>>11551961Those look like decent knight molds.
>>11552187Many years ago a local hobby store had bags of them, originally all silver with the red and blue paint to differentiate two armies, then unpainted silver and black with most of the same poses but missing the flags and trumpeters.
>>11552531Currently on the market is another set of black and silver knights with great poses and mounted ones, with the added detail of four different poses for the horses. They can be bought on their own or with various levels of accessories including a decent castle with modular wall and tower pieces.
>>11552534 These guy have the same poses.
>>11552544They're different poses, I have both and the small guys are an OC set of their own, seem to be heavily inspired by older sets. They share at least one very similar pose with the bigger guys, the standing archer with bow in one hand and arrow in the other.
Is there anywhere to get terrain for plastic guys? I found the pictured on amazon but it's too big and expensive for what it is. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7P55VC8/?coliid=I25LUX8KP2VZD2&colid=36QU1HPZAQZUF&th=1
>>11554994Depends on what you're looking for but that's not terrible price-wise, considering army men accessories like that are niche and have limited demand, also tend to come from recognized brands like that one being from Timmee which adds to the cost. There's sets of pirates and skeletons that include pic related and a bunch of other stuff, also the knights here >>11552534 often have them.
>>11555207More stuff from the set I got a year ago, haven't found that exact one but this is similar, costs the same as that pile of rocks and has a castle, pirates, skeletons, knights, the skull rock piece and lots of other stuff.https://www.amazon.com/Enajucy-Medieval-Catapult-Crossbow-Treasure/dp/B0CDWGH53Y
Really miss sets like these
>>11557576One of my favorite all-time sets was very similar, same packaging but had three armies (third was yellow-tan) and included a couple cardboard base buildings among the accessories. Was thrilled to find one in a newly produced set from a Chinese company on Ali, in a US Civil War set and the included cannon was also anachronistic but a great nostalgia hit.

>>11560205>"Begging your pardon Captain, but I'm dying to know, we're all dying to know what this mission is all about.""Have to get used to that feeling in this outfit, we do a lot of things the higher-ups deem good and necessary, don't get to question it.">"I understand that Captain, but..."
>>11560210"George, I've been here in this exact predicament too many time to recall, with too many fresh faces from boot that didn't survive the first skirmish. War is the great equalizer, the ultimate natural selection.">"Yes Captain."
>>11560214>"I'm not afraid of the fight, lost a brother and two cousins to the wars with those vile Tans and Greys, I want my righteous revenge.""I admire your spirit George, it'll serve you well when the bullets are buzzing all around. Takes me back to my earliest missions."
>>11560215"The moment we hit the beaches of Tansylvania, seven of my platoon were mowed down in the blink of an eye, WHAM!"After I puked my guts out I wiped it off, grit my teeth and charged those bastard sandmen. Skewered a baker's dozen on my bayonet before the adrenaline wore off and the beach was secured.">"...Sir? What are you saying? We started the war with the Tans? But I thought.. we've always been told..."
>>11560219"Something you greenest Greens will come to learn, to accept and even appreciate is the higher-ups do as they please. They can see higher and wider than us grunts pounding the ground, they know what's best for our nation.">"Yes I know Captain but-""If they decree that the Tans are a menace and war must be waged on their evil asses, then so be it."
>>11560220"Word of advice, now that you're all in with the war effort and not some lovely naive civvie grandstanding from the safe zones: always acknowledge what you're told, don't believe a word of it, keep that to yourself and you'll last longer.">"Y-yes, Captain."
>>11560222"Looks like the chair force is ramping up, guess we're getting close to kickoff.">"Should I go get the men ready, Captain?"
>>11560223"In a minute George. Take a moment to savour it, really savour it. The last calm before the storm of battle. After this is all over, you'll get it. You'll know for next time."
>>11560225>"Yes. Captain."
