"Review: Conquest Games Medieval Archers " Topic

"Hey-hey, today I will present some info, my opinion and insights on Conquest Games' most recent release – a set of 28mm plastic Medieval Archers.

This release has been quite anticipated as up until this there wasn't really any plastic set which covered this area. Gripping Beast's Dark Age Warriors didn't have any archers, Wargames Factory's Saxon Fyrd box had a few bows, but overall wasn't too well received and of course due to the sad demise of WGF are not available any more. Fireforge don't cover this particular subject either…"

Thanks. I have to say, though, that I think their other two kits are way better. Its almost impossible to create realistic poses with aiming or shooting archers with that kit.

If you go to the review, there is an image with the built set. The right arm simply does not fit, and there is only one left arm that looks slightly active. I you aim to build archers just standing around, its fine. On another note I found the heads a bit oversized for the bodies. If you own their other kits, its no problem, though, and the kitbashing opportunities make the box worth it. Just do not expect a firing line, or a pose like the one depicted in the first posting.

No mention my friend.

Good points!.

Perry Brothers has lots of medieval archers for the 100 Year War period in plastic (and generally include a sprue of Men at Arms so you can do most of a DBA army from one box).

Fireforge has a better set of injection-moulded archers in the works.
