These are fantastic ! Was he chained to his comrades or was that a romanticism? Could be an extra detail.

Beautiful!  :-*
I'm really looking forward to more like this. 2015 is going to be a good year, miniature-wise...

Wow, excellent animation! The forefinger gripping the cross guard shows great attention to detail, too. Not seen that on a model yet. :-*
And speaking of chains: Hope the poor fellow on the tumbling horse has attached one to his great helm, like ordered. ;)

Wow, those look great!

I might be really tempted to get me a French 100years army soon then...  :(

Mr. Imrie had said that Claymore would supply suitable bindings in the pack so that you could attach King John and his aides.  :D

David sent me some early pics of the (Blind) King John of Bohemia's vignette and I was astounded then!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

I now stand more amazed and astounded at the quality of sculpting in this piece than ever!!

Those are really fantastic! I wanted to make that figure myself one day but now there is no need because that is top notch work. This range is getting better and better

Some great comments. Matt will be pleased. When these images were taken he still needed to finish the horses and add other knight.
Matt has now finished and we will have these away to the mould maker ASAP.
I was asked to paint something for the front cover of an issue of Wargames Soldier and Strategy. I spoke to Matt about doing something special and we came up with this idea. Andrew and I get a free add and our customers get a nice set of figures. Win win!

Great idea for WSS and great idea for a vignette all in one- and with it being Late Med. right up my street  8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Well, put me down for a set.

With these and the crossbowmen its already shaping up to be an excellent range.   :D

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree, it's about time there was a top quality (Early to Middle) HYW range and Claymore Castings are doing the business as far as I'm concerned. I've got a number of castings and they are a crisp as you like  8) 8) 8) 8).

Those look stunning! I was struggling if i should buy some last crisis, but after seeing these. I just need them. So great!

I'm really loving watching this range expand...all of the highest quality...

...you have me considering a third Brettonian army...just for the sculpts!

Keep up the good work!

Hear hear! I've alway found the latter half of the 14th century an interesting period, but woefully underrepresented. Go 50 years earlier or later and you're drowning in figures. I'm overjoyed that Claymore is correcting this gap in such style and quality! Great to see the line expanded with the more armoured elements.  (Hopefully, they'll also include my holy grail of medieval gaming: matching mounted and dismounted figures.)

Yep, that's what I was getting at, that and the excellent quality of the sculpting and casting  :).
