ECW units - horse

I recently accquired two large lots of S range figures at a very good price, which included a large number of ECW figures, along with others. The first lot mainly contained pikemen and artillerymen while the second lot from the same seller provided a large number of cavalry.

In a number of posts which follow are pictures of those figures I have refurbished so far. They comprise a good proportion of the figures in theS range  ECW list.

This post kicks off with two units of Royalist Horse, including figures ECWC 1s Cavalier, ECWC 6s Royalist Horse Trumpeter, and ECWS 1s English Civil War General. There are a couple of figures whose swords have been converted to pistols.

Then some pictures of individual figures

ECWS 1s English Civil War General

The Parliamentarian horse units are currently under refurbishment and I will add some pictures when they are completed.

ECW units - cuirassiers

Here are two Cuirassier units. The first are early one piece castings while the second unit uses figures which I think have come from the Thirty Years War range.

ECW units - rabble

With a couple of the later Minifigs in the last row, this is a useful assembly of rabble, militiia, villagers or clubmen. The majority of figures are either ECW 8s or 9s. i think they look rather well together.

ECW Pikemenn

A variety of pikemen were included in the recent purchase of a large lot of S Range figures.

It can be difficult to identify exactly which figure is which from the lsits, and I also wonder whether one or two of these typrs are not the earlier Minifigs 20mm figures. I am posting photos below of the major types from this collection which I have refurbished so far.

i will try to do some further work with old cataloguues to see if any of these are pictured and can be identified.

ECW Units

Here are a couple of units which have been painted for a couple of weeks, but which I have only just got round to photographing. Firdt up the hoi polloi - peasants with scythes and pitchforks. I'm thinking these could be generic ad hoc rural infantry and could be usable for other periods as well



Next up a large armoured infantry regiment.





I've also posted some pictures of another (non S Range) unit over on the Old Metal Detector. Pikemen and officer are Warrior, I'm sure: the identity of the musketeers is less certain.
