Title: Seperate crossbows?
Post by: Svennn on January 13, 2013, 12:33:26 PM: Who sells good crossbows? Metal or plastic. I am looking for some to add to larger 28mm figures so I think the likes of Essex may be a little small?

I used to have some GW ones, four on a cross shaped sprue, but cannot find them. Where would these have been from? and are they still available?

cheers Svennn

It will be a buy some I think as I need at least twenty
