Review Perrys Foot Knights
Foot Knights 1450-1500 Set
The Perry twins hardly need an introduction from me. Since they left GW they have built up a successful historical model range including many plastic sets.
Their set of 38 late medieval plate-armoured dismounted knights retails at £20, making them superb value for money. These are multipose figures that can be a little tricky to put together but on the other hand there is so much variation on offer that no two need be the same.
Ten Man Unit With Swords
The models are a true 28mm and with a slim rather than heroic build and are nicely detailed - detail that is easily brought out with a simple black wash.
Twenty Man Unit With Two-Handed Weapons.
Bulked together the models look great, even with a very simple two-colour ad a wash paint job.
King And Standard Bearer
As well as six identical sprues, each with six figures, you get a leader sprue consisting of a King/Baron (change head as required) and Standard Bearer. Incidentally, the box includes a number of coloured flags to cut out - mainly English and French.
All I have added are some bases.
A great box of figures and superb value for money at £20.
Highly Recommended.
I agree. It's a great set.

The quality and number of the figures for the money is astonishing.
DeleteSurprisingly I find I haven't got this set. Something to remedy!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Legatus, you won't be disappointed.
