I’m trying to track down a good cheap source of mounted knight figures. Looks like I missed out on the Italeri sets which is a shame. I’m not looking for period specific or historical accuracy as they will be used in my fantasy games too. Just something basic to get me started, and then I will fill in with more luxury figures in the future.
So far there is are a serviceable amount available in the toy knight Chinese knockoff sets on Amazon and eBay (the 28pc sets under multiple different brand names), but I’m not massively impressed with the lack of barding - the horses feel more like outrider mounts to me than heavy shock.
Otherwise it seems to be the more expensive plastics from Steve Weston, or bidding on eBay for Britains etc. which all adds up when trying to build a reasonable beginner force of cavalry.
Have I missed a holy grail manufacturer or website that offers what I am looking for?
If anyone has used figures they are interested in selling let me know.
