Has anybody heard about any new crusaders ? (3 Viewers)

Hello, I was wondering if anybody has heard of any new crusader/sarcens are due to come out this year? I'am such a fan of the crusader line. I have about 200 hundred pieces in my collection. I'm in the process creating the battle of Acre during the third crusade.

200 pieces, wow! Can you give us a photo. Would love to see it.

Sounds very impressive! Are you planning on having any buildings or a castle? (scratch built or prebuilt?)

For new releases, we have to wait and see, most of K & C products are surprises. No hints on the crusaders yet. The last crusader batch was fairly recent so we might have a wait a while. Of course, you can mix in some of the Russian figures.

This sounds amazing! 200 figures will make a terrific display. I visited Acre back in the mid 80's and I will see if I can dig out the photo's I took and have them scanned and post them if you like to see what it looks like in modern day.

This is picture of a big crusader Diorama I found on the internet...

thanks for that pic. that is a huge set up! i would also love to see the pictures of acre. i have never been there. right now all my crusaders and saracens are in my glass display cabinet. i'm getting ready to build a table for the scene. i have started to purchase parts of the castle from jg miniatures. i only have 1 tower, 2 walls, and the gate. each piece is $ 115.00. and i have really been building my forces up. i'm hoping k&c will make more horses charging. because i have got 6 mk049 knights with king richard leading the charge, and i would like some different poses to add on to the charge. soon i'll post pictures of just the forces i have collected. thanks for the coments. i'm such a fan of the crusades!!!:

Do you know if there is a particular reason why the bricks of the JG gate are not the same size and colour as the walls and tower?

 

[my1968gto]

i don't know why? plus my gate only has windows on the left tower and none on the right tower. maybe it's a rare collectable piece.(lol).

 

[JPB]

This should be the gate...

 

[my1968gto]

yeah, my right side gate does not have the small windows.

Wow JPB, that is some Diorama...
I love the way the builder has those troops climbing up the hill. I had intended adding more K&C Crusader/Saracen figures to our collection on hold for the first half of 2008, but they are pretty irresistable aren't they?
Cheers

Outstanding - just checked my Crusaders K&C Lit and reviewed your troops - wonderful! Can't wait to see all 200 together !

How is the JG Castle with these guys ? Worth the money for a diorama with them??

 

[JPB]

I'm convinced that the JG Castle is the best except if you can build one your self.

Nice collection lenswerks

 

[my1968gto]

jpb is right!!! the jg castle is really nice. i tried to buy more wall sections from treefrog today but, they are out of stock. does anybody know where else you can buy jg castle walls?

 

[jazzeum]

Treefrog is expecting a shipment from JG later this week. I talked to Mandi at Treefrog and she will receive a couple of the sections and suggests that if you need more (like five and up), give them a call and they can order it for you.

 

[my1968gto]

thanks for the info. i may only need two or three pieces.

 

[my1968gto]

nice set up lenswerks! are the crusader series your favorite series? don't you think k&c should make a casualty set. like one or two soldiers being hit by arrows. or some soldiers crawling out of the battle wounded. i think it would make a battle scene look such more real.
