From RayR: Donnybrook - Polish High Command 65pts

 

My very last post for Challenge XII and not a badger or sandbag in sight!

A big thank you has got to go to Curt, Sarah and all the excellent minions, especially Greg, the Wednesday Minion. And a big congrats to all my fellow Challengers for helping pull me along during the challenge with all your works of art and comments.

Thank you everyone!

For my last post I have a selection of Polish High Command figures.

All based up on 50mm round bases.

Both these figures are from The Assault Group and come from the Janusz "the black" Radziwill, Grand Hetman of Lithuanian, pack

The flag comes from the website of Alex Pil, which for some reason I can't find anymore???

They shall be used as the Hero and Standard Bearer in Donnybrook.

They both painted up pretty easily and cleaned up very nice, unlike the infantry.

Rear shot

One last pic!

Of both of them.

Now the other 3 figures.

All are from Essex Miniatures

This Commander isn't really a commander, he's actually a Kettle Drummer minus the drums.

I thought he'd make a great looking commander and I think I'm right?

This isn't a commander either, he's a King!

King Wladyslaw IV 1595-1648 in fact.

So truthfully he's a little early, but he's still a great looking figure and fits in perfect.

My least favourite of all the command figures, but we can't all look good can we?

He's a Polish Mounted Colonel

And the rear of the year award goes to......

Two great horse on the left and middle, But the right hand horse doesn't really go with the rider, in my opinion? But that's all I had.

Also we have 3 foot leaders.

The first figure on the left is from the same pack as the 2 mounted TAG figures above.

The other 2 figures are from Essex Miniatures. These 3 will be spare leaders and/or will be command figures, if I ever get anything else painted up.

50pts for the 5 mounted figures

15 points for the 3 foot figures

Makes a total of 65 points.

Yet more wonderful Poles for your collection, Ray. I love all the vibrant colours you have happening with these figures all contrasted nicely by your excellent basing. I also think the use of the kettle drummer as a commander is simple, but brilliant addition to your command component. My only regret is not being able to task you with having an actual game with them as I did last year. ;P 

It's been a pleasure to have you with us again Mr. Rousell. November next year? I hope so.
