These have just appeared on their facebook page and they do look very nice.

Here's a link to the page:

No sign of a release date as far as I can see but I imagine they're gearing up for Salute like they did with their cavalry sets.

Helmets look a bit big don't they?

Otherwise they look really good to me!

If my eyes don't deceive me, there seem to be various sizes of helmets there? I know very little of the subject, but weren't some of them pretty big anyways, especially ones four jousting (or on horseback anyways)? although why one would choose to wear one on foot? Perhaps just due to necessity?

Yes, there's variety in the helmets but some do seem to be on the too large side of things. Dunno if it's the angle of the pic but the in the first pic of built minis, in the first row on the left, the helmet seems to be way too big.

Just check pics of real helmets of the era; Sugar Loaf, Great Helmet, Barrel Helmet etc, big but not that big.

They posted a new painted Teutonic on their facebook page.

I have to say I do like them. Some of the heads do look large but not overly so in my eyes. They look like they paint up a treat too.

Wait... so how many figures come in the box?
All of the 'and/or' made it a bit confusing.  lol

somehow it seems an army of teutonic children. That's just me, probably! ^_^

I really like these and will have to get some. Fantasy purposes though.

They look sinister and they are dressed for winter.
Give the leader a cloak of human skin and you got yourself some Boltons. lol

But I am going to use them for Black Numenoreans!

Most excellent idea! Some reinforcements for my army of darkness. Never thought of that before you said it!  :D

Sharing ideas and finding inspiration.  ;)

Aren't they a bit scary for men of the White City?  lol

Huh? Admittedly some of the Teutonic helms are a bit much, but from the sprue those look like either the horns etc can be clipped off or just not used. I also don't plan on using the cloaks on the basic infantry. Might use some for some more heavily armoured men to go with my Rangers.

That is what I like about them!

You are right about the horns, Fireforge made them deliberately easy to snip off.

Already working on it!  Kitbashing these, Perry WotR, GB Viking plus select metals added from Perry, Claymore, Black Tree to get the variation of armor styles that fit my vision of the different wealth/aesthetic differences between the houses.

Starting with Lannister, Stark and Greyjoy, using variants of Saga and Dux Britanniarum.

Now I'm waiting for the Templar infantry because I need those helmet variations.

Fur cloaks from Teutonic foot. Check.
Hooded cloaks from Templar foot. Check.

Stark and Greyjoy, here we come.

I'm quite liking those hooded heads. Shame you only get 4 per box. Perhaps Fireforge will sell the command sprues individually on there website like how the Perrys do.
Title: Re: Fireforge Teutonic Infantry
Post by: Verderer on 09 April 2013, 10:38:51 AM
Apparently Teutonic and Templar foot knights should be out by the end of the month? Pre-ordered two boxes... Also, I noticed Battleflag has new transfer sets for chivalric orders & Knights of Jerusalem, Knights of Lazarus, Livonian brotherhood etc. Hopefully more will appear in time, but looks good already.

I hope to pick these figures up at Historicon from Architects of War.  The amount of new stuff I purchase will be related to what I can unload at the flea market.

They don't look bad.

But I think I'd've been more excited about them a few months ago.
