Aus der Warseer Diskussion:The box is going to have 12 knights and they will priced at the same price range of Perry/Warlord plastic cavalry, 18-20 british pounds
Hi,
I'd like to introduce myself:
I'm Fabio the owner of the new Wargaming Miniature Comany, Fireforge Games and i'm happy to answer some questions appeared in this post.
About "decorated" helmets and their historical use by the Teutonic Knights:
"Decorated" helmets are historically correct, they really existed. There are a lot of paintings of the period (12th,13th and early 14th century) both on books as well as church walls/windows and knight tombs showing us several type of "decorated" helmets.
The question about their utilization in real combat is still a debate among historians. I have read several books, historical documents and sources about Teutonic Knights and their armour and the most accepted conclusions of the historians on the matter, nowadays, are the following:
Teutonic Knights during their early history, late 12th and 13th century, fought on two crusading war front, The Holy Land and Northern Europe/Baltic region. In the Holy Land they most probably never used decorated helmets neither in battle or parade while they used them even in battle in Europe, in particular during the 13th century.
The reason they started using "decorated/horned" helmets in battle in the Baltic regions is that they faced tribes of pagan/barbarian types of enemies like the Prussians and Sarmogitans. The "decorated/horned" helmets were used as intimidations against these warrior tribes who through their pagan beleifs were seeing Teutonic Knights like incarnation of the Devil (at the very first at least ).
After that period "decorated" helmets were not used anymore in battle and used only on parade/ceremonies.
Anyway, there's no helmet problem about our Teutonic Knights box. There are going to be 10 different helmet types in the box, in two sections. You'll have 20 hemlets in total for 12 knights to assemble. You'll have 12 "decorated" types and 8 "undecorated" ones. If you want to assemble all the "undecorated" ones, you can use the 8 straight out of the box and cut off the "horns" of other four. Some of the "decorated" types were sculpted with easy cut off option in mind.
I want to thank you all for your interest in our miniatures. We are all passioned wargamers here and we are very excited by our adventure. We can't wait to field our Teutonic Knights on the field and making some glorious charge with them.
Our project is not limited to this release only, of course. We'll make a complete range as a starting point and there are going to be 4 more plastic releases after the Teutonics at least. We aim at creating a "gaming system" too for the Medieval period, in the future and we are working on it right now.
I'll follow this post and if have any question don't hesitate to ask.
I could not be able to answer to everything, at the moment, but i'll do my best.
Regards,
Fabio
