What's Frankish for "woohoo!"?

Crumbs Martin. Those are STUNNING!

I need to work harder to earn more money to buy them all 

I've just ordered my Romans for C&K, so Carolingians will be my first purchase in the new year.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Now I've seen photos of the skirmisher command that I had ordered unseen for WWW, I think they could mix in with the close order infantry too - maybe I need some more...

Thank you for the  great response.
Carolingian sare the only thing on th ewrokench at the meomnet.

Except a very old 120th scale German 8 wheeled 232 being readied for  table use. Conquest models?
A nicely made 1960s US 120th scale white metal wargames item.   It has matchbox style wheels on little steel axles so that the car can be pushed along.  I need a second one but this will have to do.

Another stable of cracking characterful and well animated sculpts from PP. I can see these used as proxy Dunlendings, Westfolders or even Rohirrim at a pinch. I've seen Gondorians represented by Byzantines over the years...

Yes the new range looks very good.

I have worked out my force for C&K, I need 34 packs, some not built yet , like  unarmoured mounted and casualties but not in any rush.

Stewart

[Colonel Kilgore]

I've worked out a force for Longships, and reckon I only need 3 or 4 more packs to cover C&K too.

Simon

[Stewart 46A]

My C&K force should work for Longships,
This is on the list for a play day next year

Having picked up my order at the weekend, which included all of the Carolingian infantry sculpts produced so far, I should say that they look even better in the flesh than in the photos.

I find the pointy sticks always look quite thick in their undercoated form, but rather less so in reality, and will be - judging by the Vikings - even less once painted (in due course).

It's nice to see that all the latest packs are available for sale on the PP website now - looking forward to seeing the pictures!
