New Byzantines & Mongolian Royal Guard On The Way From FireForge
January 3, 2018 by brennon
FireForge Games have their sights set on some cool projects this year but they will also be adding to their existing ranges too. To begin with, we got a look at some more Byzantines with the Armoured Archers...
...who look like they might be good at holding the walls of whatever fortress or castle you're currently defending. They also showed off some render work for some lightly armoured archers too as well as fellows with spears/javelins.
Mixing these fellows in with the armoured troops will help add a bit more of a splash of colour to proceedings and give you an excuse to change up your force to make it appear more realistic compared to regimented.
Mongolian Royal Guard
The Mongolian Horde has not been forgotten either as they also showed off this early WiP (Work-In-Progress) model for the Mongolian Royal Guard.
Wearing some heavy armour, which is also incredibly nicely decorated, you'll have the pride of the Mongolian invasion force protecting your leader as you charge into battle.
You should also watch out for more of their Fantasy Knights in 2018 as well as a focus towards models designed for role-playing games which is cool.
What do you think?

Do the archers look a bit squat, or is it just me?
Mongolians: many boxes will come my way. 🙂
A Byzantine army was (more or less) my first real wargaming army many years ago (WRG 7th edition, anyone?). I’m getting all sorts of odd ideas about a small force, maybe for Saga 2.0?
WRG 7th?…Come on George play the game. I had just about managed to forget about these and you had to mention them again!
😀
I’d never go back to them, although they were fun at the time. DBM on the other hand…

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
they would be good as clay soldiers? army.
Great idea @zorg ! Red/brown spray paint and instant terra cotta army! 🙂
That Mongolian guard looks decidedly like an Uruk Hai. Were they really that ugly?
He looks very fantasy to me.
Definitely NOT historically accurate. Doesn’t even look Mongolian. Byzantines aren’t bad though.
