Alliance – 72059 – Mounted heavy eastern tribes (Set 2)

Description:

The Alliance 1/72 scale Mounted Heavy Eastern Tribes – Set 2 (kit AL72059) continues the striking and imaginative fantasy theme established in Set 1, offering another 12 mounted figures in 6 different poses. Drawing clear inspiration from Tolkien’s Easterlings—particularly their portrayal in Peter Jackson‘s The Lord of the Rings films—this set emphasizes heavily armored cavalry with a dark, exotic style reminiscent of Middle-earth’s eastern nations.

The sprues show six highly detailed rider poses equipped with a variety of melee weapons including axes, maces, swords, and shields, with a more aggressive, battle-ready posture compared to Set 1. Their helmets and armor are highly stylized with flared horns and ornate detailing, enhancing the fantasy aesthetic. The riders look fierce and dynamic, with poses suggesting mid-combat motion. Horses come in six armored poses as well, echoing those in Set 1 (Alliance – 72058 – Mounted heavy eastern tribes (Set 1)). The horse armor is rich with texture, showing lamellar or scale-like patterns and saddle equipment suitable for a fantasy or pseudo-ancient setting.

Like the first box (Alliance – 72058 – Mounted heavy eastern tribes (Set 1)), it’s a strong, atmospheric set with excellent modeling value. This box complements the Eastern Tribes releases (light cavalry and infantry) that you can find in the related kits section.
