Yes, I saw them this evening. I think they have previously done sets with two guns and a mounted officer for other ranges.

Hi. Here are 2 of the new Ex-Force cavalry figures I've just painted, with an Italeri figure to compare them with. As you can see, the Ex-Force figures are larger than the Italeri one and are a great size to fit in with my Victrix range. I love them, so will now begin to collect them. So, that means I've now got 8 Italeri Dragoons to sell. Will I ever finish painting!? Best Wishes Dave

Some more Ex-Force figures with a comparison with Victrix. 1 The cavalry fit in nicely with Victrix infantry. 2 A Victrix foot compared with an Ex-Force foot-the ex-force are a little bit smaller So probably can't be mixed-probably kept as separate units. 3 An experiment! A Victrix head on an ex-force body - too big An ex-force head on a Victrix body - too small Ex-force arms on a Victrix body-works quite well Best Wishes Dave

Hi guys. Just a question for those with more knowledge than me. I've seen the Ex-Force American Militia figures, and a few weeks ago bought a book about Peninsular War uniforms. So, I wondered if people thought I could use the U.S. figures (apart from the Negroid head) for Spanish guerrillas? They just seemed to have some of the clothes/headgear I'd seen in the book. Your thoughts gratefully received.
Best Wishes Dave

I have the Ex-Force American Militia as well and I can see the resemblances. But the Spanish wore those girlie sandals that tied around their an kles (sorry Spanish members). I was thinking about using pirates for my Spanish Guerrillas.

Hi.
I sent an email to Scott Lam of Ex-Force suggesting that the U.S. militia might be a good basis for producing a set of Spanish guerrillas. He's replied, saying that Spanish guerrillas are already planned for the Peninsular sets to be produced some time in the future. Great news, not only regarding the guerrillas, but also the fact that Peninsular sets are planned - the present sets are for 1812-1815.
Best Wishes Dave

Just been on the Ex-Force site. They've released the Scots Greys cavalry. Lovely looking figures they are.
They've also released British Light Infantry and Grenadiers, as well as British Dragoons and Life Guards. There's also some French artillery.
Scott Lam says they will be releasing a Peninsular war range, but that's some way off in the future (I want the cavalry with the Peninsular head gear)
Best Wishes Dave

The photos do not show two of the heads with these sets.
The Light Infantry NCO comes with a choice of shako or bonnet.
The Grenadier NCO comes with a choice of shako or bare head.
