Title: Are there any mounted crossbows suitable for early renaissance stuff?
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 10 November 2015, 12:06:14 AM
What Ho chaps!
Any ideas about the above? Mounted crossbows, preferably armoured, livery late medieval or early renaissance?
If so, anyone got a photo?
Cheers
ML

Hello ML

The only mounted crossbows are ELM23. Probably what you're after.

I thought I heard my name :D

Cheers - they're a nice pair of mini's, paint up very well. Handy for conversion to mounted arquebusier as well ;)

Your pics seem to have dropped off the Pendraken website http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ELM23-p2862/ (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ELM23-p2862/), I had to scrounge around to get these.

Thanks for letting me know!

I *think* it might have been a Faceache link and Faceache had changed the URL for the piccy? I've directly uploaded it this time so unless Disqus does some "house cleaning" and clears it, then it should be fine... he says, hopefully...

I don't suppose you noticed if any others have gone?!

Cheers anyway :D

I checked the landsknecte guns and something else I can't remember and they were fine, so unless anyone says I'll assume they're ok ;)
