Quick Answer
To kitbash unique medieval fantasy miniatures, combine the Medieval & Fantasy Heads, Cloaks & Shields sprue with a Victrix Medieval Knights set, then follow a clean assembly order to avoid common fit issues.
Why This Sprue Works for Conversions
The sprue includes 62 heads, 18 shields, and 12 cloaks, giving you plenty of parts to customize multiple miniatures. The heads draw from historical influences, so you can create everything from Teutonic Knights to fantasy knights without sculpting.
A key trade-off: because the parts are designed for conversion, some heads may not sit perfectly on every body without trimming. Expect to do minor filing or gap-filling, especially when mixing with non-Victrix kits.
Step-by-Step Kitbashing Process
- Dry-fit heads and bodies: Before gluing, test how each head sits on the body. Trim the neck peg or socket with a hobby knife if it doesn't align naturally. Check that the head looks forward, not down, to avoid a slumped posture.
- Attach cloaks before arms: Glue the cloak to the shoulders and back first, then add arms. This prevents the cloak from interfering with arm placement. Let the cloak dry fully before posing arms to avoid shifting.
- Position shields last: Mount shields after the arms are set. This lets you adjust the arm angle so the shield covers the intended area without gaps. Dry-fit the shield with the arm to ensure it doesn't obscure a head or cloak detail you want visible.
