Perry HYW Plastic Sets Update

[Ray Earle]

Ok. I was managing to keep it together until I spotted the 1390's Knights. Oh my.. 

Ordered.

Can confirm that this set really does top the English box - more actives poses and the prep that Alan's put into the components which maximises all the assembly options among the various boxes now. Here are the chaps I was offered to do (from pre production samples).



Looking forward to the mounted Knights already!
Simon.

Dear Simon,
Do you know when the mounted knights are due?  Do you think we will see greens at Salute?
Mick

[painterman]

Alan has not indicated a starting date for sculpting the mounted knights, nor whether they'll even be his next plastics.
Always hopeful that the Perrys will unveil some greens at Salute '16 though, they usually like to do that....

[Atheling]

I hate to poop on the parade but...... I've got to be honest 

I love the animation in the poses but some of the arms appear to be too far away from the bodies compared to their metal counterparts- is this just the foreshortening effect of the pic I wonder?

I love the HYW figures, but there seems a lack of polearms.

[Hupp n at em]

I can't seem to find where to preorder them on the Perry site... d'oh.  

Edit: the links don't appear for me on their site, but can be reached through google...strange but I have preordered my plastic fix so all is well in my world again.

Do you think these figures can be used up until 1440?

Mine have arrived! 
OMG - I am so pathetically excited 
They are very nice mouldings, beautiful details, and so many lovely new components.
Sod's law I'm off to the Canaries for week of sunshine first thing tomorrow, so am not going to have a chance to start building for a week

Awesome! My postman hasn't come yet... perhaps he'll have something for me today? Or tomorrow?

I'm very jealous! Not received a shipping notification yet so it will likely be next week before I get them. Looking forward to seeing what you create when you get the chance to work with them.

Mine have arrived! 

Mine too  - they are lovely and there are many (very juicy) parts for builds/conversions etc.

I'm going to have some English archer bases charging into melee at long last!!!

The postman delivered! I have mine too!

I didn't get any shipping notification, and my account on their website still says 'printed & processing'. So you might be surprised!

But one Sprue will take up so little room in your luggage...
