That sounds very exciting!  I like the GB plastics very much.

Looking forward to these!! Thanks for the heads up.

The picture linked to are metal figures.

Sounds interesting.  The options to convert these to different periods looks very promising. I guess the April deadline will be to get them ready for Salute.

Thats correct, the pictures are not those. They mentioned it in that post though.

Brilliant (Sarcasm) - just spent a fortune on lead, fireforge converted mongols etc

That's okay, so did I. These will give us another unit though

Yes I'll definately be buying some of these. I think Fireforge missed a trick  releasing Mongols rather than mounted Saracen types.

Sounds great doesn't it??

Very much looking forward to these and hope they have armour!!

Iiiiinteresting. With using a bunch of helmets from the Dark Age Warriors box, I've managed to come up with a mass of what I think make for passable Andalusian infantry. I'm hoping the GB cavalry will be able to be used the same way too.

Also:
I'd emailed GB a few months ago about something or other, but they had mentioned they were going to both a light and heavy cavalry box. I don't know any more than that, but I suppose with two boxes there'll be quite a bit of variety so that we can put them to the various uses we'd like.

Sounds good to me. At some point I need to get some SAGA forces ready, and with GW probably ditching the LotR-ranges in a couple of years' time, plastic Saracens are going to make cheap substitutes for Haradrim. Win-win! 

[Longstrider]

A thought I had too, with the Haradrim, except that the GW plastics are pretty expensive these days.
