Conquest Games - Medieval Knights

Box Art

This boxed set form Conquest Games is focused on the  at the period between 1100AD and 1200AD, just as colourful heraldry was beginning to be introduced and when armoured knights were beginning to assert their authority on the battlefield.

These are perfect for the European wars of the middle of the 12th to 13th Centuries, or the 1st and 2nd Crusades.

There are 16 x models in each box, which are provided on 1 x Command Frame, 3 x Figure Frames and 2 x Horse Frames. There is also a single Base Frame.

Mathematically that works out as 16 x Knights but 18 x Horses, which seems odd but should be viewed as a bonus!

Conquest Games - Medieval Archers

Box Art

This boxed set contains 28 multi-part, hard plastic Medieval Archers, you get 4 x Figure Frames plus 1 x Command Frames which are the same frames form their infantry box.

As an additional bonus you also get 2 x Weapons Frames, each of which contain another figure, this Weapon Frame is the same as the lower half of the main Figure Frame.

Despite being labelled as Medieval', these figures would work well as 'Dark Ages' archers as well, so have been categorised here as such.

Each figure frame contains 6 x torsos, 12 x heads, 6 x Long Bow Arms, 4 x Short Bow arms and 9 x 'other' arms in a variety of poses to represent figures loosing an arrow, pointing or placing an arrow onto the string.

Figure Frame - Front

Accessory wise, each frame also has 6 x Quivers and 3 x knives / daggers.

Figure Frame - Back

The Weapons Frame contains 6 x Long Bow Arms, 4 x Short Bow arms and the 9 x 'other' arms noted above plus 2 x Quivers and the 3 x Knives.

Overall a very useful set which adds variety to the Gripping Beast Dark Age Archers set, reviewed elsewhere on this site.

Norman Knights Frame

Conquest Games - 28mm Norman Infantry

Box Art

Following on from Conquest Games' Norma Knights boxed set, this is a welcome addition to their range.The set contains 8 infantry frames (see below left) each of which have enough parts to assemble five figures, in a selection of mail, quilted Gambeson or simple cloth attire, there are also a wide selection of weapons such as swords, spears and axes to equip your warriors as well as 7 shields, (5 x Kite plus 2 x Round).

There are also 2 command frames, (see above  right) each containing 2 figures, in suitably high status attire, to enable the building of leaders and standard bearers etc. there is also a bonus casualty marker on the frame, not included in the 44 figure box count, a nice touch....

Figure Frame

The design of the figures is such that the basic torso / legs of the figure found on each frame also have the tops or each arm moulded in place. this means that the weapons and shields are moulded with forearms attached, making it a simple (and a lot less fiddly) to attached these to the main body of the figure.

As an aside this makes it simpler to paint the figures ( paint the parts and then assemble, touching-up any glue marks after assembly - particularly good for painting behind the shields!).

Command Frame

Only area that Conquest have skimped in this set is that there are only 5 heads on each frame, it would have been good to have had more variety, though as this set is compatible with their mounted knights set - this is an alternative source for more heads.

Conquest Games

Conquest Games are relatively new to the plastics arena, they are based in Bexley Heath, Kent, UK and specialise in Dark Ages figures - Normans in particular!

As well as plastics, they also produce metal figures designed by independent designers and sculptors to  a consistently high standard.
