Title: armed monks
Post by: anevilgiraffe on 28 January 2025, 02:26:00 PM: I'm looking for 28mm armed monks for an inclining Silver Bayonet warband... open to all suggestions that either have melee weapons or muskets.

Foundry has some nice active monks, including one with a club that I've used for Silver Bayonet, and one wielding a good head-bonking cross that will likely get used at some point.

If you could shift to armed nuns, 1st Corps' Hussite women with polearms are perfect as is. I used those for my SB cultists. Just posted pictures of them last week.

Yes, they have a variety of weapons (musket with bayonet, musketoon, pistol, blunderbuss...)

Been using them in Peninsular skirmishes

...and if they are unlucky you can always replace them with those of 1st Corps. ;)

Oh my! Those would be great to use as 'Egyptian Conscript' quality troops for any European Silver Bayonet squad.

I'm already planning on using the Egyptian Conscript stats for spear-armed Opolcheniye and the European Conscripts from the Italy book for Opolcheniye 1st Class with muskets.

Post by: Aethelflaeda was framed on 29 January 2025, 05:26:15 PM: I stand corrected, what I thought were Artizan monks are the Angry monks from Gripping Beast for Saga.
