Thanks — those guys have surcoats and the late 12th Century was still very much dominated by a surcoatless appearance so the dollies reflect that.

In western Europe yes, but surely in the Holy Land cloth surcoats were worn as protection from the sun, especially in the Military Orders such as Hospitallers, where they were a cassock of sorts?

Actually the military orders were not given permission to wear surcoats into battle until the middle of the 13th century. Before that they either went to battle in plain chainmail or in their monks robes (over their armour) — which one was the case is hotly debated.

This thread has a good discussion of the topic of surcoats.

As I say I’ll certainly be making knights in surcoats as well, both under and over their hauberks.

Right, so not a surcoat as such, more of a dirty habit.

I've never really looked too deeply at available medieval ranges, but I've always toyed with the idea of collecting stuff based on the campaigns of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. No idea if anything suitable is out there!

And many believe not even that.

Oh wow this is looking very promising already. I am excited!

Baltic Pagans, a decent C12th/13th Russian range and would loudly echo comments above re the 3rd Crussde (particularly some decent Ghulam types).

Agreed!

@Khurasan Miniatures, Do you have another preview for us?

Khurasan Miniatures · « **Reply #70 on:** February 05, 2019, 11:46:31 PM »

Miles on Unarmoured horse.

Looks fantastic! I will order when available.

Do you have another preview?

Been tweaking the sample and working on some dollies.

I think what I’m going to do is use the sample to show what the models will look like (get it painted up etc) and then run a Kickstarter.

A kickstarter? Fine for me. Do you think it will be in 2019?

Yes it would be.
