going into Month 3 of 100 years war releases, this Month,(august) we start the French! and also the first go of any mounted Knights! i sculpted this month alongside the September Releases back to back, like the english in june/july, they will combine to make the beginnings of a French army so we will show that off mid next month.
The Metal Kits for These are all Done and Ready to go awaiting photography, we will do a Post for them Seperatly,
so starting with the 2 Knights Kits, we have 1 set with basinets, and optional visors, and another with great helmets, both have 1 couched lance and 1 upright, they are done in a similar style to the foot knights from June, and the heads and visors will be compatible with those figures, i currently have 2 new horses for these guys, pictured here mirrored, believe it or not, doing the robes on these horses takes alot longer then youd think, and personally look bad when rushed, so im replacing the old, "Robed Horses" pack with a new Barded horses pack which ill be putting the new horses in 1 at a time ongoingly,
these are only the first mounted knights, i have more on the way with different gear and Armour sets,
moving onto the 2 infantry Kits, we have French Spearman with Shields or Pavises, and Genowise Crossbowmen, both these are listed as Kit 1, because next month is the Kit 2, so by september youll have 2 complete units of 8,
both these kits come with Shields and pavises, we have 16 new pavises, 4 are flat boards as are on the spearman, and 12 later pavises in a variety of shapes,
these 2 kits Share some new armour components, namely coat of plates, and some brigadines, and a bunch of new helmets, specificaly on the french spearman there are some helmets based of some manuscripts, (this is more so in kit 2 then 1) but each figure is quite diverse from one another,
next month is September, we will cover 2 French Characters, and the additonal 8 Infantry, after which we will move onto Mounted Men at arms
