I took on a small commission this summer (36 mounted 17th-century Polish cavalry) and have finished the first half of it. These 15mm figures are a set of Pancerni Cavalry with spears for the game Fire & Sword.
Overall, nice models. A bit thinner sculpting than other brands but I think they would fit in with most manufacturers. A fair bit of detail that I'm not sure I really did justice.
Mark asked me to paint these 18 figures as two distinct units: one in uniform colours (red spears) and one in a mix of colours suggesting a force cobbled together from various places. The units have lovely self-adhesive flags but I have left these off so Mark and his son could choose which they wanted with each unit.
I think I learned a lot about these figures painting the first batch and I look forward to the Cossacks I have to do next. The manufacturer appears to be going the route of Battefront and others with fully contained units in each blister (or box, in this case).
Up next: I have two games arranged for the next few days and I have some 28mm Arthurians underway. Then back to more 15mm Polish cavalry.
Your 15's look like other painters' 25mm or 28mm. Very nicely done indeed.
ReplyDeleteI have the 28mm Old Glory Polish/Lithuanian cavalry for an army I have. I use Vlad the Impaler published by the once great Warhammer Historical people.
Bravo on your painting.
Best,

Thanks kindly Mal. I think these turned out okay. With a bit more sense of the figures, the next batch will be better.
