Strelets news 2020 - 2024

[Erich von Manstein]

Sorry if I'm offtopic, but where do you guys buy Strelets figures (European webshops)?
UK (for me) is no longer affordable option since I would need to pay VAT and/or custom duties.
Maybe someone knows reliable Ukrainian/Polish webshop that offers Strelets figures?

In the past years I ordered Strelets figures from Linear-A (Germany), Waterloo1815 (Italy), Miniatuurwereld (Netherlands), Tracks & Troops (Czech Republic) & Hobby.dn (Ukraine), among others.

Unfortunately, Jadar (Poland) seems to have discontinued Strelets.

I buy everything from Linear-a. I can only recommend!

Artwork posted earlier today for set 241 'French Royal Horse Grenadiers' for the ever-expanding War of Spanish Succession range:


With the recent dismounted Dragoons box artwork and now this dramatic picture, it looks as if Strelets have moved on from the previous 'photo shop' style to something different and, to my eye, quite a lot better. Not sure who the artist is, but they have a considerable talent.

[Susofrick]

I have bought a lot from Kamar, but Tracks and Troops is also a nice shop.

[Kekso]

Thank you all guys for comments about webshops.
So far, Martola seems like the best option for me.

Unfortunately, Jadar (Poland) seems to have discontinued Strelets.

Jadar was my No.1 choice many years ago. I agree with you about lacking of Strelets figures now.

[Peter]

Not only the figures are getting better but also their boxart! This one I like a lot!

[MABO]

The box art is really a great achievement. In former times it looks like a joke sometimes, even since the figs getting better and better. For example the DAK mortar squad. But the new once are great!

[Rich W]

Really enjoying the new artwork. I like to keep the boxes so having nice looking packaging etc does make a difference to me.

[MABO]

For me ,too!

[zulu`s 1000`s of em]

Probably the best box art they have ever done, and a real aid to painters, 10/10 from me.

Another really nice WSS preview:
252 - French Late War Dragoons in reserve

[Fire at Will]

It seems that I'm going to have a lot of Dragoons

[pipers]

Can They be used line line cavalry?

[Erich von Manstein]

A most welcome return of Strelets now almost traditional friday preview.

WSS Dragoons in reserve (presumably)

It seems to me that the WSS range by Stretlets is again raising the bar in 20mm figures production and variety.

The detail, faces, poses etc are brilliant and in 28mm would give the Perry’s a run for their money.

As a change from Napoleonics they are most tempting but, it would mean starting all over again.

As the modelling fraternity say.

SABLE.

Stock acquired beyond life expectancy .

Resistance is futile!

Best wishes,

Chris

Come on now Chris, you know a Blenheim re-fight with your skills would be a joy for everyone...

[Erich von Manstein]

Strelets showcased another complete WSS set.

[Bluefalchion]

British Dragoons?

[Flambeau]

#Bluefalchion
Most probably not, some figures have a cuirass (top row 2+3, 2nd row no. 4), which to the best of my knowledge was never the case with dragoons of any army. My best guess would be late war British horse. They'd certainly be a problematic choice for most other nations, Danes and Austrians had the cuirass over the coat and French Cuirassiers du Roi didn't participate in any of the important battles.

[MABO]

But I really like the different poses like loading the pistol etc.
