AHPC12 - Donnybrook - Polish Guard Haiduks

 


Its not long to go, I can't believe its gonna be the end of the Challenge soon, (its already ended, I'm just behind on my posts!) where did the time go? 
For this entry I'm posting my last unit for my Polish/Imperialist army for the siege of Vienna in 1683,


Here we have the 8 figure Guard Haiduk regt, along with a commander and two standard bearers.


All figures are from The Assault Group, apart from the Commander on the left, he's a figure from Essex Miniatures. You may notice the lack of muskets?
Who needs a gun when you can have a massive chopper?

The Guards carried halberds instead.


Rear pic, just encase I only painted the front of the figures.


The flag on the right comes from the same source as I've previously copied in and the flag on the left is from Alex Pil's flag site that I can't find anymore?

11 figures @5pts

55 points!

  3. They do look lovely! And these new comment boxes Blogger just gave us today are horrid and do not go well with some of the web browsers. In order to comment I now have to close all Firefox protection to be able to comment :(

  13. Great job Ray. I'd be curious to see what those enormous flags have done to the centre of gravity of the standard bearers. I love BIG flags.
