Two New Sets - Merovingian Franks and Conquistador Cavalry

Today we wanted to show you the first renders of some of the parts that would go into two new sets!

Merovingian Franks will join the Late Roman Legionaries (1): Lorica Hamata, Goths, and the two Army Builder sets for both of these in our Decline & Fall range. 

And also the Conquistador Cavalry which will complement our Conquistadors set. These will include options for part-armored, unarmored, and full-armored riders. You can of course have all unarmored horses as well  

We welcome your advice on both of these sets below! Not every part may make the final set and some parts may be added or changed before this is finalized for tooling.

Loving these… Please can you consider some pistol arms, just to make the set as versatile as possible.

Looks awesome, as usual!

I know neither of these are anywhere near complete part sets, but I’ll definitely evho the request for pistols and arquebuses with the conquistador cavalry. Also, I know they’re not necessarily the most historically accurate and definitely not quite the right time period, but would there be any chance of Carolingian helmets with the Franks, so as to expand the kit’s flexibility?

Well done guys, liking the Frank’s they will be a purchase for me.

I like the Spanish also, but just a point on the horse armour, the horse face plate should have ears attached pointing forward with the horses ears behind, not on the side.

Cheers

Horse looks pretty small compared to rider.

Yes, understand they weren’t historically big horses, but they weren’t ponies either. The rider’s head is almost as big as the horses head.

These look great!

Pistols for the cavalry would be awesome.

Speaking of Jesus Christ, it would be historically accurate to include some devout Spanish missionaries in your Conquistador line. Catholic friars such as Junipero Serra were as tough and dedicated as any soldier and were essential to the colonization effort.

The figure sets both give so much in possibilities to build, It`s a clever use of moulds to allow light and heavy horse in one set, the armour can be used as set materials, fixed to a wall, or in the back of a wagon, in a smithy, a market. Brilliant nothing ever waisted, and the dog , well my set was a brought deal as soon as my wife saw it. Thank you. Eileen and Geoff.

But they do not look very much like Ottomans!

Brilliant work on both sets. I am loving the wide variety of options. Thanks for adding wardogs! Both sets are going to also make great kitbashing fodder for so many projects. Thank you!

Why can’t so many people not read? Please read the text beneath the pictures before complaining about “to much armour”!
I personally really like the option for heavy armoured horses and riders. This makes the kit really versatile
