Perfect JP. I have to admit that my cheif jaguarian warrior has the colored headdress, and I only have one of the regular yellows for the leutenant. Great pix.

I had another idea. A slip over the torso suit of chain mail. It could be similar to the 375 armor, but in "relief" showing the mail. Just a thought. Now I need to hear jeff and Isaac say that this stuff is on the way :D

Since I'm in the process of deciding WHAT to produce next, I'm listening.
Here's a rough list of pieces based on what I've already been planning,
as well as suggestions here.

Longsword / something like this, with fuller -

(wlister - it's been planned for some time :D)

Battle-Axe
http://www.armor.com/2000/catalog/item006.html

War Hammer
http://www.armor.com/2000/catalog/item005.html

Pole Axe

Spiked Flail (BIG maybe on this one)
http://www.armor.com/2000/catalog/item003.html

Bill (another maybe)
http://www.armor.com/2000/catalog/item030.html

***The above pics are NOT necessarily the exact designs to be used.
They are for reference only.


And of course -
Helmet(s) - depends on the *30 day* POLL. :wink:

Before I forget -

The Greek/Roman stuff is still planned, but I'd like to
keep that stuff seperate from the "middle-ages".

A better lance with a pointy tip would be nice. some breastplate armor with should pads would be awesome also. Do you plan on making these with scuply?

All of these would be great additions. More axes and swords are always good, and the two you are showing are good variations. The warhammer and pole-axe would really fill a gap. I'd, of course, would love a spiked flail, but the flanged flail you showed earlier would be welcome if it was tecnically easier. The Bill: looks a bit halbardy, but there was a great deal of weapon appearance blur. More is better in any case.

And two helmets! :-)

I'll see what I can do with the "spiked" flail, as far as the mold is concerned. I think I can at least get a 5 spike
setup in a 2 part mold. Would be 6, but I'll need one side for the chain attachment.

Hey, they call it a Bill...not me. I agree, it looks more like a Halberd. Go figure. :roll:

Some great options. I would like to see a sword myself, though better polearms are desirable. good to hear that the Classical Era stuff is at least on the back burner, I promise to quit harrassing you about Corinthian Helmets. For a while at least. :D

I just thought of something else, what about new visors that fit with LEGO's helmet. (The one use to hold the Euro visor). That would be cool, and cheaper to buy since you don't have to buy the helm, just the visor.

It's an idea, but that (motorcycle)helmet isn't the best
example of a "medieval" helmet.

Besides, if you want various visors for that helmet,
look no further than the new rainbow knights sets. :lol:

I, on the other hand, will continue to design "real" helms.

My suggestions would be:

A Great Helm,
Better wands,
A mace on a chain thing,
A spiked club and;
Gargoyls or statues of some sort for castles
Everything you said. Especialy the mace and gargoyle. :wink: I'm sick of lion heads. :evil: .
