Disappointing MARS TYW Dragoons

Posted by davbenbak1 on 11 Jun 2016, 15:20

PSR has pics of the two latest sets of TYW Dragoons. I have bought a few of MARS TYW sets, and while they ain't pretty, they turned out better than expected and were really the only figures available with the poses, weapons and attire I needed. The these two sets obviously won't work for TYW dragoons. They could work as harquebusiers or ECW cavalry/dragoons. Anyone have any thoughts on these sets?

I’m going to paint mine up as German mercenary unit where anything goes.

I had hoped for something more useful so I'm disappointed as well.

My impression of the firgures is that they are definitely not dragoons (both Imperial and protestants), but actually work quite well as regular cavalry - a type of light cavalry (not armoured). While they won't win any beauty competition they are not as bad as PSR has reviewed them.
Just my own opinion. I am thinking of buying them
