Wargames Atlantic - Foot Knights (1150-1320)

AD MORTEM INIMICUS!

"Death to the Enemy!" Sons of noble birth, the knights of 12th and 13th century Europe were the kings of the battlefield. Heavily armed and armoured, few could stand in their way. Vassal to a lord, each was paid for their service through land and other riches handed down to them by their liege via the feudal system. Each knight practised constantly to become a master of arms and horses while holding elite ranks in medieval society. Eventually, the adoption of coloured banners, shields, and surcoats led to the rise of heraldry. The ideals of chivalry (though rarely met) were the morality of the day as embodied by this warrior elite.

This hard plastic box set allows you to build up to 24-foot knights with a wide variety of weapons, including an axe, falchion, spear, mace, and, of course, the ubiquitous and iconic arming sword. Various heads and shields allow for even more customisation, and parts can be combined with the other sets in the range.

This is the first in a new range - The Age of Chivalry - that will soon include Sergeants, Levy, and cavalry sets.
