PS: How much difference would there be (body-wise) with the French set - which they note will be more "active"?  Does this mean buy a box of each and head swaps would give you more dynamic archer units on the move, and then a set of steady archers in block?

I guess so. Mixing and matching always provides the best result. A single set is always going to have its limitations.
That said, I'm reserving judgement until I see the English men-at-arms frame which I'm sure will be more 'active' and less static.

As I say though, I think if you look at the previous plastic output of the respective Perrys, it may just be that Alan prefers a slightly more regimented stylised look (see his Naploeonic, AWI and ACW sets), whereas Michael likes a more dynamic, varied, skirmishing look (see his WOTR, WW2 and Sudan sets).

Different strokes  :)

Still think it's going to be a brilliant set. Can't wait.

In some houses, Christmas lasts for 12 days....
Just think how many boxes could arrive (and by the twelth day you'd even have some assembled, based, undercoated....)

What?  After 12 days you are unlikely to have got further than opening the box and looking at the shiny flag sheet!  lol

The painted figures look nice. Waiting to see the foot knights, although I don't think we'll be disappointed.  ;)

If you look at the Perry's website you can see what the foot knights look like, pretty superb methinks. o_o
