Mongolians are a logical choice. They can face any models Fireforge have already released.
After all, they showed up in the Holy Land and to fight the Teutonic Knights.

Then when Fireforge does bring out Saracens they can fight the Mongolians too.  :D

exactly :)

Let's hope we get an obese Mongol general in a cart!   Then the Rus will have no chance.

I can't wait to see these, though I agree I was expecting moors/saracens etc. first.

These look fantastic :o

I'd very much like to see some of the Mongols three ups etc in a close up before I pass on my opinion. From what I can see they do look pretty good.

So, who's going to to the Battle of Kalka River then??? (I'm too buisy!)  :D

EDIT: I wrote Kakka river in my original post  o_o lol

Can't wait for these. I enjoy Mongol history but as with Fireforge's other sets it's their usefulness for fantasy gaming that excites me!

If Fireforge made available a sprue of legs for converting the riders into foot troops, I'd be all over this – they'd be perfect for all kinds of games...

They look excellent figures.  Can't wait for them to come out.

Exactly! One of the owners (I assume) showed me a ton of pics on his laptop at the show and it was possibly the most exciting Salute advance peek for me  :)

Oh, boyhood dream of doing the battle of Dros Delnoch and Druss the Legend can finally come true! lol

Or maybe not. But at least there are some inexpensive Nadir to get my hands on later on :)

They do look rather good don't they?  :-* :-* :-*

I'll be watching for all of the horse hooves to be off the ground before they loose their respective arrows though...... nah, just kidding  :D. I would prefer to see them on the smaller Steppe Ponies but hey! you can't have it all.

I think I'll be looking to buy some of these when they are released as they look to be the best Mongol miniatures out there at present IMHO  8)
