Perry Plastic Light Cavalry 1450-1500

[The Dozing Dragon]

My comment earlier on Facebook was about releasing accessories such as mechanical legs...........these just shouted at me that they wanted to be some form of mad Warlock's retinue

This is getting annoying!  I'm so close to just flogging my painted (about 10%) and unpainted (90%) WotR lead and starting afresh with the Perry plastics. The flexibility offered looks amazing. I love the details like the wrapped bow.

Amen to both points DM 

+1, but the glasses getting better.

Ohhh can`t wait to get them!!

Indeed very nice and usefull addition to the plastic kits from Perrys, the army just grow and grow...

I was told that the minis are finished and now it is down to fitting into Renedra's schedule, but should be early next year, according to Michael Perry... Salut 2015 maybe?

I just put up a picture I got from Michael of the "Swedish Onion shaped Kettle hat" he managed to fit in to the Light cavalry sprue, so now you all can start up some Kalmar Union projects

Best regards Michael

Michael,
Bravo for sending Michael the info - thats a lovely kettlehat variant to have in the forthcoming boxset. Are you aware of any remaining helmet styles like that one in amy museums?
I'm very pleased with the head & helm variants that we've seen to date - very useful for my Burgundians and Swiss!
Am hoping for a pre-Salute release, as April feels a long winter away....
Cheers Simon.

Hi Simon !

Indeed hoping for pre-Salute release.

Sorry no i´m not aware of any remaining helmet styles like that one in museums here in Sweden, Just contemporary Churche wall paintings like the one in this pictures from churches in Sweden, all painted by Albertus Pictor during the later part of 15th century.

OOH, wonderful images Michael - thanks for sharing.
Simon.

[Dalauppror]

Glad you liked them Simon. Show typical armour from the time, used here in Sweden, polearms and spears, shields and also handguns, crossbows and still the use of bows as well the use of a staffsling !

Some more of the Albertus Pictors work:








here are a picture from inside some of the churches, quite impressive I think.






StGeorge and the Dragon






A film anyone?

The North Star FB page has a pic of a frame mock-up done by Renedra for the riders : interested parties may want to have a close look to see what the exact content of the box will be. Each sprue will feature four riders and enough arms to do four crossbowmen, four archers or four lancers/hobilars. Looks like each frame will also feature no fewer than twelve separate heads.

Looks lika a kitbashers dream. 

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

I can see that the left over parts will allow people (me!) to make new poses for archers and crossbowmen walking with their weapons.
Also the sword and trumpet arms will be useful.

Here are some that I did in 2012 based on the existing parts.

[commissarmoody]

Heck the spear arms will come in real useful to.  

[Captain Blood]

Looks like each frame will also feature no fewer than twelve separate heads.

I count 13! 

Nice conversions Mick.

Yes, looks like another exponential increase in the kitbashing possibilities.

They're going to be very useful.
