It seems that in the future there is a possibilty that Victrix would do early HYW. So than we can compare a little bit better. ;-)
These do look great. Interesting that they have eschewed the stereotypical Norman kite shield so far (flat, not convex, and with a round top... )
I’m sure that’s right Darrell. I’m just used to 40 odd years of Norman wargames figures with flat, Bayeaux tapestry style ‘classic’ Norman kite shields Hopefully they’ll include a few, just for old times sake.
STEVE LBMS:Sorry I don't have the time to answer everyone's messages individually but It would take forever with all the subjects that have brought up so far! It is great to see so many enthusiastic Victrix fans.At present Norman Infantry are being worked on which will be a mixed armoured and unarmoured set like the Vikings and soon to be released Saxons. Norman cavalry will be done and yes we are looking at extra bits to put in these sets to use them as first Crusades, Franks, Bretons, Spanish etc...Archers for Vikings, Saxons Normans and EIR have not been forgotten.Once the Norman infantry are done we will jump back to the Napoleonic cavalry and then back to the Norman cavalry and then back to hopefully Napoleonic early French dragoons (should make Tim happy!)The main issue we have is sculpting resources. We have tried a few people and not that they are bad sculptors but it is a different way of working and understanding making figures for injection moulded plastics that a lot of people can't grasp the theory of. Thankfully we found a great new guy in Romania who sculpted the Dacians and who is now working on the Persians.So if anybody knows of good 3d Digital figure sculptors, preferably in the UK get them to send us some CV'S and images. A knowledge of historical uniforms is also a very useful requirement. That is a run down of what we are working on over the next 6 to 8 months but with extra capacity we can do more. Projects we are wanting to start alongside these are a Biblical range and Early Hundred Years war but lots of what people have mentioned in their requests is also on out thoughts. There is years worth of work to do so in some cases it is a case of just be patient!I should add we are working on a 12mm WW2 game and models which will be announced more fully over the weekend.Right I must get back to transfer orders before my customer lynch me!
Yeah, I saw the preview of Gripping beast Normans too. I can't say I am impressed...This is what their new guy sculpted It's brilliant
