Picked up a box of these at Claymore last Saturday.

Linky - http://www.grippingbeast.com/webpage.php?PageID=90

Undecided whether to use them for Nel's Historical Kings of War, or just start getting them ready as a human regiment.

I've been looking for an excuse to get these!

I'm kicking around using Dark Age figs for my humans. Gotta see the list first, though.

Probably gonna buy mine from a variety of different sources, but It'll be the same idea as with my orcs, soul-bound to my necromancer Kha'sebek.

Wow, those pics of the vikings are gorgeous! But those are very fine paint jobs I could never achieve myself, amazing shields!. On the topic of models for KoW humans, I saw these plastic Normans advertised. Conquest makes cavalry, a metal command set, and has Norman infantry planned for the next couple of months. I so totally want to make a Crusades army out of them...

Spot on Gerry.

I have a box of the Knights already, and I'm just waiting to see the Human list, so that, once I work out how many cavalry units I can shoehorn into an army, I'll pick up a few more boxes.  Possibly the 5 for £80.

Interestingly, you get 4 riders per sprue, yet only 3 horses...


Thankfully, they do separate horse sprues, so, if you pick up some horse sprues you can make 16 Knights per box rather than 12.  The dead knight unit filler would also help to bulk out units, as, due to the space it takes up, counts as 2 models.
