Hey all, I have done a couple of reviews looking at the Dragon Rampant rules and also looked at Conquest Games Medieval Archers:

I find myself somehow unwilling to listen to podcasts or spend time watching videos. Sorry.

On the archers…
Imho the archers are two grades below their other two boxes, just "bearable". You cannot create realistic shooting positions, the heads are mostly too large and the arms are often awkward. Without the option to combine these with their other sets I would class them even lower. Sorry to say so, but after their first two sets (of which I own several each) I would have expected better.

No probs, video's aren't for everyone.. i actually prefer them to they're previous releases they have a lot more movement in the figures and a lot more options for them. The previous box the figures felt far to samey, and figures had basic detail. I thought they have improved greatly on their previous releases.

I'm the opposite of Puster re: the reviews – I find/found them useful.

Actually I am glad that you like them. I certainly do not want Conquest to stop producing kits.

Excellent review of the archers. Even though I don't need another box of minis,I suspect I'll end up buying these !!
Keep up the good work with the reviews
