Medieval Warfare VII.3 with Tournaments and jousting in the Middle Ages.

Steven Mulhberger leads our issue that looks at the the rise of tournaments and jousts, from their beginnings as ‘bloodless battles’ to the events which were more theatre than sport. We will be covering tournaments from Byzantium to the Holy Roman Empire, and feature the famous Combat of the Thirty.

New ECW Artillery Crew & WSS Dismounted Dragoons by Pendraken Miniatures

Another couple of revamps for you here, ticking off another couple of items we've been wanting to upgrade for some time.  First we've got some new ECW artillery crewmen to replace the existing 2 poses (+ foot officer) so this gives a lot more variation.  And then we've got some better dismounted dragoons for our WSS/Marlburian range, as the current ones were done by a different sculptor and have never quite matched in style.  We've had a horse holder done as well, just for some extra options.

Revamped 1860 Austrian Jager / Grenzer by Pendraken Miniatures

We had a bit of space in the sculpting schedule last month, so we got the Austrian Jager and Grenzer figures revamped.  These were the final codes in that range needing an upgrade so that completes those now and we can move away from the 1860's for a while!
