Hello All. Just a quick note to say I've added the photos of the new SYW French and Ancient Persians to the crusaderminiatures.com site. I've also added a...
Hi there, I just thought I'd mention that there ARE SYW French without turnbacks on the desk but it was far easier from a sculpting point of view to do the...
Hi all! I'm starting to build some small forces for this period, focusing in the early years of the war. But I need some help in some details: wich lists are...
Thanks. Here's what I see as the pros and cons of adding thorakitai. 1) They would be easy (I think). All that is needed is the theureophoroi figures you...
I'd have 5 packs or so, too. They might have been very numerous in the Seleucid army, if the troops in the parade at Daphne were Thorakitae rather than...
You could probably argue that they are effectively the same thing anyway.... The same figure with a larger shield (if you want - it's debatable whether you'd...
I would use the same figures for imitation legionaries, just giving the legionaries a pilum rather than a long spear. So add one more reason for doing them -...
I reckon scratch a thorakitae, and find an imitation legionary, too! At least in a Seleucid army. Do the Thorakitae and some cataphracts, and with the...
Hi Big Hagar, That is a really good question regarding the painting, but I see you have already got lots of good answers from TMP.I face the same choices and...
Mark, The project for my SYW Prussians may take a couple of years to complete. Can you assure me that Crusader will be manufacturing these superb soldiers...
British grenadiers and dismounted dragoons (or some other light troop) would be absolutely terrific. Just my 2 cents. On Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 10:35 AM,...
We ought to be getting pretty close now. Mark, didn't you say something about posting a list of what you plan to release? How soon until we see the first...
Just wondering if anyone has used Crusader with 2-3 players per side? Is it best to just do one unit at a time, or split the table into sectors and have...

Salivating.... I think the thracians had both light cav with javelins and light cav with bows (Getae?). I'd like to see both. And will there be a noble ...
Great news re the Thracians. Are they roughly the same size as the Foundry range? Cheers, Simon ______________________________________________________ See...

Hi James! Glad to found someone interested in this period as well! I've started painting the models. I will use "generic" colours for both sides and have a few...
Hi Big Hagar, Oh yeah I am a medieval nut. My own HYW armies are in a sorry state though, one of those abandoned projects...I will sort it out someday soon. ...
One more thing I thought of for the thracians. It might be nice to have a camp scene pack like your marching camp for the romans. I'm not sure it really...
I have posted some pictures of the 60 figure Prussian cuirassier regiment No. 10, the Gens d'armes, on my Der Alte Fritz blog. These are all Crusader...
Hello everyone. If you've ever thought about getting a WW2 British Army, now is the time to get one. I've added three of my special 'one week only' deals, all...
... I also would be highly interested in some kind of camp scene! This could also be useful for WAB scenario's, next to FOG. Oh, and I'm really looking forward...
