December 6, 2021 by brennon
1898 Miniaturas has now released a new set of twenty-seven different models for those diving into the Thirty Years War in 28mm on the tabletop. See what you make of this new Historical cavalry that will soon be charging into battle.

The different cavalry options in the range can be used to fill out the forces of the Spanish and Imperial forces during the period. Basically, it should work particularly well for any force in Europe during the period of 1618 through to 1648.
The miniatures are armed with a variety of weapons including swords and pistols. You'll also find plenty of options in there in terms of cuirasses, buff coats, hats and helmets that fit the different European styles of the period.
The miniatures are separated out into nine different packs (some of which are pictured here) with all of them being made from metal. A nice weighty set of miniatures to add to your collection!

These miniatures then join an expanded line-up of different miniatures for the period of the Thirty Years War. If you want characters, infantry, artillery and the like then the folks at 1898 Miniaturas have you covered in that regard.
A stunning collection I think you'll agree, especially in terms of the posing and the detail. I like cavalry that looks like they are charging headlong into the action and this selection delivers on that.
Are you tempted to snap some of these up for your own collection?

One for all and all for one… wait, where did that come from?
One word, “phwoar”!
I am beyond tempted and right in there with ‘order dispatched’. ?
These figures look fabulous with their dynamic, action poses. They will be joining the ranks of my Swedish and Imperial forces for the Thirty Years War. International shipping allowing, they will be bumped up my lengthy painting queue as soon at they arrive ?.
Ooh yeah they look fantastic.
Absolutely fantastic-looking miniatures.
I’m sure will be a hit with any fans of the Thirty Years War and English Civil Wars.
Rather tempted by these.
As good as I’d expect from 1898
I’ve never played this period, but it is miniatures like these that get me tempted. The strange thing is that reading about the the English Civil War is what got me interested in historical gaming over twenty years ago. I still remember the book – it was called ‘The English Civil War’ from the Wordsworth Military Library series.
I agree the look of the period is very tempting. (I think it was the Michael York ‘Musketeer’ movies that got me hooked.) If I can tempt you a bit further, I think it is period definitely worth looking at for games. As well as some of the bigger historical providers like Warlord (they do plastics as well!) there are some superb new figure makers like Bloody Miniatures, 1898 and Avanpost to consider. There are also many, many rules sets to choose from in every size of game. I pay En Garde (by Osprey for small, 5 or 6 figs… Read more »
Begone Satan, don’t you know that it is written – ‘a wargamer CAN play the Roman period alone and be fulfilled’. ?
I might buy En Garde after the New Year and give it a read.
Hehehe! Go on, you know you want to. ?
En Garde has a simple yet really fun swashbuckling system. Warbases make some nice counters to use for it too.
I have been extremely tempted by their previous tercio infantry, and these cavalry look amazing. This might just be the tipping point to get a new project started…
