Eureka Miniatures forthcoming British civil war figures

'A sneak peek at our forthcoming 18mm ECW range.

So, why yet another English Civil War range? This perennial subject has been covered by just about every manufacturer since time began. Eureka itself already has a 28mm limited range covering Montrose’s Scots and Irish. Is there any room in the burgeoning marketplace for another?
The answer, we believe, is a resounding yes.
The thinking behind this project was to bring a high-quality ECW range to 18mm. This scale is far less populous ground than 28mm and when you have a sculptor the likes of the incredible Alan Marsh at your disposal, the opportunity to create an 18mm range to rival most 28’s becomes a challenge to be met full tilt.
Our goal was to create as complete a range as possible with all the pose, apparel, and weapon variants required to stage truly epic recreations of your favourite Civil War battles.
You’ll find all the scope you need to create impressive mass infantry formations (and at this scale your pike blocks can be more than just representational. Hedgehog, anyone?).
But it is the cavalry that we think is really going to impress. We are producing a truly BIG number of cavalry variants for you to sweep the table with.
We wanted to accurately capture the flavour of this particularly unique conflict and that meant lots of horse flesh on the kitchen tab – er, battlefield.
All troop types are being covered and there will even be some personalities to dress things up just right.
We’re very excited by the potential of this range and judging by what we’ve seen so far from Mr. Marsh’s bench, we (and you) are not going to be disappointed.'
