Bronze Knights!

[Wolf Knight]

Thank you so much for all your suggestions Justin!!! The wavy sword goes to the leader! Good thinking about the shield and helmet of the commander,and true, he is not necessary! Lets take him off the piscture!!

So, if we rearange them parts we'll have the following results...


sorry the pic is a little fuzzy...

I'll need to wait for the new castle sets to be released in the greek market and get the dark swords...

I am not sure about the swordsmen helmet going to the infantry though.. I placed both options next to each other to give you another visual idea...

These were indeed really fun to make!! Great potential this colour on the klickies has!!!

Any ideas what to put on the banner???

[Justindo]

They look great, Panos!  I like the changes to the leader, standard bearer, and swordsmen, once you get the dark grey swords, very much!

I have mixed feelings about the infantry helmets.  The helmet you originally had on them make them look more like traditional infantry peons.  If there were vast quantities of them compared to the more elite swordsmen and guardians, I think the use of this helmet would be fine.  If, however, there are the same number as there are guardians and swordsmen, then the new helmet increases their status, yet still puts them beneath the swordsmen, and makes them look a bit more fierce and menacing.  I think it really depends on what you're going for.

Thanks Justin!

I was hoping to go for large quantitites on the infantry, thats why the first, less grandeur, helmet selection...

I think Justindo's suggestions work very well :-)

It really depends on their "function". First thing that springs to mind is somehow using a hammer. As they look like a force of destruction, that will batter down any opposition?

Thats just my point of view of course

Good suggestion Gis.... I like the hammer... Still, i have not decided on their role... have to think about it a bit more...

Amazing Knights Sir Wolf!!!
They are great! I looooove the infantry!
They are really good looking and cant wait to face off against them in our big war!

Maybe you could make a second inf. class where you use the Pavise shields and spears.
And the infantry you have now could have swords or maces.

I'll be using the pavise shield for crossbowmen later on Warrior!!!

Good idea, but only if you are using crossbows.
If you are using the short-bows like the ones the Knights come with
Then they wont be as effective as they could be.

For short-bows give them a small shield like: A Buckler

Here is what mine will look like eventually:



You can see my cross bow me have the pavise as they would have had in period,
But my short-bow men couldn't hold a shield like that and shoot at the same time.
(Unlike crossbow-men who only need 1 hand to shoot.)

The buckler they can hold with only 2 or 3 fingers, so they could hook it around their hand while shooting, or tie it on their belts.

These are all looking great!
