Front Rank Miniatures - English Civil War Figures

After my previous post about our ECW game, several people expressed ignorance of the fact that Front Rank once upon a time had an ECW range, so I decided to pull a few of these old chaps out of their boxes for a little show and tell!

First up three different cavalry units, on the left a generic “Roundhead” unit (the very first ECW troops I painted circa 1992) in the centre the command stand for the Cuirassiers – Haselrigs Lobsters -  and on the right, more recently painted mounted dragoons.

Next three more cavalry types – floppy hat (Royalists) on the left, Pophams Horse (I think) based on an engraving in some church somewhere in England and the generic standard bearer on the right.

One of two artillery pieces I have

Three infantry stands showing some of the command and musketeer poses that were available

Dismounted dragoons who featured in the Friday night game

Three different regimental command stands showing most of the command options

Three different Parliamentarian regiment stands showing most of the pike options

Part of a Royalist regiment showing pikes and command

Command and musketeer figures from a Parliamentarian regiment

Three different Parliamentarian musketeer stands

Two senior commander figures

 

So that’s the lot – I presume that the sculptor at Front Rank withdrew these as they are not as dynamic as his later creations but to be honest, I always liked them and the pike pose of the guys standing with the pike straight up in the air is a more practical option for gaming than all the ones at present or push of pike
