Title: New ECW Artillery crew and some WSS dismounted Dragoons!
Post by: Leon on 21 May 2017, 10:19:07 PM
Another couple of revamps for you here, ticking off another couple of items we've been wanting to upgrade for some time.  First we've got some new ECW artillery crewmen to replace the existing 2 poses (+ foot officer) so this gives a lot more variation.  And then we've got some better dismounted dragoons for our WSS/Marlburian range, as the current ones were done by a different sculptor and have never quite matched in style.  We've had a horse holder done as well, just for some extra options.

Great timing, I'm just planning an expansion on my WSS to add some Catalan regiments 8). When are they likely to become available?

Shouldn't be too long, these will get squeezed into a master mould when we've got a bit of space and then they can be sorted for release.  The artillery crews might be delayed slightly as we want to do some Scots crew as well.

How badly?  If you're needing them for next week then it's unlikely, if you wanted them by end of June then it might be doable?

Thanks Leon, but it sucks because I've just completed my ECW project - these will have to wait the TYW project.

Any news on the ECW crews?  I'd also be interested in the Scottish crews.

Still in the queue to be moulded, but in better news the Scottish crew will be arriving with us tomorrow so I'll get some photos of them up here.

Very good they look too.  Hope they'll be available before too long.  Any other additions/changes planned for the ECW range?

Nothing at the moment, it would be good to update the dismounted dragoons and peasants at some point but they're OK for now.

If you were looking for suggestions, those would be my first two.  An additional unarmoured Scottish pikeman could be useful as I think a relatively small proportion actually wore armour.

Nothing yet, one of the sculpts had plasticard on it so we need to put it into a low-temp mould instead.  We had a delivery of those last week so I'll be getting some stuff laid out ready for master moulding later this week.

Have you decided how the ECW artillery will be packaged once you have the new crews available?

It'll be a like-for-like replacement, so still 2 guns per pack with crews, limbers, horses, etc.

If you ask nicely the wonderful Pendraken team will provide the mix you want as a custom order for a very reasonable extra charge, http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,15349.0.html (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,15349.0.html)

Indeed, they're helpful in that way.  I had hoped that this range would move over to the way the LoA has separate packs for guns and gunners.  Apart from perhaps the lightest pieces. ECW artillery rarely seems to have moved on the field much after initial deployment.

They've been moulded but we've not announced them yet.  All ECW artillery packs should be going out with the new crews though.

Hi Leon,

I have all the guns I need, but would love some of the new crews. Can I make a 'special' order and get a quote?

No worries at all, drop me an email with what you need and we'll get them sorted out.
