This sprue has 8 28mm Foot Knights representing knights of the Late 12th to 13th Centuries. They can be used in the Crusades, The First and Second Barons War, The Spanish Reconquista and as Germans, French, Poles, Italians who were all waging war on each other throughout this turbulent time in history.
There are 5 knights in mail and surcoat and 3 wearing just mail. The surcoat did not become universally adopted until the late 13th Century so this gives the set a lot of flexibility.
Helmet styles include:
- Flat topped Barrel helms
- Conical helmets similar to the Norman style helmets
- Kettle helms
Earlier styles can be used together with later styles as equipment would last generations as it was passed from Father to Son. These can all be interchangeable with our mounted Knights set.
Weapon options include:
- Swords
- Axes
- Double handed axes
- Spears
- Maces
- Standard bearer & Musician arms have also been included
Shields:
- 14 x Medieval Heater shields
We have also produced a few characterful parts such as raised crosses and severed heads so you can really personalize your miniatures.
We have really pushed the boundaries of the tooling department with all the details in this set. We dare not tell you how many fine cutting tools they went through on all this mail! But hats off to the guys for producing some of the finest mail that can be produced at this scale in plastic. Not enough credit is given to the people who do the tooling and the layup as well as the designers and sculptors. It is a team effort to make miniatures this good!
