I discovered that they are available from Forlorn Hope Games on ebay. They also have a light cannon model with two rather animated crew, also by Copplestone … so I bought a couple of sets of each to augment my artillery park.
At the time of writing I am not sure if the hand cannons are historically accurate weapons – they are from the Warhammer Fantasy range. If they are they would probably be termed hand culverins. Anyhow, they look the part.

How have you found the Copplestone figures compared to the Perry plastics? Looking at your handgunners led me to other classic Copplestone figures: billmen, knights, etc. It's expensive to ship them to the USA, so I'd only want to get them if they are close to Perry. Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteThe bases are a bit thicker, but the overall proportions are compatible. I have made a head swap with a Perry plastic, and it looks fine.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news! Thank you so much for replying to my question. I love your posts here. I'll be curious to see what you do next.
DeleteThank you for your enthusiasm!
ReplyDeleteI guess you saw yesterday’s post of a photo showing a comparison of the various manufacturers I am using?
I am right at the beginning of this little adventure , so I’m curious about what I might do next too! 😉
