Review: Crusader infantry
Valdemar Miniatures is a small company who have focus on the medieval period and produce a wide range of medieval sets in 1/72 scale, perfectly sculptured to match the traditional 1/72 scale plastic sets. Their mission is to produce personality figures and other special sets for the collector and the ambitious wargamer. They have an exclusive range which is known as Valdemar/Alex MASTERCLASS which are high quality 1/72 scale museum quality miniatures superbly sculptured and casted with perfection. They also produce traditional plastic miniatures and have just released our first set titled Medieval Army on March. The figures are designed to boost the ranks of sets made by larger manufacturers like Zvezda, Italeri, Emhar etc.
Contents
The review sample sent was a small set with 5 multi-part figures. The first is of a sergeant waving his fellow brothers/crusaders forward. He will be wearing complete chainmail armour and kettle helmet which were preferred by many crusaders. He is carrying his large shield on his back and a war axe in his right arm. The second is a soldier swinging his club and the third is a sergeant thrusting his spear or goodendag. The last two figures are a knight and a sergeant. The set comes with one separate shield and a wide selection of medieval weapons like a war hammer, flail, goodendag, sword, axe, and short sword.
The Good
There are no major mould lines or runnels and no pitting. There was very little flash and no mold slippage was to be found.
Valdemar Miniatures is also a Danish company, which fills me with pride – especially considering the fantastic quality of these miniatures.
The Bad
None.
The Ugly
None.
Scale: 20mm
Cost: €8
