Title: Thirty year's war french cavalry
Post by: hetairoi on 16 March 2016, 09:50:54 AM
After falling in love with Bradpitre´s french army I´ve decided to do my own army, also using Tercios ruleset, but with the original size for bases (duplicating the number of figures)  :D

I have some doubts about what cavalry models will choose...

Mounted arquebusiers
YW2 (need picture)
YW4 (need picture)
EC9 (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ProductImages/nEC9.JPG)

Cuirassiers
YW3 (need picture)
EC10 (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ProductImages/nEC10.JPG)
EC11 (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/ProductImages/nEC11.JPG)

What do you recommend me?

And would also like to know wich code are these:

The first image is the old EC11 code I believe, but these have been discontinued now.  

The second picture is a mix of the current EC10 and EC11 figures, with the EC10 officer (with sword cut off).

The final picture is figures from EC9:

YW2, is at the back - longer gun, rested on thigh, floppy hat.

YW4, are the guys in red at the right - guns held low in right hand, croat / balkan clothing

YW3, are the ones nearest the camera, to the left, armour, open face helmet, large pistols

The ones in the middle row are generally not Pendraken.
