Title: Khurasan releases Gustavian Swedes (AD)
Post by: Khurasan Miniatures on 13 May 2022, 06:19:24 AM

Khurasan Miniatures is very pleased to release the Swedish Thirty Years War army in 15mm:

They include pikes, muskets, brigaded shot, medium and heavy cavalry, and artillery. The foot are wearing longer coats than Germans and “Dutch pots” (helmets), and the pikemen have breast and back without shoulder armour. The cavalry have mostly kapalin helmets rather than the zischagge worn by Germans. Daniel Staberg’s research was of invaluable assistance in the creation of this range.

I'm no expert, but these look very accurate to me. I just wish they were 28mm. Daniel Staberg is quite an authority.

That’s a lovely looking range of figures.

what percentage of these figures would you use to comprise the Swedes at Lutzen or Brietenfield?  I know most of the brigades were German or Scottish

I'm probably wrong about this, but my general impression is that your sculpts have been getting better and better.

I second the statement that I wish these were in 28mm.
