Reconquista Revisited !  

11th-12th  Century Hornblower  mounted with horse   (Reconquer Design)


28mm scale white metal


(Please note, going forward, individual figures are better bought from our website , where you'll also find latest additions to the range : www.alternativeminiatures.com)



So finally!! , we are launching our first cavalry, looking to bring the detail and artistry of this great 3D printable range into metal rather than resin and this guy has come out really well - one of our favourite figures .

As well as Reconquista battles, use the same figures for a  wide range of campaigns - definitely Crusades, possibly Normans, etc etc and for various rulesets -  SAGA, Swordpoint, Barons War, Outremer , etc etc - and this one will make a great proxy for LOTR and Oathmark !

This listing is for a 1 x Hornblower rider  with one random horse selection from our core Five Spanish horses as shown in the group product photo . (although we'll try to send one of the horses seen in the tabletop photos as we think he looks good on them,  especially once shield added)

We add a separate little sword-in-scabbard with the model. - Simply glue the scabbard in the position you prefer , to add more realism and a unique pose - we found this so much more lifelike than trying to cast them flat on the bodies 

Then to help further with the personalisation and multi-purpose, there's a choice of 5 shields options included in the unit price :


When ordering please add a note stating your preference for one of the following options  (see photos for reference):

a) 1 x Kite shield - plain                ( measure 23mm x 10mm so fit many transfers/decals to suit either force )


b) 1 x Kite Shield - patterned        (either of two  types of pattern as per photos - more suited to "Christian" forces)


c) 1 x Almond Shield - Plain          (measure 19 x 10 mm - more for "Christian" forces ) 


d) 1 x Round shield - plain            (they are just over 13mm diam. so fit many transfers/decals to suit either force )


e) 1 x Round Shield - Patterned    (one of 3 types of pattern as per photos , more suited "non-Christian" forces)




(please note , any latest additions to the range or temporary offers , will be on our new website going forward : www.alternativeminiatures.com)


Notes :

We’re proud to be working on a licence basis with the amazing sculpts of Reconquer Designs to turn some of their great 3D Print designs into good old metal .  We've toyed with various resins over the months, but despite some advantages  we personally found most will break, they are are hard to make conversions and it just doesn't feel the same !  We offer same if not better costs than 3D print but metal will last longer and it's recyclable  = Eco bonus !!;-))

So we took on the production challenge just for the fun of it !


It's been a long time coming, delayed for all sorts of reasons but we've finally committed and now started by making the basic core  figures available with more of the figures to follow from their range , which we can promise,  will only get better in quality...

We’re pretty pleased with these first castings,  BUT PLEASE see for yourself as we’ve tried to capture all the great detail in the photos . We will add soonest, some painted versions that we hope will also help .

We’ve tried to go for a size that fits with the widest range of other historical ranges so you can add to your armies, as well as collecting as a campaign in their own right .   The riders measure approx 27 mm toe to eye. The horses are approx 26mm floor to middle of back.

See the comparison photo with some other figures we had to hand - this range are a little bigger than Perry's and current Footsore Barons War figures  and a little smaller than Vitrix ,Gripping beast and Crusader but the Reconquer Designs  are a different style of sculpt so a lot finer and more realistic we think ... so we think they will fit fine with both ends of the "28mm" scale !) 


Also with the Horse comparison photo - we're about the size of the old GW/Citadel metal horses , similar to Front Rank but slimmer/lighter , similar to Vitrix and Warlord plastics , larger than Footsore, GW plastics, Gripping Beast ...

There is more than the  1 figure available - (we have to list them singly to qualify for lowest EBay fees ), so just message us to let us know if you'd like more than one group.

Other matching figures in the range coming soon as we can make them including amazing cavalry and special characters



 AND ALSO PLEASE SEE THE RECONQUER WEBSITE  - HE DESERVES ALL THE SUPPORT HE GETS !:-) www.myminifactory.com/users/Reconquer%20Designs?show=tribe





NB 1 !! : You are buying the unpainted bare metal items as shown in the actual product photo ... they do NOT come with bases

NB 2 !! : Due to the nature of metal casting, finally assembly may require superglue and probably a small file or drill for making parts fit neatly etc ..... (we say this as standard , but this figure comes as one casting ) 


NB 3 !! - 
IMPORTANT RE  POSTAGE & SHIPPING !! :

1. COMBINED POSTAGE :

The Ebay system SHOULD calculate a combined postage , but we find a lot of the time it doesn't ! (despite checking and re-checking we have the right settings) . PLEASE be assured that if you pay more than one postage, we will work out the correct and cheapest postage for the weight of your items and make the relevant refund and normally, we will message you to tell you what's happening and what you will be paying so you can change your mind if you want to .
We don't aim to make a profit on postage - we only cover , the service used, the basic packaging and of course EBay fees on shipping ;-)

If given the option, PLEASE request an invoice BEFORE paying as we will put as many models as we can in the same box for one charge .

We will give a specific cost for international postage - the amount shown on the listing is a guide but may be less if you are based in Europe .

Items will be carefully packaged and posted in the condition as per the photo and signed-for to ensure safe delivery but damage can sometimes occur in transit. We are not responsible for that but please contact us and we will try to resolve any issues before listing negative feedback.

2. UK BUYERS ! SADLY THE ROYAL MAIL in early October jumped the cost of a basic 2nd Class packet by over 25% ! This doesn't help buying single figures - we can only encourage you to wait and buy a group of figures - or convince your mates to buy some together !!  We do what we can but this one's out of our hands :-(

AND  We will send basic 2nd class postage and show proof of postage and we've never had any issues via Royal Mail  but we are NOT responsible for any loss en route . If you;re not happy on that then please choose the signed-for option . thanks :-)
