I saw the painted ones on Col Bill's stand @ Devises very tempting.
I particularly like the grotesque Helms and the unusual horse armour.

Thanks again for the comments  :)
I have now dispatched most of the pledges with the last going out tomorrow.
Thanks for everyone's continued patience.

I don't really want to get into a discussion of the prices of my miniatures again as I have explained them several times before.
But people are of course free to express their views on this here if they wish.

There will be painted pictures soon!

"I don't really want to get into a discussion of the prices of my miniatures again as I have explained them several times before."

Can someone direct me to where this explanation may be found?  I'm intrigued.

Having bought some of the original mounted and dismounted knights, I am very impressed with the variety of heads, plumes etc supplied with each figure.
If it’s too hard, I can’t do it

Don't know what the explanation is, but, man! The Lance Deal includes 15 different heads and 15 different plumes! Only that would justify the price tag!

I know that they aren't cheap, but I must say that I am terribly tempted. Will wait until Christmas, though. Maybe by then I will have had finished some of my ongoing projects and may start a small Pikeman's Lament skirmish band for Pavia's period.

In small numbers these are quite possibly the best figures currently available.

I buy pike in units of 72 figures and tend to buy cavalry in batches of 32+. Consequently these are quite beyond my raw lead budget. Not a criticism of pricing, merely a fact. Better bang, good solid wargaming bang for my buck can be found elsewhere.

Again, sadly, I will pass.

Alright for you, at least they would get justice at the hands of your paintbrush. My daubings will likely obscure all the lovely detail...

If anyone wants to know how I paint them there are some tutorial videos on the steel fist miniatures Facebook page.

Hopefully I can see those.

Received the figures for this kickstarter ... I purchased the original 3 sets, plus the set of 6 pikemen.  Excellent figures!

I hope to see more infantry in the future.

Very nice.

I was looking over all the blister packs in the Col. Bill's office the other day and discussing with Stu the painting of armour and colours ... But he's got me slaving away on your Samurai figures for his display stand, not that I mind since they're a pleasure to paint.

Good stuff  :)

Glad you like them, I'm working on more pike at the moment.
Hi,
They are available now I just forgot to remove that from the website.
