It's taken us some time to start getting the TB-Line ranges back into production, mainly due to all of the production moulds needing to be replaced. We're making progress now and the first to appear is the Middle Age Europe range!
This lot consists of just 3 codes but they're very nice sculpts and quite useful items as well, covering knights on foot, armed peasants and peasant archers. The figures match up very well to our own, with only 0.5mm difference in the height and a slightly slimmer style to the sculpts. We've not made any changes to the sculpts but they have been cleaned up for the new moulds and are much crisper castings.

Next up in the TB Line ranges will be the Middle Ages Eastern Europe set, which we should have ready in the next fortnight hopefully.
Wow! Looks like Simon de Montfort and Prince Edward will be having a go at each other after all. Are there more to come, such as the mounted knights?

There's all of the other ranges to come, it's just taking some time to make new moulds for everything. The next set will be the Eastern Europe range which has some knights in it, but I think you might be looking for the Teutonic range which is number 4 on the list to be done.
Those are nice. I don't remember these ones so it's good to see some new figs.
Excellent
These look great, fantastic to see the TB line coming out after following the thread for so long.
As the knights coming out first I guess we will be waiting a little longer for the Islam.
That's fine, there is plenty on the painting bench until they are released anyway.
Can't wait to see what the Teutonic range will be like.
Some very nice figures there and great to see the TB range coming online :)
Splendid!
Is medieval heavy infantry supposed to be released with the Teutonic Order?

My guess is that Phil is busily drilling away to change their spears over (does this mean BLOOD, Sweat and TEARS) :D.

There's heavy infantry in both the Teutonic and Eastern Europe sets, so they'll be getting released soon.

We've not decided on the spears just yet, they don't look as bad in the flesh so we might not need to do any swaps yet.
The elephants will be some time away, probably 2019 now, once we reach the TB Ancients ranges. They'll need a lot of work though as we've only got a pretty worn-out master mould for them, multi-part as well, so we'll be getting them cleaned up properly and probably made into single or two-piece castings instead.

Sometimes it's better to go slightly over scale with spears, muskets, bayonets etc simply for less bendiness and snapping in play.

I have to second that, I've got some TB heavy infantry and their spears are more than okay. Even if you bend the spear 180 degrees you are able to get it back without any fracturing.
In case of poles and spears in this scale, I give my support for thickness, as you really cant repair broken items with very little area to apply glue on. (:
Agreed.
Thanks for the feedback, I've had a look at the spears on the next two sets (Eastern Europe and Islamics) and we'll leave the spears as they are.
These look great
Take care
Andy
I'm assuming the figures will have an expanded waistline as it is Middle Age Europe.
Is this Sir's coat?
I'm sorry about the rips, cook is in a bit of a temper.
;D ;D ;D ;D
