Knights with gunpowder weapons.
« on: 13 June 2015, 07:44:58 PM »
I've seen Most of GW offerings,but was wondering about Knights and men at arms with guns,more black powder types.Than modern assault rifles or lasers .
Im tempted to convert some fireforge miniatures.

"Knights" wouldn't have used gunpowder weapons, but plenty of historical medieval armies did.

Some of the Perry Miniatures European Mercenaries plastic boxed set can be made as handgunners:

They also make some in metal

and if you google something like "28mm medieval handgunner" you'll get lots of possibilities.

Rusted Heroes do a few, but I think the quality doesn't match their prices...  :?

No those rusted heroes do look overpriced,I suppose Knights wouldn't historically.but I was thinking as fantasy ,maybe a medieval version of vsf ,could have discovered them earlier, lol

I'd be interested in this too for science-fantasy stuff. Not GW gothic but 70s space knights. I want to make this stuff:

Infinity has some figures that might fit the bill in their Panoceana range.  You might need to do a head swap though.
