[KS] Byzantine Miniatures

[Lord Ekard]

Hello everyone, we just launched a new Kickstarter to complete our range of Byzantine models

Check the live campaign following this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fireforgegames/byzantine-miniatures?ref=project_build#

Here there are some pics about the incoming models

I hope you don't mind me asking, which dynasties are these particular Byzantine models for?

Early Komnendid (1057–1059), Doukid dynasty (1059–1081) or Later Komnenid dynasty (1081–1185)?

Cheers

You can use our models to assemble mostly Nikephorian and Thematic byzantines (but naturally with kitbashing you can get also the Komnenans)

Thanks for the prompt reply  . It's Komnenan Byzantines to take on my Normans that I was looking for, though I have to admit, Komnenan Byzantine kavallarioi depictions are reasonably rare. Or not many anyway

Great looking designs, looks like yet another Fireforge success in the making.

Hope it will reach final goal, would love to see plastic steppe nomads (I have high expectations after Fireforge mongols, wich were amazing )

[Breazer]

These look quite nice. Byzantines vs normans was my first thought. I also hope fireforge will update all kits to this style. It is a great step up from their current kits. Great stuff!

I like the lamellar and the scale armor, but why the discrepancy in quality with mail between the plastic and resin sculpts? Can't pledge €70 ATM, as I just want to try out one box of Koursores, so would I be able to pledge €1 now and add a box later and would shipping be lower than the  €13.50 for 3 boxes? I like the look of the horses and wondering will these be available for sale separately? How do they compare in size with the other manufacturers, such as the Perry plastic horses?

yes of course, shipping for one box are aroun 5-8€

Yes our new horses will be available separately and about the scale they are in scale with plastic perry mounted knights while are bigger than metal perry horses

Another step to the campaign successful funding! Varangians, Cataphracts, Harald and byzantine shields will be immediately available once unlocked the campaign funding goal

It doesn't look like it will get to the level to release the plastic Cataphracts- that's too bad.

Is the mace in the hand of the klibanaphoros an actual Roman model? I'm not an expert, but it looks rather western to me.
