Victrix goes medieval - shared by Vince Cholewa, 9 July 2023

Excerpts from Victrix update:

“Victrix is starting a new Medieval range, covering the period from the 12th to 13th century. We intend to cover the armies of the Crusades, both Western and Islamic, followed by Feudal Europe including Spain and the wars of the Reconquista.

“Moreover, this will link nicely with our intentions to include releases for the forces of Al-Andalus and the Northern Christian Kingdoms of Spain; a hugely interesting period of Muslim and Christian medieval history.”

…

“Feudal Europe will also be explored, we are hoping to perhaps explore the factions of the Angevin Empire, France and the Holy Roman Empire, who were in states of constant warfare throughout this period.

“We will also be releasing a Byzantine range for this period.”

    Potbelly Miniatures Reconquer recently posted a series of Spanish knights over time. The first one of the series, the figure on the left of the group is a wonderful, almost universal cavalryman from gothic-type “friend” of Rome to 10th century Polish

  I think one advantage of Victrix is the variability that plastic kits provide. But having painted (lots) of both Indo agree that Reconquer is the better figure.

  Another advantage of Reconquer by Potbelly Miniatures is that if you ask nicely, Potbelly can play with the scaling to overcome the worst of "Victrix Syndrome" in dynamically posed sculpts
