Khurasan releases Low Countries and Teutonic infantry (AD)
« on: March 22, 2019, 02:58:43 PM »
We have just expanded our 15mm range of Late 14th Century Medievals with three packs plus one booster set.  These are Low Countries spearmen, a booster pack for same, Teutonic Knight Dienstleute with spears and pavises, and the same with crossbows.

The Low Countries infantrymen are in eight poses, all protected to differing extents, half with leg armour as well.  They have separate shields enough for all eight -- half are depicted in the image without to show how they look.  The booster set is the same, but it adds eight of the nightmarish Plancon spiked clubs that dealt such death to the French knights at Courtrai in 1302.  The plancon can be added instead of the spear, and you can also stick the plancon on so that it's wielded two-handed.  I would recommend using a mix of German and French crossbowmen for the Low Countries, and a mix of Western and (mostly) German knights for the cavalry.

The Teutonic sets have the men in surcoats.  These were feared adversaries, the spearmen being very well protected, some even wearing visored bascinets.  (The spearmen are depicted in white surcoats but seem to have got a special dispensation from the Brethren to do so, as wearing white was forbidden in the ordenstaat as a symbol of paganism -- except for the Brethren of course!) These would have commonly worn grey and had the Tau cross as a symbol, which looked like a T instead of a complete cross.

Can anyone guess what town and guild the Low Countries troops are from?  :)

Looks great and very detailed! Although I am more interested in 28 mm. Any progress on your 28 mm range?

Coming along. A test buildup was made of a knight, and now dollies for the foot are being made.

The town is Ghent (medieval colours black and white). The guild is Brewers.

hmm

I have to disagree about the colours for the Flemish militia. Archival records and copies of medieval paintings give a wide variety of colours for Ghent but nothing in heraldic colours. The town issued cloth in certain colours for each expedition it sent out.

 You can paint them a different colour if you like. :)

We do what we can. I used this as a reference.

I have just noticed this thread - are there going to be organ guns and other artillery?

I’ve had a bombard made. It will get some crew and be out this summer probably. An organ gun is an interesting idea.
