[Pro Gloria Miniatures]

Time for an update again  This time the first miniature of the command frame (total of two with many options for musicians, banners and a great variation of heads including helmets, hats and bare heads).

Excellent  Now make a unit of ten full plate knights on foot, just like this one and you have a bestseller.

Well, the Perry Brothers just did that, and the box has 38 figures in it:



@Stephan - the command guy looks great!  Is that the 10th body, or is there another landsknecht body we have not yet seen?

[Pro Gloria Miniatures]

10th Landsknecht will follow soon You haven't seen him yet.

Yes, yes, I know, I was following their development, but alas they are more 25mm than 28mm, so not really so usefull, if you want to mix them with GW figs. On the other hand Pro gloria figs are very close to GW figs.

[Fandir Nightshade]

Really looking forward to order the overall set as I think they will really help with my Halberdier Hordes as I really dislike the GW ones.

Another great miniature. Really looking forward to these. 
Will there be extra feathers, pouches and small weapons?

Not wanting to derail from Pro Gloria's awesome project, but I should have those covered (in metal at least) in the near future:

Now, with all the excitement about the Perry plastic knights on foot, I assume interest for these will be more limited, but I'm still getting on with the human footknights for my project, which will be somewhat closer to the correct bulk and timeperiod than the Perry's and good old classic metal.

Mick Darpa has finished the first of the body dollies, helmet blanks and weapons. The idea is to have the dollies and bits moulded and then have various different knightly orders and command sets sculpted on them. I will probably also make the body dollies available as such, for converters who want to use plastic arms and heads on them.

These are the first three. There will be more body variants (6 in all) and for those concerned about the first body not having fully armoured legs, there will be a fully armoured variant converted after moulding.







The helmets are just blanks at this point. After moulding, these will be decorated with various feathers, plumes and icons to reflect different knightly orders. The first knightly orders will likely reflect the ones I created for my Dwarf knights ("vanilla" Imperial knights, White Boar, Great Bear, Raven & skulls) though others may appear.



These are some of the weapons that will get used in the various sets. Where possible, I will try to make the weapon hand a separate part, so you can mix and match and aren't restricted to specific weapon options for specific knightly orders.

No worries; I for one intend to buy from both of you.   

[Pro Gloria Miniatures]

@Sebastian: they look great! Do remind me of the Mordheim Capt'n. 

@thorimm: yes, extra feathers, pouches, swords and other useful stuff.

And I'm looking forward to it, for these kind of figs I prefer metal anyway.

New Hasslefree mini - could easily be converted to a witchhunter.

As the Crowdfunding-Campaign comes nearer and nearer, I wanted to show you one of the pledge-miniatures. This time sculpted by the very talented Paul Hicks.

[Padre]

They're gorgeous. I love them, and will very likely try to get a hold of some.

[Timbor]

Looks great, I would love to get some firmer dates for when we can expect the crowdfunding.  Just for proper hobby-fund allocation.

[DariusZero]

They are looking great. This kickstarter will be success, I'm sure.

[Midaski]

New Perry stuff on the workbench:

Light Cavalry:









and for later this year ...........

[Midaski]

This might also be interesting as it has details of the helmets in the foot knights set I think:

[Timbor]

Man, they Perrys are coming out with some really great stuff.  Those men at arms look great! 

[Cal1989]

The great thing about this is I can now seperate my big jumbled unit of metal perry men at arms from the agincourt and the war of the roses ranges into two separate units with the correct period armour. The joys of painting another 72 Greatswords for the sake of historical accuracy!

[Victor]

[Timbor]

WOOOOOOOO! 

[Darknight]

I'm liking those men at arms - those would make good variant greatswords or halberdiers.

[Ursa Doom]

I do wonder how long it will take for Pro-Gloria to be shipping the plastic units after the kickstarter?

[Realjuan]

@ProGloria: Could you give us an update when your shop is online again. Looking forward to your indiegogo
