Hello guys,

We're launching the first product of the year: the Imperial Guard of our Imperial Kindred. As you will see, we've decided to retain all the classic traits of the line, but we've incorporated some elements reminiscent of the generic sea guard. The idea is to maintain coherence with both references so they can be used in any of the armies.

In this case, we've opted for long padding to make them slightly lighter than the phalanx.

However, I have a doubt: should we keep the current size of the shields, or use smaller ones like those in the Macedonian phalanxes?

What do you think?

Smaller. But arent you copying the seaguard you already did? I do not see the point of this. Someone explain it to me please?

Chad Chapman

I like the bigger shield pictured.

Sircael

Escudos grandes, porfa

Tonny

The shield in the pic is perfect. Certainly not smaller. What is planned for Imperial Kindred?

Sebastian Schultze

What about an Option to choose between big or small shields for print. I prefer the small macedonian shields becaus such shields does not exist

Cristian Cooney

What is the significance of the designation “sea guard”.

Christian Rink

Bigger shield looks better. Fire Amphora hopefully comes in a way which allows pieces for scatter terrain or unit fillers? :)

Guy Grundell

Big shield, back slung short bow for the win 😉

IgRF

Entonces es una variante complementaria de la anterior Guardia del Mar no?

Harry

Large shields are the way to go I think. However a bit smaller than the ones shown? More like 11th century kite shield.

I like the big shields & it is consistent with shield wall depicted in certain army books. If you do later land force (not see/ship soldiers) then I would suggest long pikes in greek phalanx style, to reflect 3-row deep engagement :)

I'm curious to see what the small sheilds would look like - could you show us a sample perhaps? This way we could comment based on seeing it. I would like small and large shields as variety is always nice. Also, would you consider versions without bows of quivers attached so they could be used as generic dragon light infantry?

Ian Mahon

Big shield. Also, any chance of a dragon mage?

David

Would this unit have options to equip with swords?

JJ Lainez Fago

Big shield, but slightly smaller. Never rounded.

Sam Hudson

smooth helmets would be preferable but other than that, look great

Reid Zalewski

Keep the big shield, and the shape to be honest looks nice, the hard edges look slightly menacing which I think looks good on Sea-themes high elves who should be a bit more tempestuous.
