessary; just whinging.

Hi

Any new poses would be good as I had to buy a few packs of minifigs cav to give a bit of variety to the cavalry
