So, you guys aren;t going to try and price your stuff cheaper so as to generate possible sales vs the perry's, etc?

Heh, pretty awesome to see company people here. Its always great to see the minds of the industry lower themselves to us forum dwellers!

I kid I kid! I have great respect to those who arent afraid to get into public forums to have a chat and see peoples opinions

**lord marcus**

Same here, I kinda want more info on if there will be any way to get involved besides liking on facebook.

**Pacific**

Great stuff, and good to see the model creator appearing on here as well!

Lovely looking artwork and very evocative. I can see the potential for a new army coming out of this

**Von Fabian**

I have uploaded a slideshow video with some new pictures of the 3up Resin Copies we have. Here is the Link:

I'll upload pics of these 3up resin copies on our Facebook album very soon.

**RandyMcStab**

Hiya, they're looking pretty good!

Nice choice of music too, reminded me I haven't seen 'Excalibur' for too long!

Any danger of Foot Knights as I'm looking for some for my HYW army..

**shingouki**

I completely agree with Chibi.
Good luck to you and everyone involved with Fireforge Games. This is looking to be an excellent range of models.

**warspawned**

I'm looking forward to seeing the final product - I don't think I'm the only one who as a kid had an affinity for teutonic/arthurian knights (I still fondly remember the epic colouring book I had & numerous castle trips), and it's great to see them in 28mm plastic. The artwork is fantastic and it's great to see another company entering the fold - I wish all at Fireforge the best of luck over the next few months. Bring on the Knights on foot!

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Some of us had these chaps from Timpo, Warspawned

Added to the love of Arthurian tales you mention probably explains why I am so fascinated by the Fireforge release
The sub conscious desire for childhood things is a powerful thing

**Pacific**

These are looking great! Combined with some Perry miniatures foot infantry (for archers, halbadiers and the like) and some armoured foot knights (representing Great Swords) and I think that could be a very cheap and effective historical-version style Empire army!

Hmm crusader/early knights though fit in with brets more. Although Perry is already making late medieval knights anyways

**resipsa**

same as everyone else, cost and quantity will be the most important for me... though I have no plans of making these guys into brets but just having them if they are of good quality (still a sucker for AOE II stuff and crusades related models). Regarding the helmets, I believe it was the "Ritterbrüder " that wore the big fancy ones when they were able to afford such embellishments to their armor.

**Von Fabian**

I posted 21 photos on Facebook in the album "Teutonic Knights WIP" of some 3UP Resin Copies.
Some of them are present in the movie i posted earlier.

They look extremely good Fabio. I can't wait to see how they'll mix with my old bretonnian metals.

Yes, I agree in theme, but rules-wise Brets have no heavy infantry option (to let you use men-at-arms models). Also, you can use crossbows/aquibusiers as handgunners in an Empire army directly.

Then it would have been a fort knight

Come on, you made me snort milk out of my nose.

**lord marcus**

Bob Naismith has been confirmed as the sculptor over on warseer.

**Kanluwen**

How does he keep getting work?

**lord marcus**

By being a good sculptor? I'm certainly a fan of his work.

If by "good" you mean "refusing to advance his style past what was acceptable before some of the posters on Dakka was born", then I guess I can understand it.

His Starship Troopers stuff outside of the bugs was atrocious.

**lord marcus**

Well, I think the mantic revenants that he sculpted are ace, and these knights look pretty dang modern as far as sculpting goes to me. But then, we all have differing opinions.

**Pacific**

Some of the Starship troopers stuff was really good, such as the exo suits (with the exception of the 'Skinnies' perhaps, but then I thought the entire concept for them needed to go back to the drawing board).

**lord marcus**

Indeed. I agree with pacific. I think he's a good choice for these knights.

**Kilkrazy**

It's very nice to see another new company doing plastic historicals.

**kenshin620**

A bit late but found this post from the 19th on their face book

About their size what we are trying to achieve is an halfway scale between classic historical Perry size and "heroic" GW. In this way, we are trying to make them reasonably compatible with both. We cannot say, for sure, that we were able to do that until the moulds are complete but from our calculations on the 3up master sculptures, it should be the case. They are not going to havethe "exagerated/heroic" features of GW ones since they must be compatible with historical too but they should fit very well.
Think about the old GW Bretonnian knights, they were some of the miniatures we took as reference in pre-sculpting meetings.

**Azazelx**

I like these. I have no particular use for them insofar as a Brettonian or Germanic army, but if they're priced right, I'll buy them just to paint up.

**kenshin620**

Nothing new model wise

They has some more art though

**Von Fabian**

OUR WEBSITE IS FINALLY UP!

**Pacific**

Looks great!

I like the fact that there are lots of extra parts in the boxset, allowing more customisation.

Gee-dub is 28mm.
