That was an error - I uploaded a test page by mistake. Not on sale yet - I should think next week they'll be online.

It's not really that difficult to achieve - but it would require a long response. I shall probably put some articles together on scenery. I want to do a much better one for my Scottish terrain - this is just my LOTR board. Did you notice the fish in the stream?

They look great! I thought the knight looked so-so in the first pics on frothers but I think it was just a poor pic, he looks spectacular when its less blurry. The terrain is top notch too, I envy you for the time which must have gone into it!

An article would be great, and so il wait until then to start my new board... Ha, thats a big fish that would make a tasty meal.
The standard bearer, is the flag greenstuff or something else? Looks to be thicker than paper.

question on the knight--will later knights be in plate armor or is this as I think it would be, before the popularization of plate armor?

well, technically the romans had plate armour, but I think it's before they started using it

Romans just used breast plates - Goatman means full plate armour head to foot. This really comes into being in the late 14th century. The Scottish war of Independence is 13th-early 14th century - it just starts to come in by the time of Bannockburn which is the final battle. You see the use of plate on shins and arms - but mostly what they call 'gutter' or grieves - they only go half way round the arm - still chain on the inside of the arm. Helmets tend to be of the simpler 'barrel helm' design - with some simple visors. In these early times the Knights do wear however a 'coat of plates' under the surcoat - which you can't see - but is a series of small plates sewn onto a leather jacket - so the captains will have a higher armour class than their chainmailed underlings.
In answer to your question - you will see some plate mailed figures as the series progresses - but not completely armoured - not as much as you'd expect to see on Agincourt figures for example. The Perrys do a fine range of Agincourt Knights.
