North Star have added more figures to their Late Crusades range.

Yep very nice! I have to paint the minis that I already have. They mixed well with Curteys miniatures and Gripping Beast.

I'm still only seeing two horses on show. Has anyone bought any and found that there are more types available?

Two horses doesn't really cut it these days. Still, seeing Olivier's piccies, there may be room to mix and match...

Some very nice minis there. I concur with the amount of horse poses required these days, but we have to think how much in time/effort/money they cost to sculpt, mould and distribute - economics plays a big part in producing new figures ranges.

Agreed, but the dollies can be re-harnessed and used across ranges (and this is a lot easier and cheaper than dressing a human dolly, for example). The economics on producing variant horses, in fact, means a far better return than for the riders.

There really is no excuse and this alone means I wont be buying them. Unless you are going for the 'toy soldier' look with all the figures poised identically, a cavalry unit with just two types of horse looks cheap and nasty.
