Title: Polish Knights - Thirteen Years War - 28mm
Post by: MaaX on 22 November 2021, 11:40:32 AM

Hi all!

I recently finished small unit of Polish Knights/Men at Arms from the late medieval period.
They are all from Perry miniatures - mix of various late medieval boxes.

There will more at some point. I have a few(probably way to many) projects going on and I'm trying to give each of them a little time. :)

I painted two Czech mercenaries fighting on the Polish side during the Thirteen Years' War.

One carries a Bohemian flag, (though it's based on the modern coat of arms of the Czech Republic, not the medieval version) and wears a tabard in the colors of the Kingdom of Bohemia. The other has white and red checkered pattern on his helmet and scabbard.

Originally, the flag bearer was meant to be part of the first rank of a Burgundian pike block, but I changed my mind. Lately, I’ve been playing a lot of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which put me in the mood for painting something medieval. I ended up with Czechs since they fit well with my Polish forces for the Thirteen Years' War.

Flag is from https://pinatwar.blogspot.com/ blog.

Yup, I used few different silver/metal colors for the armor.

They look badass, will their be more Czechs to join the force?

Thanks!

I want to add a whole unit, but I'm not sure yet if it’s going to be 6 Men-at-Arms or 12 heavy infantry. I'm looking for color and emblem inspiration for more Czech knight heraldry or infantry livery.
