Wouldn't that be something!! I won't be holding my breath though. When it comes to the later Dark Ages manufacturers shy away from any armies other than Viking, Saxon and Norman. It gets a bit boring after a while. Once Victrix releases theirs the markets going to be pretty saturated. I'll get a box or two of the Victrix releases, but that will be me done with collecting Late Dark Ages until someone brings out figures for a different army of the period.
Anything else you'd like to see in plastic Siegfried other than Early Dark Age?I've already thought that more plastic American War of Independence by the Perry's would be great and Biblical would be cool!
Those sound like some really interesting box sets, @cram! I am sure they'd be great for kitbashing, especially if the Perrys turn out to release a plastic set of Afghan tribesmen. Let's keep our fingers crossed for that one! I personally would love it if the Perry twins dared to venture once more into the Elizabethan period. I know they have a line of 40mm Border Reivers models, but I think it would be great if they expanded that to some 28mm metal and plastic ranges. I would buy the heck out of those sets! Also, a nice plastic range for the English Civil War or the Thirty Years' War would be awesome too! It's incredible that the English Civil War, being one of the most popular periods amongst wargamers, doesn't have any plastic sets other than those mediocre Warlord boxes. Again, from an economic point of view, I think that if the Perrys released something of the sort, they would find a great demand for it. I for one would certainly buy quite a few of those.
Hell I wish someone would do Welsh and Scots in metal let alone plastic!!
Crusader makes a small range of Scots in metal:http://www.crusaderminiatures.com/list.php?cat=4&sub=48&page=1
" DARK AGESWe have been asked many times why Victrix has chosen to create a Dark Age range when there are so many other manufacturers that already have extensive ranges of Vikings, Saxons, Normans etc established in the wargames market.This is very true but the way our design team have developed over the past 2 years we really believe we can add a new positive twist to this very popular period. We should have the first Viking renders ready to show in about a week. These are based on the concept sketches illustrated below this text.Attention to detail such as natural body positions, fabric textures, the way hair looks and hangs, the character in the faces and may other details is what we will focus on to make sure our Dark Age range really stands out. Of course they will also look terrifying.Initial work has stated on The Vikings and initial thoughts are a set of between 48-56 figures. This would comprise both armoured and unarmoured warriors plus command figures to include nobles, standard bearers, musicians, bersekers and champion figures. Again the command frame would include lots of head, weapon, arm options.LittleBigMenStudios have committed to producing an extensive range of shield transfers and banners. "
Footsore as well.
Well, Stephen Hales told me in their Facebook that after their experience with the Celtic chariots, the chaps at Victrix are willing to explore the possibility of starting a range of Egyptian and Hittite chariots. Keep your fingers crossed it comes to fruition
