Range - XVI Century Renaissance

A mid size range with 9 mounted and 12 foot figures. They were often featured in George Gush's long running Renaissance Armies series in Airfix Magazine 1972-4 (although figures from Warrior were at least equally prominent).

I have only sketchy coverage of this range and some pictures have been taken from the Airfix magazine series or from the S Range catalogue. If anyone is able to provide pictures of any of the remaining figures I would be glad to hear from you.

There are also two figures mounted figures I have which may have come from this range. if anyone could identify them I would be grateful.

The first figure is identified in Airfix Magazine as a Border Horseman but I have not been able to identify this against any figure in this or other S Range series (medieval or Thirty Years War).





The second figure is an armoured knight or lancer.

XVI Century Renaissance Range

These pictures come courtesy of Dr Richard Barbrook, and form part of his set for playing the Situationist Guy Debord's Game of War (some information is posted on Vintage Wargaming). They show Hapsburg and Ottoman troops. I can't remember seeing so many of these elsewhere in one place, unless it was in George Gush's Renaissance Armies articles in Airfix Magazine.

I have some of the other figures in this range and will post listings and pictures of them in due course.
