Hi, I'm pondering raising some 16th century armies in 10mm. I just discovered that there are some decent old figures here to do most of the troop types I'm after mixed throughout the Elizabethan, ECW, medieval (for the Irish) and early 16th century Scots.

1) How compatible in terms of height and heft are the ranges?

2) I have the feeling that the Elizabethan range (except the pikemen) is all single sculpts - is that about right?

3) Irish pike could be done with EC2 (ECW unarmoured pike). Any suggestions on the best figures to run as Irish shot?

4) Anyone have any pictures of the following 16th C. Scots:
ER3 Highlander, 2 handed sword, mail
ER5 Scots pikemen, short pike
ER9 Scots pikemen

or ECW artillery:
EC6 Light guns with limbers, horses and crew

or late medieval:
ELM24b General std bearer piper (18)
ELM27 Mounted longbow
ELM37 Monks
ELM40 Scots highlanders

Many thanks for all and any assistance!

The Hume and Huntly pic has ER3 at rear right.  Generals and pipers are there as well.
No short pike guys, just the pavisiers.
Other pikemen are all over the place.
The bowmen BTW are ER4.

Is the Scots version of EC6.

Hope this is of some help. :)

Yup, one pose and all 40mm frontage.  There's an odd-ball pikeman, I've used them as standard bearers.  He's the guy holding the pike upright and wearing a steel pot helmet.  I don't remember which pack he's part of, ER9 or ER10 Leon should be able to find out.
