By the way, does anyone know when will be the Saxons released? Especially, the models without armour.

UPCOMING RELEASE

We’re happy to bring you some more information on the eagerly anticipated NORMAN RANGE. As you’ll be able to see from the new renders, the NORMAN UNARMOURED INFANTRY will wear padded Akheton, which was a popular piece of armour for the not so wealthy foot soldier. This set will also offer various head options. Among these is the distinctive Norman haircut of the shaved back of the head.

You can expect some more renders soon, with unarmoured and armoured spearman currently being developed. Also in development are the shields which will be a mix of flat kite shields, curved sided kite shields and round shields which allows you to use them for other European foot soldiers, not just Normans.

Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as we will be unveiling the test frames of the Saxons, Saxon Command and Saxon Huscarles this week.

Like them. Really, I do. I've been putting off collecting Normans, but it looks like I won't for much longer. :D

This kit doesn't seem to suffer from the enormous heads their Viking kit was cursed with. It looks very nice!

It's the same sculptor and the heads seem to me the same size, but with less hair  lol . I am currently painting their vikings and I really like how expressive the faces / heads are. They certainly aren't small, but not to big either.

I'm tempted to buy a box to try out a few different painting techniques that I've been thinking of applying (and asking folk for!)

These are looking great!

But I won't buy these until I see matching cavalry :D

Thanks

NORMAN UPDATE

Here we have renders of the 4th Norman unarmoured figure and also a montage of a line up of the 4 unarmoured Normans showing their arm, head and shield variants.

We are now moving on to the armoured Normans and should have something to show in a week or so. Again there will be variations in heads, Helmets, shields and weapons.

We should have a couple more Persians to show later in the week.





Looking good!

They’re certainly dynamic. Even better than the Vikings I think.
Finally I’ll be able to populate a decent looking game based on ‘The Warlord’  ;)
