Hello!
The first four crossbowmen from the thirteenth century today!
The models come from the line The Baron's War from Footsore Miniatures & Games.They fit perfectly on the marksman figures of any western kingdom. They will be interchangeable as crossbowmen to the Kingdom of Poland - actually one of the Duchies from that period in my collection - or as the Teutonic Knights.
As for the knights in white coats with black crosses, I will say that the next four are already painted in Teutonic colors. Mixed together they will also look good.
I'm probably old-fashioned but I love hand-sculpted miniatures (I think it's Paul Hicks)

Thank you so much Iain!

Świetnie wyszli. Czekam na wersję krzyżacką ;)
ReplyDeleteDziękuję. Powoli się malują :-)
DeleteDobrze, że papież nie zabronił malowania kuszników. Delicje.
ReplyDeleteA nawet dał dyspensę jeśli będą grali przeciwko niewiernym!! :)
DeleteO I love these sculpts and your painting on them too mate! Hand-sculpted minis always get my vote too!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteExcellent crossbowmen!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it sir!
DeleteFour nice minis, with clothing and armour that makes each one different from the others. The colour choice of the clothes is neutral enough for them to be enlisted into many armies. But did you use white and red to allude to the colours of the Kingdom of Poland?
ReplyDeleteRed and white color I think would be good for a unit of royal crossbows or some greater prince.
DeleteHere I bet on a mix of colors to match different projects :)
Fantastic, inspiring job again, I love your medievals, they all are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for a kind words mate!
DeleteLovely figures as already noted and of course, excellently painted as usual, Michal!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much sir!
DeleteBeautifully painted figures Michal….whilst they are lovely sculpts do find some of the footsore miniatures a bit skinny ?
ReplyDeleteYes, they're a little more skinny as Fireforge Games and others :-)
DeleteThey look superb Michal
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for a kind words sir!
DeleteBest regards
Świetne malowanie! :)
ReplyDeleteTylko niech ktoś powie tym z lewej i prawej, że kilofami to się inaczej kopie w ziemi. ;)
To średniowiecze, wszystko było inaczej :-)))
DeleteThe level of paint is at the height of always, impressive. Regarding the miniatures, they are magnificent, every time I enter your blog, I tremble, thinking that I will have to add this time to the shopping cart, for future projects.
ReplyDeleteI love the position of the crossbowmen, getting out of the usual shots. It reminds me of the old Marauder dwarf crossbowmen and their blister pack of reloading crossbowmen.
Congratulations on the choice of miniatures and another great job.
Yes, they have something from oldschool minis!
DeleteThank you very much for a kind words.
Best regards
Beautiful, just beautiful, each an individual in its own right.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much sir!
DeleteGlad you like it!
Paul Hicks does great work, I have his AWI miniatures and I love them. Course, you do a much better job of painting than I do. Really good looking crossbow men! I've window shopped the Footsore website many times. 😀
ReplyDeleteThank You very much sir!
Deletewarm regards
Bardzo ciekawe wzory Michale. Chyba są trochę smuklejsi od innych średniowiecznych rycerzy od innych producentów?
ReplyDeletePozdr

Dziękuję. Tak, Footsore Miniatures ma nieco smuklejsze wzory od innych producentów. Takie prawdziwe 28mm :)
DeleteNice work Michal!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for a kind words!
