Fire Forge 28mm Templar Knights

     The long-awaited (OK, by me at least) Fire Forge minis of the Knights Templar have finally gotten into my hands. I must say that I am both pleased and disappointed. Pleased that they cover a period that I have long been interested in and are stunningly detailed models, disappointed because they are the same models as the Teutonic Knights package that was released a while back with the exception of a swap of the heads. Don't get me wrong, if you are looking for 28mm knights Templar you would have to work very hard to find better models, I am more than a little disappointed that the opportunity to add variety to the Fire Forge line was missed. With that said let us look at the models.

lots of weapon choices

the new heads are superb...

.....and all different

as usual attention to detail is everywhere

     Aside from my gripe about the missed opportunity to add new and different models to the line these are simply beautiful models, both the Knights and horses evoke a feeling of violent energy about to be unleashed. Detail abounds, even in places where it will not be seen when the model is assembled and there is plaenty of head and weapons choices.

     For anyone interested in the Crusades period this are Very Highly Recommended,  John
