I have too many armies. I admit it. Something has to give before my joists do. So I intend to sell my English Civil War collection. Sadly it isnt being used and probably never will. I expended a lot of love creating both sides of the conflict but on top of that, I wanted to create the armies that John and I used in the 1980's.
Like most projects I do I went over board with numbers.There are 936 infantry and 328 cavalry. Naturally, there are a lot of commanders and artillery pieces. I also painted up a couple of regiments of peasants and will include them for free. I will also throw the guns and commanders in for free. The majority of the figures are Hinchliffe, naturally, but there are smaller numbers of Mini Figs, Garrison Miniatures and the odd figure from Eagle Miniatures. Additionally, I managed to source a couple of foot regiments owned by the late great Stuart Asquith.
I am not giving them away, well apart from the peasants, generals and guns but would like a reasonable return on the figures. That means a fair price. So if anyone would like to contact me, lets see if we can come to an acceptable agreement.
I will be attending the York Wargames Show unless the weather strikes again, which would be a great time to talk through a deal
Foremost figures are probably still the best for animation.
Lovely Hinchliffe goodies.
These peasants will be free, something you rarely get nowadays.
Mini Figs.
Beautiful collection, Robbie.
ReplyDeleteI know, but you should see me other collections. One must go.
DeleteHad I not already have a largish Minifig collection I would be all over this, lovely looking collection and I am sure it will sell very quickly.
ReplyDeleteI wish, but wargamers of a certain age with large armies will always struggle unless they find a similar type of wargamer.
DeleteBeautiful collection Robbie, if I win the lottery tonight I will buy it. Otherwise sadly my budget won't stretch to buying this wonderful collection of figures. I am sure you will get a great price for them.
ReplyDeleteWillz.
Will, Im open to reasonable offers and HP.
DeleteThat's a great collection shame they've gotta be sold though.
ReplyDeleteVery best wishes for a successful sale Robbie.
ReplyDeleteFabulous and sorry you have to sell but I’ve just unloaded my SYW so understand the reasons why. Wish I could justify buying them but ……
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Maybe you just need the right rules to hold onto them! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy Hinchliffe ECW collection is only c. 600 foot and 300 horse but even that overmatches my table. I might be tempted sometime by some Scots or even Hesilrige's lobsters but for now I have enough. I do hope someone takes them up and hope to see under new generalship soon - it would be to sad for these old figures to just fade away.
