A glorious start to what promises to be a very interesting range of miniatures.

BTW, Stephan, I notice that you're located in Augsburg. The first miniature I ever owned was a plastic model kit of an early Renaissance knight called "The Knight of Augsburg." My first wargames were kindergarten battles that I fought armed with a floppy cardboard sword and a shield decorated with the coat-of-arms of the Knight of Augsburg himself, done in black and yellow crayon. I had no idea where Augsburg was, or that it was even a place - I just assumed that Augsburg was the guy's name.

Over the years I lost my crappy cardboard battle gear (and any inclination toward Medieval reenacting), and eventually the Knight of Augsburg himself, but a fondness for miniatures, harmless battles, and the word "Augsburg" has stayed with me to this day. Any chance the good knight might turn up in the Pro Gloria range someday?

Superb stuff Stephan!  8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

I think that my fave has to be the shoe seller..... and if you keep bringing out miniatures of this standard I may be needing him soon  ;) :D.

Can't wait for the pre-release date.

Thanks again :)

@Kelvin: Actually, I don't know a saga or fairytale about a knight of AUgsburg. I think you could use any Knight miniature as a knight of Augsburg. And black and yellow are the colours of saxony (another state in Germany). AUgsburg is red-white-green. But the Fugger family - which is well-known around the world - that lived in Augsburg has blue-yellow strips. Scroll a bit down here: http://progloriaminiatures.blogspot.com/2011/03/28mm-landsknecht-flags-released.html

Of course, if you give me any reference, I can take a look what future brings.

some really nice miniatures there!

i think that with some brueburg ones those will become something EPIC!

go on whit those minis, it's a great line!


btw: the blog-shop is not really intuitive to see the whole product line: maybe it is just the beginning, but a shop part would be great (not only the catalogue link!)

cheers,

Jack

Very nice, these are a certainty on my 'to get' list.

If for nothing else, that filthy strumpet- revealing so much!
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.
