I just received the following email from Pete Dalby - good news for anyone who likes Testudo miniatures! 
His 30YW / ECW figures are arguably the best available in  15mm.  They are to Renaissance what Xyston are to Ancients.   If you’ve not seen  them before I’ve created albums on Photobucket where you can see the figures in  all their glory.
In bringing these figures to the UK market I have looked at  the pricing of similar quality figures – Xyston, Corvus Belli, Venexia, Mirliton  etc – all of which are at the top end – versus the staple of the UK wargaming  scene – Essex.
The good news is that my prices will only be pennies more  than Essex per figure – and cheaper than all of the other manufacturers I’ve  mentioned.
If you’re playing or collecting in this period – you deserve  to have figures of this quality – so treat yourself.
This is a new venture for me and initially I will not have a  website.  I am just about to place my first bulk order and it would be great to  hear from you on what figures and volumes you might be interested in with no  obligation.  Please email me at peterdalby@talktalk.net   If you are  interested in the other Testudo ranges please let me know.
You can view the full Testudo range at their own website  here:
My prices per pack will be as follows:
Foot (10 figs) - £3.60
Foot Command (12 figs) - £5.20
Horse (5 figs & 5 horses) - £4.00
Horse Command (6 figs & 6 horses) - £5.20
Personalities (5 figs & 5 horses) - £5.20
Artillery (2 guns & 6 figs) - £6.00
Pack of 40 – 50mm wire pikes - £3.60
All packs contain a mix of poses.  Pikemen do not come with  pikes.
The only other cost to you will be UK postage which will be  via Royal Mail and commensurate with the weight of your order.  I will invoice  you via Paypal.
If you’re still not convinced check out these photos from  Mark Kernan of TheOneTree painting service – all using Testudo  figures.
I hope to hear from you soon – go on – you know you’re worth  it!
Cheers
Pete"
