Oh, wow, those look amazing!

I gather then that the eventual plan is to do Saracen/non-christian foemen after first filling out this range? (As the traditional enemy of the crusader.) Excellent. Plastic Musselmen!

Maybe some Poles and Lithuanians too even?

Horse sprue

Quite possibly the best standard plastic horse for a grunt i have ever seen.

SOLD.

When can I buy?

These look really nice, I cant wait to get some when they become available.

They're available for pre order at Fire Forge Games! I was thinking of getting some myself.

But when do they actually release?

I have no idea, but I'm waiting util then.

Their Facebook page has a comment which says the kit will be released the last week of January.

Hell yeah! I'm waiting until they are legit out, but Im super excited. Great kit.

Northstar states that they will have the kit on February 10th.

New photo from FireForge of the assembled figures.

Hmm, FF says they're shipping on the 14th

The logistic nightmare of organizing several shippings for product frames, printed boxes, miniature bases etc. is settled and solved. Considering printing, moulding, shipping times of loose frames as well as packaging times for shippings to retailers and customers worldwide, we’ll be able to start sending our first boxes from 14th February. DEUS VULT!

Also, dem sprues!

Hmm my Empire army is looking closer than ever now!

Painted knights are here

Hmmm according to their website, the Knights should be shipping on the 14/15th. Guess that means they're almost here

Heh, I cant believe I first heard about these guys back in the summer. Time sure does fly by

Then it would have been a fort knight

Boooooooo.

Also, awesome looking painted minis. I can never get white to look that good.

Its been confirmed via FB that the first boxes have been sent out. Wow look at them boxes

As soon as I have some god damn money. Now I have to actually work on getting a job. boooo

Has anyone who ordered theses fine looking miniatures got them yet?
I pre ordered some and thought they may have come today.

Or am I just being impatient

I live in the uk but have no idea where they are being shipped from. Hope someone can enlighten me.

Still waiting for mine. I pre-ordered back in December & they charged my account on 2-7-12. I think they have a distribution agreement with Alliance in the US - not sure if they will ship direct or if I need to wait for an extra stop over.

Your order shipped with all USA orders on 15th February and it takes 8-10 working days for USA. We charged most accounts one week before shipping but it was not intentional. The shipment from the factory of our very first frames should have arrived at our warehouse during the first week of February but they arrived late (14th February) for the VERY BAD snowy weather that hit Europe last weeks. We packaged and tried to ship the first boxes as fast as we could. Distributors in UK (our frames are manufactored there) were the very first ones to have them, even before us! for this exceptional weather situation.

A little patience for these very first shipments, we didn't have nothing in stock.....this run of production is the starting stock!
You'll be very satisfied when you'll receive your box.

Oooh... nice! Horned helmet is the spitting image of my Hero John De Sully! real guy, absolute hero! Lived to be 105 dont cha know!

@Von Fabian: I'm a patient guy. Warlord charged me in January for the Phalangites pre-order which were delivered 30 days later in February. I actually take the account charge as a positive sign - that the product has moved from WIP to 'for sale'.

According to TMP, several people have gotten their shipments so thats a good sign

My Knights arrived yesterday. The kit is well sculpted and well cast with very few mold lines. The body and weapons of the knight are slim/trim and a good match for most other historical plastic kits. What makes this kit stand out is the volume occupied by the assembled model - with capes and arms and barding flying off the figure - the completed model appears to be much bigger than it actually is.

Pro/con
The rider/horse join is the best I've ever seen in a cavalry kit. There is an obvious line where the two halfs of the horse come together - those with modeling OCD will want to use a touch of putty. I wish the horse head was not a flat join to the body - once again, some modelers will want to clean up that joint. While working with the hand weapons included on the frame (sword/axe/mace/flail) I was immediately struck by the desire for a dismounted knights kit using these weapons.
