CRU110-116 Teutonic Knights at the Battle of Lake Peipus Pre-Order!! (1 Viewer)

[FirstLegion]

We are pleased to present the immediate follow up release to last month's launch of this new series, sets CRU110-116 Teutonic Foot Knights at Lake Peipus! The Battle of Lake Peipus took place in 1242 between the Livonian Branch of the Teutonic Knights and Republic of Novgorod. It was a part of the Northern Crusades of the Catholic Christian Military Orders against the "pagans" of the Eastern European Baltic states. Alternatively named "the battle on the ice" because a large part of it was fought on the surface of a frozen lake, the Battle of Lake Peipus was a significant Crusader defeat at the hands of Alexander Nevsky. Nevsky's strategy was to feign withdrawal to lure the overconfident Teutonic Knights onto the surface of the Lake. A melee ensued over the course of a few hours and the exhausted Crusaders succumbed to a final attack of the Wings of Nevsky's army. The ice of the lake began to crack under the strain in some sections and many of the heavily armored Crusaders and Teutonic Knights drowned as a result. Up to now our Crusades series has only covered the Siege of Acre, but this expansion of the range will be given the same detailed treatment with the combatants of both sides well represented allowing for wonderfully detailed dioramas of the famous Battle of Lake Peipus. We hope you enjoy this new direction of our Crusades figure range!

Also, a quick stock update. Sets CRU107-108 are on back order and will arrive at the same time as the new releases. We have enabled these sets for ordering again, but please note that they are essentially pre-orders shipping at the end of the month.

These look great! The standard bearers in particular! I don't mind some variations to the same basic figure for variety, which probably keeps the price down, but hope that any future knght with standards bearers are completely different sculpts.

CRU110 really jumps out at me and looks very nice. CRU112 closely resembles Aeroart 3324.

Agreed, I couldn't be more pleased. As a collector all 3 eras of mine are not covered Rome, WW2 and Teutonics. Can't ask for much more then that.
