Led astray AGAIN by Lion Rampant Russians- Horse Archers finished 06 June 2016

[Pappa Midnight]

Having completed my Teutonic Knights I needed someone to take them on.....













The mounted Druzhina, militia and archers are from Gripping Beast and the mounted Mongols are from Fireforge.

I don't know how long these will take to finish but I will post regular updates.

On a side note I would just like to say how awesome Gripping Beast are to deal with. As part of the Druzhina units I bought the Alexander Nevsky set. Unlike other sets he comes in a pack of three minis rather than 4. I asked if I could get a single Druzhina to make an even number which they did with no problems. They also supplied the mix of horses I wanted and the shields I wanted. Real pleasure to deal with.

Just taking my seat. Look forward how you paint them up.

[Argonor]

This should be good. Pass the pork scratchings and the beer! 

[syrinx0]

Looks like a nice balanced force.
I would have expected you to bring mead Argonor...

[Duke Donald]

Nice figs. I like the mongols in particular; their poses are excellent. if they turn out even half as good as their Teutonic opponents, they'll look amazing once painted

I'm looking forward to watching the progression of this retinue.

[Colonel Tubby]

Having just looked through your excellent Teutonic Knights thread I am really looking forward to seeing your progress on their opponents.

[Pappa Midnight]

Just started painting my Druzhina cavalry and have decided that this will probably be slow going........
First up is my "Prince" and his standard bearer with a home-made flag.











Hope you like them.

Wow, lovely!

That force will look amazing when finished!

[Captain Blood]

Gorgeous

Amazing papa!!!

Can I propose something regarding Russian titles?

Instead of prince, you can call him boyar (high ranked Russian noble) or bogatyr (legendary Russian hero). Can help you choosing proper name for him.

[Argonor]

Very, very nice!  

And the models look like they could also be pressed into service as alternative Rohan Royal Guards  

[SaxonBlackwater]

I love the paint job on the horse on the right, can't wait to see you finish the rest of them!

[Mason]

What a stunning start!
 

[Eric the Shed]

Ughhh....lost for words

Please tell me the flag is printed
