The White Knight is amazing. Perfectly captured one of my favourite characters from on of my favourite books. Superb.

Ohhh i missed the zombies kickstarter, when will they be available?  lol

Not sure, after TAG fulfilled the kickstarter pledges. Shouldn't be too long, as they have everything they need and it was a small kickstarter.

Mick Darpa has delivered another set of (in my opinon) characerful sculpts with an oldschool bent. This is another set of knights templar (on foot). These belong to the order of the Great Bear. They are wearing heavy fur cloaks, made from the skins of bears they killed themselves and wield impressive great hammers that strike fear in the hearts of their enemies just by looking at them.

The champion of the unit looks unimpressed by the enemy. He'll lift his hammer when they get close enough to smell their breaths... The bearhead adorning his helmet could also be painted differently to represent a particularly ugly direwolf if you prefer.



The musician goes into battle armed with a "small" warhammer, to keep his other hand free in case his needs to blow his horn.



The proud standard of the unit. No frills, just a carved bear's head to show what they are about.



The first 5 rank and file Great Bear templar. I will post more pictures from different angles when I get them. A second set of rank and file figures, with bare heads, will be converted from these after moulding.

Even with little of their faces visible, the Knights exude personality. As wonderful as the earlier pieces are, each new release gets just that much better. OUTSTANDING WORK!

They are still at the sculptor (I only got the finished pics about an hour ago), so adding the time to get to the mouldmaker, mastermoulding and -casting, posting castings to me for a final check and then sending them back to productionmould + -cast, I'd say August.

Those bear knights look spectacular.  Amazing range.  Is TAG going to eventually pick up the entire range at some point?  I'd love to get my hands on some of the Sea Elves for example.

TAG currently hold the Dwarfs, fat halflings and zombies and will add the Sea Elves later this year.

They don't have any current plans to take on the humans though, as they already do a range of historical humans for the same period and there is a size difference.

Short Wars Miniatures has the goblins and halfling conversion bits for them.

Some of you may remember the greens I posted almost a year ago for the Dwarf footknights of the order of the Great Bear. It seems like good timing that, shortly after I posted the greens for their human counterparts, I can now announce that the dwarf footknights will join the rest of my former dwarf range at The Assault Group, who are running a 4 day long kickstarter to release them right now:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/584137481/tag-28mm-dwarf-empire-bear-knight-miniatures/description

Brilliantly sculpted by the lovely John Pickford and gorgeously painted by Paul Sanderson.

I will let the pictures of the painted figures speak for themselves:
