"9th Age" Albion pegasus knights from Fireforge...

http://www.fireforge-games.com/webstore/9th-age/foot-sergeants-16-details



Didn't know that Fireforge were getting into Fantasy, but it makes sense for them to step into the Bretonnian void medieval fantasy market.

Apparently Fireforge are working on some Scandinavian Infantry ..............................



Don't tell Mathi ............................

and they released these at Crisis in November - not sure if we have discussed their Medieval Archers set already ...............




and whilst we're in Fireforge mode, not sure if we have mentioned these Russians?



I bought some at SELWG in October and they are really good. Bit skinny for matching with GW size plastics, but good historical figures to match up with all the other Dark Ages/Medieval plastics out there from Gripping Beast, Perry, Northstar etc.

The Scandinavians could be Nordland, Ostland, maybe even Middenland.

The archers look more like Brets.

The Russians could be Kislev.

Don't give them ideas!

The models look nice, though.

They are rather small, significantly more than the Sergeants. The Firecast resin minis though are near spot on to GW scale 28mm humans, or at least the Russian militia ones. The material is very similar to finecast though a bit better some of the casts on the feet are not so good. Using them to make Kislev Streltsi, ideally I'll have so pic up before the new year after the pre-Christmas rush dies down.

Those skeletons are the best I've ever seen, because of their inspiration. Amazing work.

Those "Scandinavians", when I first saw them, my thought was "Normans whose assimilation into French has progressed about 37%"
The only good thing about 7th ed heads is that they look particularly inbred and superstitious which is perfect for Stirlanders

Ral Partha Europe pirate dwarfs. I think Marienburg may need a few of these.

I like them, yet wonder if they are the standard Ral Partha size, because if they are, then it'll be more like 25mm at best than 28mm or GW 28mm.

I think most of the more recent RP & RPE stuff has been closer to the usual "heroic" scale stuff. It's mostly the older stuff -- like the re-released "Chaos Wars" stuff -- that that looks out of scale.

Seems like a broad range of shield styles. They look a bit small, even compared to some of  the other historical figures. Would be interested in a scale shot. Still, they look good - I like the sculpting quality.
