Hi all, just wanted to share a unit of Teutonic Order Men at arms. Minis are 28mm Perry Miniatures.
I intend to use them for Thirteen Years War and possibly other conflicts.

Thanks!

These are great, good to see later period Teutonic Order figures, ones in barrel helms are much more commonly seen.
-
Very nice job on those 8)
-
Thanks guys! ;)
-
Excellent buddy
-
Thank you!
-
They look great! I didn't realize the Teutonic Knights and the Knights Hospitaller were still around in the 15th century! I thought they were disbanded about the time the Knights Templar were wiped out by King Phillip the IV. Thanks for inspiring me to research them.
-
Thank you and you're welcome :)

I'm back with an update. Teutonic Order sergeants - spearmen with shields. Perry's 28mm minis.

So, so good.
-
Thank you!
-
Looks great. The spears look very natural, did you just cut the pikes down and replace the heads?
-
Thank you! Yeah those are metal pikes, I cut them to match length of the plastic bills from other Perry's kits. The heads of the spears are the same I cut on the other end. :)

Finished another unit for this army. Knights and Met at arms of the Danish House of Tott. Denmark was allied with Teutonic Order during the Thirteen Years war so I figured this will be a good addition to my army.

Great stuff.
Sadly you don't hear much about the order beyond Tannenburg, despite them still being active. It's kind of funny, as the Northern Crusades were largely successful in Christianizing the region.
-
Thanks!
Yeah they started slowly falling apart after the Tannenberg. Thirteen years war might have been the last one, not sure tho.
-
Great thread. Looking good! 👍
-
Thank you! I'm glad you like 'em.
-
Look excellent, especially the Danes.
-
Perry's look nice under any flag ;) Nice work! :-*
-
Thank you guys! :-*
Perry's look nice under any flag
Sure do :) my favorite minis for this period.
-
Do you have Prussian, and Polish forces planed as well?
-
Do you have Prussian, and Polish forces planed as well?
I have one unit of Polish knights here - https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=134302.0 but I do plan to make some more in future.
Prussians yes, but not as separate force but as allies to Teutonic Order.
-
Great stuff 8)
-
Oh I like them alot!
-
Very cool. Looking forward to seeing more of your Holy order and their allies/enemies.
Oh I read before that you were not sure what other conflicts after the 13 year war that the Order was involved in. Well aside from raids and the like there was the, "War of the Priests" 1467–1479.
And the finally conflict being, "Polish–Teutonic War of 1519–1521".
After this conflict the grandmaster of the order became Lutheran. And was granted the title first Duke of the Duchy of Prussia.
-
Thanks guys! And thank you for the information commissarmoody.
In the future I will add some more of the Order or their allies.

Some pictures from my last game playing as Teutonic Order against Polish Crown.
We were playing "Gladiators Ready!" scenario from 2nd edition of Lion Rampant.
Game started with a duel between Teutonic and Polish champions.

Birds eye with shots of both armies.

I was the defender in this scenario and I tried to lure my opponent into coming to me and within range of my crossbowmen.

He was being very cautious so I took the initiative and move in with my Veteran Heavy Infantry and then Knights(Elite infantry in the rules).

My opponent took some losses and pulled back his Elite units. Then he attacked my Heavy Infantry in Spear Wall formation with his Veteran Heavy Infantry. We both took causalities but he had to pull back.
His last move was issuing a challenge between our leaders. Unfortunately luck was not on his side and Žatecký was slain by the Von Orle's sword.
