The Assault Group Tudor Range - 2013

Not a follower of facebook, but a fellow Gamer Aiteal sent me the following from the Assault Group's facebook page... An exciting year in 2013 if Stretch Goal five can be reached ..... 

Irish....
Is this the range to trump all other manufacturers?
Still plenty of other castings in the other kick starter pools to bolster the ranks of any Elizabethan Generals.



"On Facebook, Pete from The Assault group outlined the plan for the above. Here is the list and his thoughts: "OK, this is the way that it is rolling with the Tudors. Nick is working on the range now… We plan a full range of English and French minis, which will be ready for release in March or April or 2013. We plan to use Kick starter to promote the range, as present we haven’t seen a full range of wargames minis promoted in this way so hopefully we can spark peoples interest by using the KS as well as reach people who we wouldn't normally get to with our normal releases. When we get to announcing the Kick starter properly we will have the English minis done and the French minis almost complete, so we will be able to deliver on these swiftly, no waiting around lick some KS’s I could mention, but we want the KS crowd to push us into adding more nations for this mid-century period, so the stretch goals will include Germans, Scot and Irish, as well as a few other little treats I have up my sleeve."

"Ok, these are the 'Stretch Goals' for our Kickstarter, as you may or may not know these things don't get made unless the goals are reached/exceeded, so we need to get people excited to get ALL these minis made. Plus although we will plan to have the English and French ready to roll at the point the KS is announced, these minis will take time to deliver, 6 months for the Germans and another 6 for the Scots and Irish, sorry about that, but we (Nick) makes these things by hand and eye, and as you may already know if you are a long term TAG customer, it is NOT a quick process."

I also spotted these on the Crusader Miniatures Medieval Range Irish Skirmishers they look more than passable and certainly more a kin to the Warlord and Foundry castings I already have.
Looks like the postman will be busy......

  1. I don't think the period has ever seen a more complete range of figures created for it, especially if you include the Spanish and Italian miniatures already in the range.

    While logically the French should have come first, as they link the existing figures for the 'Italian Wars' to the English/Scots, I'm tempted to think that the English and Scots will be the 'draw' for many wargamers... in the UK at least.

    1. Jim I could not agree more, when you consider the number of minor wars for Henry and Elizabeth the figure coverage is rather lacking so far.
