In a few weeks Khurasan Miniatures will be releasing 1690s troops in 15mm — this is basically the period of the Nine Years War (sometimes ponderously titled “The War of the League of Augsburg”) and the associated Williamite war in Ireland.
The main differences from our existing late 17th century range are:
A) increased use of the flintlock by foot
B) informal tricornes commonly worn
C) French cavalry wore their scabbards on a waist belt rather than over the shoulder
Here are the generic horse with sword, painted as the fierce Irish Horse who caused a crisis for the Williamite cause at the Boyne until the Blue Guards stood firm.
Generic troops will be released first, followed by French horse.
