Warlord Charge With Musketeers For Pike & Shotte Under Cannon Fire
April 17, 2015 by brennon
Warlord Games have added some new sets to the Pike & Shotte range including a new Command Group, Musketeer Storming Party and even a full on Ordnance Battery for covering your soldiers as they charge into battle...
Commanding The Musketeers
Leading the charge and making sure your soldiers do what they're told are the Command Group and Musketeer Storming Party for the game...
This provides you a nice set of miniatures allowing you to lead a bunch of different units into battle. You could even pop them into a range of different units and spread them out a bit so you mix these with another set of Command figures for a bit more customisation.
These models above however are much cooler. Since I've been watching The Musketeers on the BBC the idea of some kind of cool skirmish game with these master swordsmen and guards of the King has been a lingering idea. I think this set is great and while it's unfortunate that there are some dupes in this set hopefully a few different coats of paint could make it look less obvious.
Fire!
As well as the infantry there is a set of Cannons for you to bring down castle walls. The Ordnance Battery comes with three artillery pieces and a rather nice resin scenic base and crew.
Another great set of miniatures that allows you to not only bring an array of cool cannons to the battlefield for gaming but also make some neat scenes for the tabletop too. I love that you can actually bring the tabletop to life and put YOUR stamp on the battlefield when you get sets like this.
Do you play Pike & Shotte?

Pike and Shotte looks better and better every release
Another good looking product from WarlordGames!
Changing the the appearance and stance of a couple of the models would not be too hard. 2nd and 3rd along respectively, 2nd, change sword arm to thrusting forwards with sword, 3rd, change steal hat to flaming brand. The 4th is going to be hard as the arms are possibly held too close to the body probably impractical because of cast. no1 in the line though may be able to change weapon from musket to something akin to a large axe or the like. Just thoughts looking at the figures in the pictures, likely hood of being able to do… Read more »
Those are rather nice.
You guys know where these would look amazing?
