There will be 15 in a box, here are the frame pictures:

looking good- like the horse poses.
lovely work from mr. Dallimore as usual.
-
Great fodder for the ever growing Grumpy Gnome bits box sprue collection.
-
Nice :)
Are the horse halves mix and match?

That would be my question too!
-
Those look exceptionally useful.
Has he reinterpreted the horse head stand pole on the painted figure or am I just missing it on the frames ?
It's a nice touch hiding the body join under the reigns .Any fit issues will be easily corrected/ filled with out worrying about muscle contours or the detailing.
-
horse head for standard is on sprue, looks like that or an helmeted head option (although it might just be a head, there are a few).
Looks nice for human cavalry option

Top right in the Command part of the frame between the Command (enclosed helmet) Head and the double headed axe.

I have just given you all my money, and Royal Mail frowns on sending body parts through the post...
They look very good, and make a good sized unit.
Now I need to learn to paint horses...
-
Cheers,
But that's not what I ment. There's an arm for the horse head to make a standard. Kevin has made it as a back banner. I was wondering if it was a conversion or a kit part. Simply because it's the one thing I always get grumbling pm's and emails about( when you move away from the original frames before and after its released.)
Mark.

It's definitely a conversion. I think this is the Kev has fun stage and not the show the kit as is stage.
-
Great horse sculpts and Kev has done a splendid job as usual.... but...
I understand the desire to tie them in with the foot soldiers but those rectangular shields are completely useless on a horse. It's also disappointing that the heads all appear to be the same as the infantry which seems like a missed opportunity to add even more variety to these and the infantry.
-
I have to admit my first thoughts on seeing the shields were.Well their going in the bin.Followed by I wonder how many Rohan shields do I have floating about. Or do I have enough spare metal Saxon shields.
The possibility of mounted archers is a nice touch. Though the inclusion of hooded heads put me in mind of the late 80's Mounted elves from Citadel/ GW.( not a bad thing. its just what that combination of parts brought to mind.)
-
Really nice! not a set ill be getting though (probably)...im waiting on elf cavalry, but some nice bits.
-
The Human cavalry will be released 25th May. North Star are taking pre-orders now.

I’m not put out by the rectangular shields. I can always use them for human infantry conversions.
I am going to need some shields for the horsemen, however.

Love the mounted ranger Champion.

They look great.
