People have probably noticed, but new releases for Pike and Shotte, artillery!:

Why?

One of the uniforms has its buttons on the left side or some other historical butchery?

Every chance you get.......

I'd definatley buy these, but there are just too many muskets compared to the pikes...

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #81 on:** April 21, 2009, 08:20:32 AM »

Clearly a backwater child. Too many guns? Bah.

Merrick · « **Reply #82 on:** April 21, 2009, 08:25:15 AM »

We need no muskets.

We fight with CANNON!

Cannon alone cannot win

Nice cannon , i got a free mini of the ECW muskeeter from Wargames Illustrated . Noot bad but snall in to comapriosn with GW figs . Put it on a GW base and looks ok .

Definitely may start a ECW army using WH ECW rules could easily get a 1-2k army with three boxes and a couple of cannon for the roundgeads New Model army .

All the oldbeards at my club sneer at the thought of Warhammer English Civil War. Which is a shame, as I'd like to try it. Apparently it's too simple, but hell, doesn't stop it being fun.

One problem with that ruleset is hailshot. Insanely powerful. Grapeshot always at strength 6 and moves d6 inches (and anyone touched while it moves is hit on a 4+).

My ribauldequin in my HYWEnglish at strength 4 was nasty enough.

Don't be stupid

Edit: "Silly" wasn't strong enough.

There's not much reason to buy their metal stuff though. Not as long as Perry Miniatures exist.

Quote from: Midaski

I don't think they'll mix and match with existing GW troops.

Good! It would look stupid.

scarletsquig · « **Reply #89 on:** April 28, 2009, 07:14:47 PM »

That cannon would be pretty good as a DoW cannon.

If it's around £5, I'll get a couple.

If nothing else, it'll be a good source of plastic wheels for conversions.

Edit: Oh, wait, it's resin not plastic. Never mind.

Their metal stuff is pretty uninspiring. Goofy looking, in some cases.

I got the marcus aureius figure which is a very nice figure, though tiny and wee

I also have an ancient british dog handler and 3 mastiffs, they are very nice figures, well worth the effort.

patsy02 · « **Reply #92 on:** April 29, 2009, 12:59:29 PM »

I changed my mind, I'm gonna buy some. The models are just too damn awesome, I can convert some of the muskets into pikes, and just add a bit of puff and slash. Just one question: Is there any difference between the parliamentarian and royalist boxes in terms of bits? They don't look very different.

warhammerlord_soth · « **Reply #93 on:** April 29, 2009, 02:14:59 PM »

There isn't.

They come with different (paper) flags, that's all.

Ho looks OK.

I'm shopping around trying to find some suitable "high command" figures for a 1st century BC Roman army and saw this. Looks like a Roman Hobbit on a pony. :/

I previously missed the mastiffs. Nice looking figures. I'd been looking at the Vendel mastiffs before, but don't know where to get them in the US. I'll have to look into the Warlord figures....

Like I said 023, Marcus Aurelius, great figure, looks like a hobbit on a pony.

Can you reccomend someone that does nice psuedo medieval/dark ages villagers?

Old Glory have an entire range of "Revolting Peasants" plus possibly some other civilians mixed in with other ranges.

The Warlord toys are sensational.
Maybe GW should get Paul Hicks to do the next Empire foot troops.
His Victrix Napoleonics are being given the same lavish worship as the perry's.

The pistol would win. The chance of one man loading and firing cannon and hitting anything is tiny
