I'd like to see a few marching shot with musket shouldered poses.

Thanks!

I may be a bit late to jump on the band wagon but I agree that the ECQ could do with a bit of an addition. :) Pikemen with empty hands would be something I'd greatly welcome. Cavalry models look fine to me but I wouldn't mind seeing more of them of course, especially lighter cavalry and maybe some commander models. I know that these are less cost effective to make and sell so not too much urgency on that. Musketeers are fine as well, just some more hats would be great in the way that the reloading musketeers almost always wear those knit woolen hats which doesn't look so great in TYW Imperial Catholic ranks. Speaking of which, some musketeers holding the muskets across their chests would be great for the ranks behind the first,

We're having a bit of a think on some of these points, but we won't have the time available to do all of them.  I'll see what we can get done.

ECQ? English Civil Quarrel, I suppose?

Would definitely like to see cavalry remodelled as horses are too small on most, especially the Cuirassier and Cavalryman with hat. Maybe even a Cuirassier in the Thirty Years war range sporting a Zischagge helmet. Open-handed pikeman also a good idea as currently more spear than pike-like.

I really like the current range, look great painted and based. I will post some piccies shortly of my now finished armies, not back in work until wednesday so should have time...

Well, the king was only there to lend tone to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.  ;)

Damn your eyes, Sirs! :D I meant ECW of course!

Blame my lack of specific knowledge on this minor historical incident while there were actually world-moving events going on in Europe around that time. ;)

Well said, Sugur. One must put them in the their place from time to time.  :>

How about some dead infantry and cavalry figures.  Also wounded figures for infantry and cavalry for markers.
Some personalities would be nice; a few suggestions could be,
For the Royalist Army
Charles 1st
Prince Rupert
William Cavendish (Earl of Newcastle)
Sir Ralph Hopton
Colonel Ruthin
Lord George Goring
Spencer Compton (2nd Earl of Northampton)
Patrick Ruthven (Earl of Forth)
For the Parliament Army
Oliver Cromwell
Thomas Fairfax
Robert Devereux (3rd Earl of Essex)
Edward Montagn (2nd Earl of Manchester)
Sir William Waller
Robert Greyville (2nd Baron Brooke)
Henry Grey (1st earl of Stamford)
Just a few ideas :)
