Reliquary Keeper

I don't think any of our elves would have been accepted by gw for publication. they don't fit in their style guide even if they have certain reminiscences. And in the rest of the ranges. GW looks at the German renaissance, we look at the Spanish and Burgundian. The Warriors of the Ashes conceptually can serve a similar purpose to Chaos, but they do not pretend to be Chaos. And the Wood Elves fit very well in their concept, but element for element they do not resemble any range that I know of. We are building for a rulebook you don't know yet, for a background you know very little about. For example our vampires are elves living among humans and that's why the elven influence in their armor is so strong. One thing I am looking for is that all our races have plastic influence with the other races they live with, and that will lead us to homogenize many elements. Copying would be the easy and profitable thing to do. And we wouldn't even have to do documentation, which is a lot of hours too. But don't expect to see copies. There may be some homage like this month's Joan of Arc. But they will always be about things with which we consider that we do no harm to anyone and about which no one has commercialization rights. Joan, Mordred or Roche are miniatures that as a fan I feel like doing and that nobody else has. But as a commercial value it is something completely residual.

Hello Tonny You are assuming things we don't say. I make one thing clear. The GW range is GW's range. If anyone expects to see copies here. You are in the wrong place. There are other Patreons where they have no qualms. Here we try not to. Here we are looking to create an alternative to your range. Not copy your range. The difference is remarkable and important at all levels. We admire the Perry's very much. They were the best sculptors of their time for sure. And besides having mutual friends with them, we share a love of history with them. In the survey it says that we are going to make an army based on Equitania. that is what will be in the game list. But I can approach this list from the aesthetics that I consider appropriate. I could do it from Excalibur, my favorite movie, from the Prince Valiant comic book, from a more historical perspective with late Roman or from a more historicist perspective. And the same for ASOIYF. Don't expect us to copy a lanister soldier from the series. We can reference things, but don't expect something literal. And this applies to all armies. Whoever expects a GW version, as GW would do today, is wrong. We are going to create our approach. And that approach can have a lot in common because we start from the same sources, and from the same references. But it will also have many differences. Taken to the miniatures, the Bretonian knights from 5th, are essentially the same knight, the only thing that changes is the crest and the heraldry. I respect those who like it, but I feel like doing something different, dirtier and not so naive. Even strictly speaking of Warhammer, the background of the warhammer role playing game, for me is much more interesting and richer than how it has been simplified in the battle game. So again, I'm not saying that warhammer is bad, nor that perry's work is bad. I'm simply telling you that we are going our way, not theirs. With their similarities and their differences. And unfortunately there are things that for the moment we have to assume, like identifying the use of the bard with heavy cavalry, which impoverishes a lot the variety in the miniatures. And for the moment we assume it. But the fact that they have done it does not mean that it is the best or an immovable truth.

Can you explain me the thing with the helmet crests? Do you have a historical image of a bascinet with one? This is something I don't have any experience with and it interests me.
