"Fireforge "Crossbowmen"?" Topic

All,
So I am working on armies for Lion Rampant, Teutonic Knights, Poles and Pagans. How hard would it have been for Fireforge to actually provide arms that make up 12 FIRING Crossbowmen??? These pieces produce the oddest poses I have ever seen.

What set are you talking about?
The foot sergeants come with 24 crossbows in four different poses, three of whom can be easily build as firing. The last is seperate and not suited for firing, but you can use it as a stand alone weapon and use the arms with other equipment. 18 firing minis should be easy.

BTW: In addition I noticed the bodies can be matched with the Perry WotR arms with just minor tweaks (their bodies are a tiny bid wider). The armour on the arms is totally compatible. I realize that you might not have this different era-set, but if you get hold of a set (many should have spares, as the Perry sets have far more arms then bodies) there are plenty of other firing and reloading poses possble.

I'm refering to the Teutonic infantry set

Sorry, I do not own that set.

That's because they want you to buy the foot sgts. set. I ran into the same problem with the foot Templars. The one pose I really didn't get was the one with the crossbow held vertical like a long bow.

Could that be a reload-pose?

I like their Sergeants, and consider to buy their other foot sets in the near future.
