These are looking bloody brilliant as usual from Claymore and Paul Hicks.  :-* :-* :-*

Stunning.  :D

A lovely range that is really impressing with each release.

The knights look great.

If I'm honest though, I'm not really loving the horses. Maybe it's because they're all in more or less identical poses, but something about them doesn't look quite right to my eye...

I don't mind the horses, it's those telephone poles they're carrying.  Still, I can swap those and like them overall.  Still waiting for my Scottish pikemen to make it over here to Californy.

That's what I thought. I think it's the legs on the horses, they look really short. I'm no expert on them but they just look weird to me. Don't get me wrong, Claymore's stuff is rather nice but I don't quite get why they're considered the best models since slice bread. I'd say they fit in with the rest of the "nice" medieval ranges, but don't surpass them.

I like them, and the paint jobs set them off very nicely. I think I will have to pick up a few of these.

My thoughts exactly. Well, that or a sort of awkward pose where they look like they want to sit on their hindquarters.

Have to agree. I'm a big fan of Paul's work, and have a lot of his figures from a whole variety of manufactuers. These are great - but then all his work is great! I'm not sure that these are in any way markedly superior to his figures for Brigade, Pro Gloria, Empress, and so on. But as you say, they seem to be attracting a disproportionate amount of love all round. Perhaps they just have the wind in their sails at the moment. That does sometimes seem to happen with some ranges of figures.
The Force is with them :)
