Help! Figure Identification needed
Anyone got any ideas which manufacturer these figures are from? They are 28mm ECW.TYW cavalry, and the rider is cast together with the saddle. I bought them 2nd hand, and have got 10 of them but need 12 - but I'm not sure where to look ! Any ideas just drop me a line at the usual address....

Warlord Games Renaissance Figures
I'm part way through painting some Warlord Games 28mm plastic ECW figures as TYW Imperialists - first up is a Spanish Tercio. Here's a sneak peak at a unit that might feature in a battle report later this year.

Pics of new Xyston Spanish and casualties
Xyston have sent me a few samples of their latest releases - an ancient Spanish range and some Greek hoplite casualties. As usual the figures have the cleanly cast, angular look of Xyston's typical style, but in a new innovation (to me) some of the Spanish have been cast with separate arms to allow greater variety in sword poses
The figures are not as huge as some Xyston ranges - maybe a concession to compatibility with other ranges, but the Spanish would still struggle to mix well with Corvus Belli's market-leading set.
It will be interesting to see if the casualty figures are a one-off, or whether Xyston will be building a range to compete with Donningtons large range of dead guys - but starting with hoplites must be a good idea, as I;ve always found that protected spearmen get disrupted very easily!
