Thanks for the feedback, never a problem and always appreciated.

Left handed archers? I'm not saying that there never were left handed archers but I've never seen any pictures of any. Yes you can get away with left handed melee weapon fighters, but I draw the line at archers.

With it being Fantasy I thought it would be fine, and range-wise it gives a lot more scope for variation in the poses.  I quite liked the idea of some symmetrical Warband bases as well, with the right/left handers separate on each half of the base, it ticked some boxes in my OCD brain...   :D

Shields, ok these are fantasy figures but round shields?  Might work if they're lower class fighters. Also it looks like you've molded dragons onto the shield faces, something that'll need to be filed/cut off.

The shields have got dragon motifs on them, we wanted to add a bit of extra detail to the figures and Techno's done a great job on them.  It shouldn't be too difficult to file them off though.

Poses, all the poses look a little wooden in the photographs, I hope they're better in the 'flesh'. Also the horses look a little odd, like they're crouched down or something.

The poses are all quite similar to the other Warband ranges, so not sure on that one.  If we'd gone with all dynamic fighting poses then it would have prompted questions as to why the other ranges weren't more dynamic.  The horse pose looks great in the flesh, it's very similar to this one:

Any chance of having a comparison photo of the Dragonmen footknights alongside a Pendraken historical knight?

I'll see if I can get a shot taken of these new chaps next to one of our Medieval figures.

I really like these new Warband Releases!  I'm looking forward to getting some in the future.

Might have to get some of the Dark Elves just to paint them up like Drow :)

I think with a bit of work to the clothing, the chap on the left could make a suitable Drizzt...

Hello

Just a quick question. Are you planning any generic lance armed knights to go with the Dragonmen? To use as the vanilla Knights from the list. Also what are you planning for the Marcher horse and foot? You could use historical figures but there is the size difference.

Actually a picture of the new FAN-DME3 vs the ELM1 and ELM2 would be really handy in this regard.

Cheers

Lance Knights on horses?  Nothing planned at this point.  The army lists in the rules are a bit larger than the ranges will be, so for things like the marcher foot you'd use some of the regular men-at-arms, etc.  We'll add more items further down the line to expand each range, but that'll be a long-term plan I'd think.

One of the Dragonmen wizards looks suspiciously like one of the Dark Elf warlocks.

Can't say i'm a fan of dark elves dressed like Elizabethans, but the witches will do nicely for dark elf fanatics - and with a little filing of some of their chests, for wood elf ones too.
