Getting Some Renaissance Fantasy Humans

You've looked allover the blog and drooled at some of the wonderful specially commissioned figures (just admit it, there is no shame) and now you want to get some.

As exposed elsewhere on the blog, this is first and foremost a private project and not a commercial venture and there are no plans at present to make it one. This blog is not a webshop and I am not a company. This being said, I understand the cruelty of dangling these in front of you and then saying you can't get any. So, on these pages, I will offer the possibility to buy some as long as supplies last. The aim here is not to earn a profit, everything that is left after deducting the (various) costs will be invested back into getting more figures made.

So the easiest way would be to write your wants list in an e-mail and send it to wknight192@live.be, along with your address and we will get back to you with a shipping quote.

Pack prices are indicated in the "Getting Some" section and are subject to change if the costs go up.

Shipping is at cost. Outside the UK postage will be Air Mail Small Packets unless "signed for" is requested.

* KRISTIN WEISZ

* COUNTESS WEISZ 

The Graf's new wife. Noone really knows where she came from, though she herself says she descends from a royal lineage and claims the title of "Queen of Hearts". Tensions have been running high between the Graf's daughters and their stepmother...

WKM-83: The Queen of Hearts (1) (sculpted by Shane Hoyle)

What you get: 1 Queen of Hearts. No bases included.

What you pay: £4

* THE WHITE KNIGHT

This ageing knight is clad in shiny white armour, with a helmet shaped after a horse's head and carries some frankly odd equipment. Upon mention of his presence in the Empire, it is said the Graf's new wife reacted with visible shock, suggesting perhaps that this White Knight may have traveled from the same place whence she came.

WKM-84: The White Knight (1) (sculpted by Drew Williams)

What you get: 1 White Knight body + 2 horse halves + 2x reins. No bases included.

Note: the reins are a fragile part in this kit, which is why I include a spare copy. Try not to break them both. :)

What you pay: £12

Halfling Rooster Rider Chickstarter!

If, like me, you've been waiting (im)patiently for the halfling rooster riders to be released, the wait is over and my friends at The Assault Group are launching them (as well as the back catalog of halflings if all goes well) through Kickstarter now:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/584137481/tag-28mm-halfling-militia-rooster-rider-miniatures

It seems that while I was posting this, they are already funded too!

Some gorgeous painted pictures to let you drool:

Halfling Mounted Archer Greens

Coming soon to a The Assault Group Kickstarter near your home, the second Halfling Light Cavalry Rider option (to go with the roosters): mounted archers, sculpted by Juan Montaño.

Human Templar Knights of the God of Death - Greens

After the generic "Imperial" footknights and the Knights of the White Boar, it is now the turn to present the Templars of the God of Death: human knights armed with greatswords and displaying skull and raven heraldry, two subjects generally associated with their patron god.

The Order specialises in fighting undead, though they will of course oppose evil in any form where it is encountered.

The figures are sculpted with Mick Darpa and a command set will be added.

Knights of the White Boar on foot - Greens

It's been a while without any new greens, but that's about to change now. I've previewed the Boar Knight command set a while ago and Mick Darpa has just finished these rank and file knights for the Order. There are five poses, displaying all new boar heraldry in their helmet crests and shields. These will be armed with the same morning stars as the command set, as that is their orders prefered weapon, but will be fully compatible with the spare weapons included in the "vanilla" human footknight sets with plumes and feathers.

All 5 variants:

5 new themed shields:

A closer look at each knight:

 And a reminder of what their command group looks like (more on them here):

Meanwhile, the dwarf footknights are on kickstarter, with some painted samples. Please support them if you're interested, the kickstarter also opens up discounted sales of the whole dwarf range:

Halfling Light Cavalry - The Mounts

Not so long ago, I've shown the rider models for the halfling light cavalry with spears. These will normally fit on the dwarven ponies for a traditional mount, but if you like something a bit more quirky and fluffy, here are the sculpts for the proper halfling mounts. The prototype model was sculpted by Brad Shier, with some conversions for the other poses by John Pickford:

 

For an idea of relative size of rider to rooster, here's an example of the original prototype sculpted by Brad Shier, painted by him, with an unreleased rider that is now also in The Assault Group's hands;

Fate of the Goblin and Slim Halfling range

The Kev Adams sculpted goblins and slim halflings have been gone from the "Getting some" section of the blog for a while now.

The reason is these have joined Macrocosm Miniatures "Short Wars" project.

"Short Wars is a skirmish Fantasy game based on a Company of your own design fighting for King/Queen/Dark Lord and country, raiding and plundering neighbors territories in search for fortune and fame.
We have 2 whole factions of miniatures that will be released this month. The Evil Goblins (Sculpted by Kev Adams the Goblin Master) and the Heroic Haflings (Kev Adams) with Dark Dwarves and their opposing cousins not long after them with some Ogre, Trolls and other big beasties to support them. Some of you will recognize some of the miniatures that were available for a limited time via White Knights blog. We have decided to take them from the small corner of the web and bring them to a bigger market. We have also teamed up with the chaps at Hasslefree to liberate some of their miniatures to add to the Shortwars world. We will be expanding on this range to take it from the 11 initial sculpts to a full faction of 40+ sculpts with cavalry and artillery. 
We intend to release over 200 individual sculpts over the next few months to give you variety to your skirmish games or to add some interesting flavors to your massed battle games. We will not be going to Kickstarter for the 1st 3 Armies and have funded the project ourselves. If we can get the support from the community then we will not need to use Kickstarter to fund future ranges.
The rules and faction lists will be free to download online in the coming weeks, these will be updated with input from the community before we go to print later in the year.
We are looking forward to bringing more whole ranges to your gaming table throughout 2016.
Watch out in the coming days for more information about the releases. There is a peak at some of the miniatures in the Shortwars fan group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1653075104941110/members/"

The figures are up in their webshop for pre-order now: Goblins and Halflings

To summarise the current wherabout of the range:
- Goblins and slim halflings at Macrocosm Miniatures
- Dwarfs and plump halflings at The Assault Group
- Humans, zombies and Hors Série remain with me on the blog
- Sea Elves... to be confirmed later

Dwarf Footknight Standard and Landgriffon Variant Greens

As promised a few days ago, here are the final greens for the dwarf footknight and landgriffon sets, soon to be released through The Assault Group.

To complete the dwarf footknight command set, here is the standardbearer with exchangeable standard tops:

Depending on whether you'll be using him as an Imperial, Boar or Raven/skull knight standardbearer, the helmet tops from the mounted knight command group will be supplied, for him and the musician as well:

 Next are the two variant poses for the landgriffons. These will join the two original models to make up a set of 4 different landgriffons:

In addition to the plumes already shown with the original 2 landgriffon greens, there will be themed headcrests for the griffons to go with the knights of the white boar and the templars of the God of Death riders:

Finally, here are a couple more arm variants for the footknights shown earlier:

They are to go with these bodies for more different poses:

More new stuff to follow shortly!
