This is a pre-order for a product which we should receive by 1/7/24.
The mail is the finest Victrix have produced, as it needed to work over the full legs and arms, but still needed to remain crisp and sharp - which is exactly what they've achieved.
Movement and dynamism as well as accuracy and detail were the objectives with this set. You can see from the leans in the saddle, to the raised and dipped shoulders wielding their variety of weapons, and their billowing surcoats and barding on the charging horses that they've more than achieved this.
There is a massive choice of 18 heads in this set covering the varying and changing styles from the late 12th to the mid 13th Century. There are some open faced designs which then started to add the metal face guard and then to the completely enclosing barrel helms. Later Great helms and Sugar loaf helms will be covered in a later set.
There are a variety of shield shapes, mostly heater style, both long and short, but also a teardrop option in there as this had not totally dropped out of use at this time.
