Perry Miniatures Preview New Historical Plastic Kits
January 16, 2014 by brennon
Perry Miniatures do some of the best plastic kits out there and they are set to most likely do the same with their new Light Cavalry and Foot Knights which you can see previewed below from the Plastic Workbench.
The Foot Knights will come in a box of around thirty six (yep, that's a lot!) and feature the standard mix of poses and options for making them look unique on the battlefield.
The Light Cavalry will come as a box of twelve with the ability to be assembled as either crossbowmen or archers for a bit of quick moving fire support around the battlefield.
Both these kits sounds like they are going to be utterly awesome and the Foot Knights especially have my attention.
What do you think?
More historical bun ting shizzle from da man dem A & M Pizzle.
looking great
The Perrys goes from strength to strength and it’s hard to think of anyone who is doing better historical miniatures right now.
They have my attention most certainly. Looks great!
Perry brothers’ historical plastics are among the best. But weren’t these sets previewed a quite some time ago on their own site? At least I remember seeing these very pictures over six months ago. Hopefully both these will come out this year.
contacted them back in October and they’d only just begun the preliminary work with Renedra… tbh, I don’t mind the wait, because you can be pretty sure they’ll be top-knotch when they do eventually come out…. Foot knights… yum..
Personally I’m not very fond of Perry plastics… but the recent advent of these plastic kits has pretty completely revolutionezed the economics of wargaming. 15mm lead tends to be more expensive PER FIGURE than 28mm plastics…
15 mil is fantastic (especially if you have a God complex haha) but the flexibility of the new plastics we’re seeing is unsurpassed. Mixing and matching kits I have a Middenheim army (Perry & GB vikings), Napoleonic volunteer infantry (AWI British & ACW infantry), Royal navy landing parties (ACW Infantry, few Perry British infantry parts), Arthurians (mix of Warlord Celts & Romans) – the price and flexibility is incredible, and, as kits slowly get retooled and re-released I think the quality and diversity can only get better… (sorry, bit of a perry fan boy, don’t hold that against me haha)
