Perry Miniatures Preview New Agincourt & Afghan Troops From Salute
April 27, 2015 by brennon
The Perry Miniatures twins showed off these models at Salute this past weekend but if you missed it here are the designs for both some new Agincourt Infantry, 1415-1429, Zulu War British Infantry and 2nd Afghan War British Infantry too...
Agincourt
Below are some of the new infantry for the French at Agincourt but they could also work as soldiers for a variety of different armies in Europe at the time. I really like the style of arms and armour during this period of history and it makes for stunning armies.
In particular I think that the raised helmet you see on the left of this second picture looks amazing and very 'cool'. Once again it appears as if the Perry twins might end up making us spend more money than we intended and delving into this period for more wargaming fun.
The Brits Abroad
As well as all the Medieval fun there are some new units coming your way for the Afghan War and Zulu War when it comes to the British forces. See what you think...
Some more great looking models for fighting in conflicts that are both well known and less so. I think this is going to be a great kit when it comes to the amount of different options you can give them. I'd love, for example, to see some heads representing the main characters from the film Zulu on the sprue so you can re-create your own regiment for the battle.

Stunning work from the Perrys. Several more periods to add to the “to do” pile.
crossbows. hmm, nasty. Can’t deny the supremacy of the English longbow but those things felled god knows how many English soldiers… Medieval equivalent of the AK47 in that any idiot could pick one up and shoot it – yet more loveliness from the Perry’s!! That pikeman looks pretty awesome too, be nice to see how well you could integrate a Burgundian themed component to an English force, ok, so nothing new from a historical point of view but could be interesting on the tabletop…
