Aren't their figures on the small side as well??? |

I have their Normans, they work fine, box art a bit "wonky" tho. |

I had their Norman Knights for a while. Nice figures, good size, no complaints. Keen to see what else they end up doing. |

The figures look small, but I have mixed heads from Gripping Beast, Frostgrave, Fireforge etc and found they all fit perfectly. You didn't hear it from me, but the next set would be early feudal knights fitting somewhere between their Normans and Fireforge. |

I think the "Norman Knights" are very good, especially due to the shoulders being integrated. I can only recommend them for the 10-12th century. Alas, the archers are a step beyond. Its not easy to create realistic poses, none with actually shooting a bow, and most heads – while very characterful – look a bit oversized for the bodies. Overall some of the bodies look a bit bulkier then their other set, but not to a degree that will look off even when you place them next to each other. If you are of the "just assemble, do not bother me with hassle" crew you will probably not like them, though those who see the assembly as a creational phase (like me) the set offers some fine new parts. Some of the heads will look exceptional on other minis (like Fireforge, or GW) and while the arms are too short for most other brands you do get two bows per mini, one long, one short, and you can use almost all surplus arms with these when you cut them right. You didn't hear it from me, but the next set would be early feudal knights fitting somewhere between their Normans and Fireforge. :-) And we didn't here that they will probably take another two years… |

Are there any comparative pics of them against the other contenders?
