Khurasan Miniatures: 18mm Marlburian Dutch Range Previewed


Khurasan Miniatures: Here are some photos of our latest War of the Spanish Succession range, the Dutch. These were the foundation of the Allied triumphs in the Netherlands, Germany and France -- of all the armies in Europe, only the French army was larger. The infantry were solid, and the cavalry were excellent and aggressive after they were reformed. 

These have been researched to reflect their national preferences -- the infantry have the cartridge box on a shoulder strap, and an old-fashioned powder horn worn externally. The Dutch appear to have retained the "informal tricorne" into the first few years of the eighteenth century and so these are available as well. Dutch cavalry have their scabbards on a frog with a thin, very widely separated rear stabilising strap, as shown in Hall's recent book. Mike Broadbent has done his usual excellent job on these. The production moulds for these are being made now. Hope to have them available within the month, cheers for looking.
