Renaissance Cavalry - Choices!
Who would have expected the last Vox Populi winner to produce not just one but TWO hard plastic sets!
Because Rob Macfarlane had created so many great parts we decided to build out two full sets (spread across four different frames!) to make Conquistador Cavalry AND Renaissance Heavy Cavalry.
For those of you who put a pre-production order in this means you now have some choices to make with your purchases or decide how you want to mix and match multiple sets in your order.
So here's what we're going to do. We're going to show off the frames below and show you what's in each set and then we'll be emailing all the pre-production order holders to get your decision.
The talented Mr. Steve Beckett is painting the sets now and once he's finished Henry Hyde will be creating the boxes and they'll be off to print. We expect an October release for these. (And then the NEXT Vox Populi winner will be announced! So get those votes in!)
Without further ado...first we have Peter Dennis' lovely illustrations:
Next both sets will be built on top of our Medium Horses frame. You will receive four of these in each box (don't use the saddle blankets though!):
We also have a shared frame that gives you the saddles (that are designed to fit on the horses bare backs) along with all the heads, shields, scabbarded swords, and the doggos! You'll also get four of these in each set. Yes, that's a LOT of doggos!
And now is where the sets differ. First we have WAARN003 Conquistador Cavalry. These are soldiers in lighter armor with a mix of sword and lance (and you can build all models with all of either). You will get four of these frames in the box:
And then finally we have the main frame for WAARN006 Renaissance Heavy Cavalry. This is a full frame that includes horse armor, both matchlock and wheelock pistols (even a left handed one), and enough swords and lances to outfit everyone. There are also holstered pistols and enough weapons to outfit every figure in the set with one type. You'll notice there are four bodies on this frame. We gave you an extra one to create a slightly more "fancy" ruffle collared type if you so wish. This is a 12-figure set but adding in some of our Medium Horses will get you 16!
So there you have it! Conquer the New World or deploy to the battlefields of Europe or Asia or Africa!
We'll be emailing all the pre-production order folks in the next couple days to lock in your choices.
WAARN003 Conquistador Cavalry - 12 figures - $34.95/£25
WAARN006 Renaissance Heavy Cavalry - 12 figures - $39.95/£30
Once the boxes are done we'll have them on pre-order for everyone!
