Hi folks

The thirty years war is my favourite historical period, and a few weeks ago decided my army needed an upgrade. You might ask why, but I have been painting but not doing all the details, just enough to play with them - which is obviously totally wrong. So I decided that they should be as detailed as possible.

These are what I did in the last weeks - Johan Tserclaes Graf Tilly and Gottfried Heinrich zu Pappenheim - two battalia commanders. I had started with Tilly because I like the model a lot. The tercio was next, a unit already 'done' but added details and a few pikemen tp have a large unit, 2 sergeants for the musketeers and new flags.Then 2 cuirassier units and after them Pappenheim. He is Warlord's Earl of Essex model, and the ensign/bodyguard is a simple conversion from 3 models.

Models are Warlord Games and flags by Flags of War.

Wow, very nice - this is one of my favourite historical periods, and these do it more than justice

Very nice. Warlord Games' Tilly and the Earl of Essex are two of my favourite figures.

Thanks for the feedback

Oddly enough, the most time I use on the Thirty Years War is researching flags. Information is quite scarce. It's quite an obsession and I guess I'm giving FlagsofWar a headache each time he hears from me!

Nice work - they look great....I really admire how you did a basic paint job to get them on a table THEN worked over them again to add the detail...and the flags look excellent

Cheers folks!

Another cuirassier unit - this time Pappenheim's loyal troopers. Used the dregs of black wash to make the armour look dull. Added only a little water to it. Their boots are a bit different than other units - I like some variety between units.

His battalia has now 3 cuirassier units, thinking what to add next.........
