MID MONTH DISPATCH
OCTOBER 2014​

As announced earlier this month, KING & COUNTRY is launching an exciting and colourful new series of miniatures based on the English Civil War and the period surrounding Europe’s Thirty Years War...

“PIKE & MUSKET” intends to show both the military and civilian side of these epic struggles by portraying in miniature...the Kings and the Commoners...the soldiers and their generals...plus everyday life in the often harsh, brutal world of the 17th Century.

Among the first batch of releases are five Pikemen in various positions alongside three different Musketeers...an officer...a dismounted “Ironside” trooper...a standing figure of Oliver Cromwell himself and...a Parliamentary Flagbearer.

PURCHASING OPTIONS​

To give collectors the maximum choice and outstanding value all of the figures are available as single pieces as well as 4 x Two-Figure “Fighting Doubles”in their own 2 figure boxes.

Here is the cost breakdown...

PnM001 “Parliamentary Officer w/Halberd & Pistol” ------ US$45
PnM002 “Crouching Pikeman” ------ US$45
PnM003 “Present Pikeman” ------ US$45
PnM004 “Vertical Pikeman” ------ US$45
PnM005 “Advancing Pikeman” ------ US$45
PnM006 “Standing Pikeman” ------ US$45
PnM008 “Oliver Cromwell” ------ US$45

Hey, that's good value getting a twin pack for $79 !!!

With the line-up needed for this sort of conflict, massed pikes, I think that you have the right thing for us collectors.

Maybe this double pack could be also progressed to other ranges, like Napoleonic's, for a firing line or a square ???

It could also eliminate the number of boxes we (and you) need to have??

Hope so {sm4}{sm4}{sm4}

Well Done,

John

Ditto everything you say John. The 2 pack option may be offered for any time period using line, column and phalanx type fighting formations.

Thank you K&C.

Yep, the double pack is the way to go to build up a line. Good one. Robin.

I like the mid-month dispatch idea......................^&grin

[Guy]

Very nice new series, but unfortunately not part of the history of my country.

What will be the pricing in £ sterling?

 

[zulucollector]

I like how K&C thinks outside of the (single) box literally. This would also be great for those of us looking to build a greek Phalanx too. I think along with KnC these are great ideas to keep the cost down when you need to buy mass formations. Personally I find it hard to buy multiple items of the same versions when there is so much great product out there, so it is a nice incentive. Not sure if early sales were sluggish and this was an incentive for the long term growth of this new line or simply feedback from collectors however it is surprising they waited until now to announce this new pairing concept

 

[LTC PaulN]

Mid month is nearly upon us; is shipping being affected by the unrest in HK? Looking forward to seeing the release of many figures that were projected for early and mid-October!

ATW!

What will be the pricing in £ sterling?

My bet is it will be like every other K&C line = the same... US$45 =45 quid in the UK.

I wish K&C would make some of the pikemen in plastic so you could cheaply bulk up the numbers. I've seen plenty of English Civil War reenactments and you need a lot of pikemen for a realistic battle scene.
You could have the metal ones on the outside of the "block" and the plastic on the inside.

Great figures though.... Oh well it's another roll-over on the Euromillions lottery tomorrow.........you never know.^&grin

Have a look at the K&C UK website and the prices are a lot lower than £45!

Jeff,

The price for a single figure on the website is £42.95. I don't consider that a "lot" lower than £45.00 which was my guess.
It's only £2.05 less.
Was you looking at the price before VAT £35.97?

Hi Paul, I meant the prices after the discount given to collector club members which is 15% and is free to join, I get a 20% discount as a platinum member so a 2 figure set is just under £60 and free postage.

Sorry for the confusion.
