caesar conquistadores - are there two versions?

Posted by Duron QelDroma on 25 Sep 2016, 15:30

I found this picture of the caesar set of conquistadores on the internet:

I noticed, that there are some poses, that are not in the common set, as seen here:

There is only one rider and the marching figure and one of the swordmen are also missing, but on the other hand there are two pikemen and a kneeling man firing a musket.

So I'm interested, if anyone has obtained these different figures. Are there two versions of this set or is this just a picture of a early test shot?

edit: here is also a painted example of the kneeling soldier:

I realized that with the same pictures when the set was about to be released
I never saw those unknown figres again or in another pictures, so i I assumed they were just masters and test shots which never came to light...

Carlos is right. The pic is the exact same one that first appeared at the Caesers site.

I have relied on the Revell set for so many years because of the pikemen that I could use for early Italian Wars.

Looks as though the pike/spearman was left handed anyway, which would have reduced his usefulness a little...
