15th c. mercenary mounted horse archers #1

on

 

Hello!

A long time ago—probably 9-10 years ago now!—I bought a set of 15th-century light cavalry from Perry Miniatures, with WoTR in mind.
       Ultimately, nothing came of the Yorkist forces, but a few years ago I started a project—The Thirteen Years' War 1454–1466, between the Teutonic Order and the Kingdom of Poland.

Here, I used a few mounted crossbowmen for my Teutonic Knights, and I have some horse archers left over.
Unfortunately, neither the Polish nor the Teutonic Knights used this formation – and I'm repainting them to match the "mercenary" forces (I'm slowly doing the same with the pikemen).

And today the first two (of 4 or 5) second half of 15th c. mercenary mounted archers.
I added a Styriwar miniatures heads to Perry's bodies.

Hope you like it 😀
M.

      Yes, I tried a few other options, but that only confirmed that your method works.
      However, I see that my post has already appeared on a few other creators' pages as well.
      For now, I’m leaving it all as is.

    Fantastic work on your mercenaries Michal, as for the posts blogger seems to be very glitchy at the moment.

      Thanks!
      Yeah, and I’m out of ideas for what to change in the settings—or maybe I should just wait for them to fix it? It’s a shame to publish posts right now.
