Mounted Men At Arms Information
Greetings from Singapore!
Very pleased to inform you of the release of two new sets for the “60mm Medieval Wars – Chainmail Armor Series” as follows:-
60 HYW 09 W Mounted Men-at-Arms (White Steel)
60 HYW 09 B Mounted Sergeants (Black Steel)
The two sets contain the same models except in different plastic colors. (I used different titles to minimize error.)
There will be two more box sets in this supplementary series (both due September 2022):-
60 HYW 10 Mercenary Crossbowmen
60 HYW 11 Command (includes Fighting Bishop, Standard Bearer, and Foot Knights)
All sets will be offered in two colors.
The shields in this series bear the insignias of the military orders: Hospitaller, Templar, Teutonic and Common Crusader. They can be mixed or assembled to form banners, small military units, from the military orders. These shields can also be used with our existing sets (HYW series) to assemble forces of the various Orders.
60 HYW 06 B is the same as the above except for the plastic color.
The epitome of medieval chivalric combat is the mounted charge with the lance. This mode of combat becomes established in western Europe by the 12th Century. The momentum of the galloping horse, the underarm couched lance, the cantled saddle, the stirrup, and the vamplate on the lance to prevent the lance from sliding backward from the hand grip upon impact, all work together to make the chivalric charge … punching through the walls of Babylon! Our model above is designed with this in mind.
60 HYW 09 W Mounted Men-at-Arms in Chainmail Armor (White Steel color)
The set contains 5 model soldiers plus 5 horse models, comprising of 1 knight-officer and 4 mounted men-at-arms in two tactical postures; charging and advancing in support. The heads and arms are interchangeable to enable the assembly of different postures.
The remaining sets are already completed and in the production queue for release in September 2022.
Next Release
The next set in the production queue is the 54mm War of 1812, US Light Dragoons.
Current work-in-progress. Congreve rocket for 1812.
Stay safe.
Cheers,
Scott
As usual, elegantly done.
I don’t know if Scott plans on doing Normans but some of the mounted with the addition of kite shields and minus the chainmail leggings make a great Norman cavalry.
I agree for earlier period ,still for XIII period they still can be used as Normans too .I believe he will cover that period soon after this .
So many Great Figures out there !
