Anything new for 2008?

I just wondered what can we expect to see next year in this range?

I've also wondering what to get for Christmas and I think that the Heroes of the Rebellion will be getting added to my wish-list!

Yum, yum!

Well, at the moment I am working on more varied models for the Longbow and also generic English knights for the cavalry

Excellent news. Any thoughts on producing seperate head packs for conversion work? In particularly helmeted heads would be very useful.

Thanks!

If you mean will I produce a pack of just heads or weapons, the answer is probably not if I'm honest. With current cost of metal its just not profitable - I'd likely be making a loss with them unless you fancy paying £5 for 3 heads.

Having said that, you do get 3 heads with the Scottish knight, and a spare helmet with the armoured Wallace model - and I think they've worked really well, so I'm planning to do that again with any future knight models, so as you collect the models you will have spare bits to play with.

I really like this idea, Ebob. I'd be willing to pay a $ more for a pack of knights/pikemen etc if they included a healthy sprue of extras to allow customization as I build the ranges. I'm also excited for the new english cav knights you've shown the greens for., with their alternate arms etc.

Long term do you plan to offer generic mounted English and Scottish charachter figs (like the current generic infantry captains) so if we don't want to have Edward or the Bruce leading cavalry units we can make our own hero from the historical lists?

Oh, and are the English Heavies going to have the eye moved on the horse?

Cheers!

Any plans for variation on the Scots archers?
