Mind you, I'll still get them (eventually) for completion's sake (I have all of the official FG models), but I don't see anything there that wouldn't be equally represented by other historical or fantasy models or that couldn't be kitbashed with plastics.

Just my opinion.

Post by: DegenerateElite on 10 May 2016, 07:15:46 AM: They look like Captains to me.

Isn't a Captain just a more experienced fighter with more gear and armor?

Title: Re: Northstar's New Captains
Post by: WeRT on 10 May 2016, 01:34:06 PM: I bet with upcoming "Into the Breeding Pits".
Maybe, just maybe, "Sellsword" will be merged with it?

Post by: Plus Four on 10 May 2016, 02:57:44 PM: I thought I saw something suggesting they'll be on sale in May!

I'm afraid not - Sellsword (and the other PDF supplements) will be collected (along with some other goodies) into a print volume in the Spring.

Post by: Coenus Scaldingus on 10 May 2016, 05:16:52 PM: Nice variation in arms and armour styles, rather like the lot.

Only just noticed the one in red and black carries a missile weapon as well as a shield (sensible choice for a Captain I'd say), while the one with the crossbow also seems to have additional gear.

agreed, it's nice to see the sculptor thinking outside the box
