As this is one of the most comprehensive ranges for this period might I suggest some heads to provide even more flexibility, plus some personalities, including Queen Margaret.

Completely agree.  I'd also like to see some Scottish Pikemen, Welsh Spearmen and Irish Kern and Bonnachts too.

Leman (Andy)

Welsh spear are a tricky one. I've seen them advertised in other manufacturers' ranges, but they then turn out to be the one shoe C12th or C13th variety. By the second half of the C15th my feeling is that they would be similar to English billmen, but armed with a spear rather than a bill and certainly not carrying a shield.

I would like an 'organ' gun' required for one of the scenarios in the rule book

Oh, now this is sounding good. About to get my WoR out again for a revamp.

I'd be inclined to use pack 30 for Welsh spearmen. The pike would pass as a long spear or it could be cut down if necessary.
Separate Wotr heads sounds excellent :)

Leman (Andy)

That is certainly an option, Mike. Back when I first started WoR before the PP range I used the Irregular pikemen as Welsh spear. Much of my collection is units of different manufacturers, so I am loathe to post piccies here, although I do have some purely PP units which I shall put up (and a cartful of bodies of course).

Another request for more pikemen-perhaps kneeling,and yes, scots.

My longbow retinue fancy a few more targets.

Pushing my luck no(newbe), light horse or mounted longbowmen...

I can look at the heads start of 2017. Organ gun too. The organ guns might include a crew as well??
