Also, what is the difference between royalist and parliamental Minis? The sprue shown on the warlords site is the same in both cases.
It is the same sprue as has been said with different box and leaflet /flags.
The other main point is the hats.
The bodies have the head on with long hair, but a sort of domed hairless head ( I know the feeling
) and there are loads of different hats, so you have enough to make them look Parliamentarian or Cavalier.
There are a couple of morions also as I have used in my pics.
I suspect some of the other 'boxes' also have the same sprues and include 'bonnets' so they can be the Scots Covenantors.
They also sell metal hats on sprues of 4 and you can get 10 sprues for £3.00, so I have bought around 120 morions so I can give all mine a conquistador / estalian feel.
Indeed I plan to make up several units - painted in different colours which I can use altogether as a Estalian merc style army or split up to play ECW or 30 Years War historical rules sets.
With the Perry plastic figures having a slightly earlier period look, I want to try combining them with my older Bretonnian infantry which I think should achieve a more unified look.
Again one large army which could be Empire and then split for Medieval historical rules.
I have a fair few Foundry metal Norse/Vikings/Saxons which I hope to mix up with the Gripping Beast plastic Hirdmen, and possibly the Wargames Factory Vikings.
Flexibility from your minis - that's what we want
So far I've managed to avoid the Romans/Celts/Gauls era, with just one box of Warlord Celts infantry - which I reckon I can mix in withthe Vikings
