Could make some good men of Constantinople too.

Hmmm. They're not really blowing my skirt up, although the slightly disturbing paintjob on those eyes possibly doesn't help.

Is there likely to be enough interest in Byzantines to financially justify this set? I guess only time will tell.

I quite like the look of these. Its always good to see more medieval plastics and as others have mentioned they'd be great for kit-bashing with many of the other Fireforge kits but also with other manufacturers too.

Add to this their possible Frostgrave/Fantasy army uses and then these may be a very useful addition.

Indeed. I am using plastic LotR Haradrim as Dornians but these are good to. I suppose these are larger in comparison.

Some more pictures and a release-date make my decision, if i like it easier. And the time between the first pics and the final release is very looooooong at Fireforge...

While I would prefer plastic cavalry, Byzantines are always welcome!
