'First Look' at the new League of Augsburg range!

Great miniatures, that's what I've been waiting for!

Are we going to have Marching and Advancing poses?

One can easily get advancing grenadiers in cloth cap - doing the head swap with grenadiers in bearskins.
... and save Clib's precious time for cavalry.

Great idea for those of us who feel confident to do things like that! 

Personally I don't, so I will wait in expectation.

I'll probably convert the marching flintlock men into grenadiers once some cavalry are done.
What do you mean by "advancing"?

[Chad]

Muskets pointed to the front as opposed to over the shoulder

As a long time aficianado of the 1670-90s these minis are superb. I do wish the latest Grenadiers were more of a storming party - carrying fascines, lighting and throwing grenades etc.

Are there any huge authenticity issues with using these LOA pikemen/matchlock figures for the English Civil War?

Coats are much too long and cuffs too wide IMO.

Now that you point it out, I have to agree.  I don't think they would pass muster as ECW.

The old ECW range isnt that bad you know, take a look at them on Nik Harwoods pages.

The latest batch of LoA has arrived at Pendraken HQ, so we'll be getting these moulded up asap!

[Sandinista]

Any cavalry amongst them?

[Leon]

Nope, it's the firing and grenadier figures pictured a couple of pages back in this thread, with the scythemen.  I've got April's releases roughly planned out already, but I'll see if we can sneak these in as well.

[Wkeyser]

Hi Leon
That is great, will they be in time for Salute preordres?

Hopefully, I'll let everyone know as soon as I can.

A preview of some more figures on the way. These pics are way too big, but anyway;

Dismounted French Dragoons in cloth caps




Artillerists






Kneeling Flintlock and Matchlock musketeers
