I know that these are New Hope. Does anyone have any more information on them? Are they a set? who are they? etc
Thanks!

Hello Zachary

can I import your picture in my New Hope Design XLS list ?

Best

 

[zblang]

Absolutely.

Whoever painted them did a very good job. The style and finish suggest John Firth to me.

To answer your other question, Zach, they're not a set, per se. I don't think any of the Men at Arms series kits are sold in anything but single-kit packages. But given that the series is based on individual volumes from the Osprey series, a collector can assemble his own set by topic. I have some of the Prussian army figures based on the 3 books on Frederick the Great's army.

Prost!

Zach,

Any chance of an image of the mounted knight by himself? Beautifully painted.

The only set I have seen from New Hope Designs is a Desert Storm set from the 1990s.

And this one was edited as separatde pieces, again, but with an obvious diorama in mind
Before their association with Osprey

I'll take pictures of each figure alone when I get home.

I got these from ebay. I wish I knew who did paint them, bc I really like the job they did

And this is the correct coat of arms for Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy in 1430
