It's been a while since we've given a update on all things Medieval... there's lots going on in the background, so we thought we'd do a quick recap!
Our evergrowing Medieval and Crusades range covers the 12th and 13th Centuries, and if you include our Norman range you can start from the 1 st Crusade in the 11 th Century all the way to the last Crusader state at the end of the 13 th Century.
As you know, our Medieval mounted knights are already available, and these have been a fantastic success. The knights were our biggest release to date, and soon they will be joined by Eastern forces, starting with Islamic infantry and then Islamic heavy cavalry.
Following not too far behind will be the Foot Knights and then later, the Foot Sergeants (new renders can be seen below, with lot's more to follow).
But we won't be stopping there, we have some things in the pipeline for this range which will have you guys salivating! We will share these in due course. Let us know if there's anything you are hoping for...
After the success of the Western Medieval Knights, we turn Eastwards next with the release of the Islamic Infantry & Archers set. These will be ready very soon, so be ready!
Hot on their heels will be the Islamic cavalry, which is shaping up to be a truly magnificent set.
The Islamic Infantry & Archers:
This set comprises of 48 figures. These represent Islamic infantry of the Middle East and Spain from the 7 th Century onwards into the Crusader era of the 12 th and 13 th centuries.
This set will allow you to create spearmen, swordsmen and archers, plus you get command figure parts such as standard bearer arms, trumpets and drums to create the loud cacophony that accompanied Islamic troops into battle.
There are 22 individual heads to choose from on each frame giving you 132 heads in total!
The archer figures can be made into spearmen and the spearmen figures can be made into archers, so there is a massive amount of variation can be achieved with this new set.
A BIG range of LBMS shield transfers and flag sheets will be accompanying these new figures.
But of course the mounted Knights will not be left to fend for themselves for too long... Foot Sergeants and Foot Knights are on their way. These will be released in the new year.
We will also be adding a huge selection of new transfers for the Western Knights, allowing you to build knights from all across Europe.
Plenty of exciting sets and news coming from Victrix in the coming months as well as an update on our brand new 28mm WW2 range and yet more in the pipeline for our Dark Ages and Ancients ranges (You don’t think we have forgotten those do you?).
If you haven't already, get your knights ready for the onslaught...
This set can be used as Knights and Men at arms that fought from the late 12 th to mid 13 th Century during the Crusades, the Barons War and the many conflicts that raged throughout Feudal Europe during this time of turmoil.
