Huh wow I did not expect this, Fireforge games is already gearing up for their 2nd releases of medieval plastic goodness and should be ready to sell by Salute 2012
Join the Holy Crusade!
Fireforge Games is proud to introduce you our next two 28mm multi-component plastic releases:
Templar Knights Cavalry
Mounted Sergeants
Both sets will be released and sold for the first time at the London Wargaming Show Salute 2012 (21th April) at our stand. Come to visit us!
Both sets will allow you to build 12 Templar Knights and 12 Mounted Sergeants respectively, with their horses. Here is the details:
Templar Knights:
NEW UNBARDED HORSES! - Two new unbarded horse frames with bodies split in three parts. In each frame there are three different left sides and three different right sides that are totally mixable with each other to obtain different poses. Three different heads and two tails, compatible with every horse body version, complete each horse section. Without considering the tails, you'll be able to build up to 27 different horse versions.
Barded Horses - Three barded horse frames, the same ones you have admired in our Teutonic Knights Cavalry box set.
NEW KNIGHT HEADS! - 10 different heads in two sections for a total of 20 heads in the set, a mix of norman/nasal, bacinet and full helmets.
NEW KITE SHIELDS! - 3 different kite shields with left arms attached and 3 different kite shields with left arms not attached. There are two kite shield sections for a total of 12 kite shields in the box.
Heater Shields - An heater shields section with 6 different shields, the same one you find in our Teutonic Knights Cavalry box set. These bring the total shields of this set to 18!
Knight Bodies and Cloaks - The same one you find in our Teutonic Knights Cavalry box set. Four different knight bodies and four different separeted cloaks for a total of 12 bodies and cloaks in the set.
Weapons - 4 different right arms armed with spears, 2 with swords, 1 axe, 1 mace and 1 morning star. Three weapon sections for a total of 12 spears, 6 swords, 3 axes, 3 maces and 3 morning star in the set.
Various - Cross standard, right arm with a horn (musician), 4 different sculpted standards/flags and several bits of rectangular plate pieces as a reinforced armour option to shoulders.
Mounted Sergeants:
NEW UNBARDED HORSES! - Four new unbarded horse frames with bodies split in three parts. In each frame there are three different left sides and three different right sides that are totally mixable with each other to obtain different poses. Three different heads and two tails, compatible with every horse body version, complete each horse section. Without considering the tails, you'll be able to build up to 27 different horse versions.
NEW SERGEANTS HEADS! - 10 different heads in two sections for a total of 20 heads in the set, a mix of several versions of helmets like knettle and bacinet as well as mail coif heads.
NEW SMALL HEATER SHIELDS! - 3 different small heater shields with left arms attached and 3 different small heater shields with left arms not attached. There are two small heater shield sections for a total of 12 small heater shields in the box.
Kite Shields - A kite shields section with 6 different shields. These bring the total shields of this set to 18!
Knight Bodies and Cloaks - Four different sergeant bodies with mail armour and four different separeted cloaks for a total of 12 bodies and cloaks in the set.
Weapons - 4 different right arms armed with spears, 2 with swords, 1 axe, 1 mace and 1 morning star. Three weapon sections for a total of 12 spears, 6 swords, 3 axes, 3 maces and 3 morning star in the set.
Various - Cross standard, right arm with a horn (musician), 4 different sculpted standards/flags and several bits of rectangular plate pieces as a reinforced armour option to shoulders.

Excellent looking figures (so far), and they nicely leverage the existing sprues and designs.
Looking forward to knights on foot, and other foot troops...

They look really good, as well as for the obvious historical use, should be a nice sub-in for Empire and/or Brettonian players.

Wow, they've totally ninja'ed the Perrys on releasing these. They've got a mounted men-at-arms set sculpted too.
I'm amazed they've managed to get so many kits released so quickly at a time when everyone else using Renedra seems to have either slowed down (Warlord and Perry) or put on hold (Mantic) all of their production orders with them.
Anyway, they look like really nicely done sprues, I'll definitely keep them in mind.

I do not think it is too much of a ninja , Perry's Men at Arms are for War of the Roses/Late Medieval (plate armor, etc). These seem better suited for Crusades/Middle Middle Ages
Well now that I think about it, I think it is actually a bit understandable how these guys got out so fast. A good portion of the set is from the already made teutonic knights, and they must have already planned this or something without releasing any info

At 2 euro per knight, these are really quite good value (if they go for the same pricing as the Teutonic Order).
Compared to GW, that's half the price of a box of bretonian knights of the realm.
I can see a decent counts as army with the Teutonic Order as KotR, Templars as Knights Errant, and then some other minor conversion work to make Grail Knights.

Might have to wait a bit. Last rumors/predictions are that foot knights will be late 2012, maybe Nov/Dec. But they are going to make them I believe
Oh yea, in case anyone hasnt seen FF games knights in person and want to know how they stack up to other people's miniatures, here are some pics. There IS a bit of a jump between FF and GW if you are extremely stringent that type of stuff
Pictured below from left to right, a Conquest Games Norman, Fireforge Teutonic, Perry Norman/Crusader, HYW mounted Sergeant, Fireforge Teutonic, Warlord Games Roman Auxiliary
Next Pictured from left to right, Warlord Games Barbarian, Perry HYW Spearman, Fireforge Mounted Knight, Perry Norman Spearman, FireForge Mounted Knight, Warlord Games EIR, Warlord Games Giant Auxiliary, Gripping Beast Viking with a GW Flaggellant head.
And not to forget my Fantasy audience out there that are looking at this kit for use with Bretonian armies, a Fireforge knight on the left and a Games Workshop Bretonian Knight on the right. For you WAB guys that’s the difference in historical 28mm and heroic 28 mm scale.

That lance is insanely long, is it not? A lance was generally 2 to 3 metres long at most. That one looks well over 3m. But maybe I'm used to stubbier lances provided by other manufacturers.

They do seem a bit long. The Dragonlances from, er, Dragonlance were that long generally, but only because they were meant to be used from dragon-back.
The one looks more like it's either some sort of spear or a flagpole with a point tip?

Working on someting you'll either love or hate. Hopefully to be revealed by November.
Play the games that make you happy. |

This is interesting, they made Livonian\Sword Brothers Knights by combining some parts from the Templars and Teutonics. Guess that shows how useful having a similar body is

It's amazing...Fireforge managed to make more cartoonish-looking miniatures than Games Workshop. Look at the side-by-side between Fireforge and Bret knights, the Fireforge guy looks like he's straight out of Gumby.
I'm quite disappointed, I was really excited about these. :(
I think Perry has some cavalry coming out soon, guess I'll wait for those.

Being well proportioned makes you gumby? Hmm thats a new one I suppose
Although I do admit, their knights do look naked/weird without their cloaks
Anyways at the risk of clogging up the news and rumors with a new thread, FF games is working on their own rules Deus Vult and also has what looks to be their plastic infantry 3 Ups

Hmm this is certainly intrigiung. On FRP games they claim to have some pre orders from Fireforge. A 4th Cavalry set (set for april 2012, obviously very off the mark) and not one but 3 infantry sets slated for august 2012 (seems to early though). These may be misquoted or something similar as other companies also might do this, such as wargames factory who have yet to actually work on anything relating to "Samurai Cavalry". Not to mention besides the Salute 3 ups there hasnt been anything official on whats coming up besides just infantry
Still food for thought
