Empress Miniatures has a bunch of new metal miniatures for those diving into 28mm Thirty Year War on the tabletop. Artillery and Cavalry have been added into the mix recently including a big ol' cannon.

Each of the crew is available separately if you like but you can also buy them with the Medium Cannon. If you like, the Cannon is also available separately. The team at Empress has done what they can to try and keep the traditions of Bohemian Miniatures (where these originated) alive, a good option for those just needing one or two miniatures.
New Thirty Year War Cavalry
As well as the Artillery, you can also get your hands on some brand new cavalry options which come heavily armoured and unarmoured. They also work for all manner of different factions that were fighting during the period.

I love the fellow with the pistol above in particular! The miniatures here are obviously themed to the Thirty Year War but you could use them for the English Civil War very easily. You have some good options here for both the Parliamentarians and Royalists.

We also got a few more foot troops over the weekend that have been added to their webstore.

Are you tempted by more of the Thirty Year War range?

Nice well detailed looking figures.
It’s ranges like this that can tempt one to start a new period! What I like about them is that whilst yes, you could use them for the British Civil Wars, they are very clearly designed with the Thirty Years War in mind and have a number of features that work for the earlier years of that conflict. We have to remember that the Thirty Years War had already been raging for 24 years by the time things properly kicked off in Britain in 1642. It’s nice to see a range fully devoted to the TYW and not just repurposing… Read more »
