    2. Can I ask the Pendraken product code for the mounted arquebusiers wearing Morion helmets? Are they YW2?

    3. YW2 has a floppy hat. For the life of me I can't remember, I've a vague recollection that I had to ask for a pack of them to be made up. Discontinued line or one of a two pose pack? Best to put the question on Pendraken's forum.

    4. Ah ok, thanks. I wondered if they might be from the Late Medieval range? The ELM34 "SHC with handgun", which someone said stood for "Super Heavy Cavalry", although that makes me think more of Reiters.

    5. Don't think so, they have no armour apart from the helmet and the horses are unbarded so 'Super Heavy' seems a bit extreme. I've posted the question on Pendraken's forum. I'll post here anything I get back.

    6. Think I figured it out upon some further googling. Seems they are English Civil War Dragoons. Appears Pendraken still produce the dismounted counterpart wearing Morions, but not the chaps on horses which you have, or at least, as you say, they will perhaps make them but don't list them on the webstore.

      Here they are:

    7. Discontinued line, Pendraken may still have mould, worth asking.

    8. Thanks very much for looking into it! I may well ask, although I may also check out the SHC mounted handgunner and perhaps try converting some mounted crossbow men. I'm going for Empire Outriders rather than a real historical look, so more or less like Reiters/Pistoliers but with long arms rather than pistols, but perhaps a bit more armoured than the ECW dragoons :)

    1. Many thanks. Made the mistake of getting some sample Landsknechts, so likely to continue.
