Bloody Miniatures ECW

Well what a treat! I saw a YouTube post about this new range of ECW figures and I jumped on them. Turns out they ran out of stock in their first week, I knew this would happen after seeing the figures so I placed an order as fast as I could. They are restocking as fast as possible and there will be another launch of four packs of figures later this year.


Here we can see a line up of rogues. Warlord Games, Essex, Foundry, 1st Corps, Bloody Miniatures x2, Renegade drummer, Redoubt, Bicorne. All the usual suspects...

For those gamers and collectors who have chosen the larger Bicorne, Renegade and Redoubt ranges, these figures are a must. Nick Collier also sculpted the Renegade and Bicorne ranges so these new additions match style and scale perfectly.
Nicely presented too with blood red tissue paper, nice touch.
I bought the complete set of all four packs (16 figures) for £30 .Check them out online to see the packs, dismounted cavalry troopers are among my favourites. They are not the cheapest range out their, I think I worked them out at £1.80 a figure, but I see them as a little ECW treat as there’s not very many. Also they are pretty glorious.








I have always had a soft spot for lobster pots, so I think these dismounted troopers are my favourite. I’m looking forward to seeing what other ranges come out this year. They know all the rank and file troops have been catered for with other companies, so they’re have to cover the specialists and less known units. I’m thinking grenades... 
The range ( so far) contains packs of four sword armed fighters, four pole arms fighters, dismounted troopers and four guys with pistols. The whole range is basically a close quarters fighting body, perfect for getting up close and personal. 

These came at the right time for me as I was starting to put together a storming party/forlorn hope and I think that’s what these figures are intended for. One of the packs is actually called Forlorn hope. I did buy the warlord Games storming party of dismounted troopers, but they are very small, even compared to their plastics. So I think these guys will become the new assault units.

I am awaiting mine; I ordered as soon as I saw them. I already have a solo scenario in mind they would be perfect for...

I bought these too. I think they are wonderful figures and so useful.
