With another company recently announcing the offering of this line within the next 45 days, I wonder if FL has this one in the works as well...??? Any more news on the new lines or just a hint if this one is in our near future...???

Which company will be offering The Battle of Agincourt?

Thanks, George

George,
it is The Collectors Showcase that announced an Agincourt line.
But I am rather sure that we will see a medieval subject here from FL as well, as one of the new lines this year.

I would guess so as it seems such a logical choice for FL - Hundred Years' War.

Thank you for the information, Konrad. So many medieval offerings! It's a great time to be collecting the medieval era.

LF section on site Workbench, Matt wrote the ad with this picture::smile2:

"It's been about six months since our last release for one of our most popular ranges, The Crusades. Fear not, however, as we have many new figures in the works to be releases later this summer. Just to whet your appetite for what is to come, we preview this new charging Crusader. We hope you agree, this one is a real stunner! This figure will be available along with several others in August/September 2012."

I do not know much about this period!
For me this knight correspond to the Hundred Years War that the Crusades?,
Just my opinion .... your opinion?^&confuse

If FL does Agincourt I think I would go crazy... They would be so sweet looking!!!

Guy, I would have to agree with you, as this knight is rather reminiscent of the Hundred Years War. Of course, there is a lot of crossover potential with the Crusades and the Hundred Years War as it is. I mean, those English archers that First Legion has already produced would fit well with a Battle of Agincourt range.

There is some potential for crossover from late Crusades to Early 100 years war, as the gap was only 46 years. While wealthier nobles and knights would want the latest armor, the poorer knights and men at arms would often use hand-me-down gear.

By Agincourt (1415) anything from the Crusades era would be 120+ years old and not only out of fashion but obsolete compared tothe then current state of military technology -- swords had undergone a major shift in design (narrower and more pointed) and armor, particularly for Mounted knights had gotten much heavier, thanks to the longbow and crossbow. Remember that only the French fought mounted at Agincourt (much to their regret) and they had learned the lesson from Crecy that the latest heavy plate was necessary to survive an English arrow storm. That is not to say that some really old helmets, swords and breast-plates might not have been used, particularly by the archers, but they would have been the exception, and very rare among the mounted knights.
