I plan on doing so tonight; I came across his thread on AA- the site's blocked but I'm interested enough to pursue at home.  Need that black griffin!

Excellent find Sir Edward! They look great and seem pretty cost effective to consider using even in battle if you go with one of their production designs!  :)

I wished they did the griffons properly though! (They don't look like they have ears.)  :-\

Their website is scripted up to be animated like crazy. Not surprising it doesn't work well on phones. Give it a try from home later. :)

Just checked it out. The prices aren't as bad as I expected, considering that the price includes hand painting in your choice of colors, too. I think I'll be picking one up in a month or so ... whenever I feel like starting another project without finishing 5 others. Maybe April. :D

Also, that gauntlet and hammer is epic neat.

As you can see from my knight of the week topic...each helmet has it's own crest based on the crest of that particular knight. Needless to say, my house if FULL of crested helmets.

They're certainly cool but I'm hesitant to put a target on my head after the concussion I got from the daneaxe last Sunday.  ;)

Sounds like you need a crest that looks like concentric red and white circles. :)

I was a little slow and I think I ordered it in May, and received it a few weeks ago, but here's my thread with it:

Ny own helmet has a red hawk's head as the crest. That's the synbol of the "McNicol" familt to which I have direct desent and am a member of the US section.

Sir John

By the way, the McNicols, oruginally were of Norwegian Noblity who came to settle Northern Scotland.
