Ian S - Polish Renassaince Cavalry force

Dear All

I have not posted for awhile due to a number of issues like work and the lack of flock, i seem to be going through the stuff at a rapid rate.  My latest order took over two weeks to arrive.

This project is a Polish Renaissance Cavalry force for my son.  In late 2018 our local rule writer at our club turned up with a set of Renaissance rules and two armies, Ottomans and Imperials.  My Son immediately decided that a Polish army would be an obvious choice especially as his partner is Polish.  This era i have no knowledge of at all and when he said dad could you do the cavalry for me i agreed on the assumption that the two armies seen had a ratio on 3 infantry to 1 cavalry figure.  He mention something about the force being based on some seige and promptly ordered the figures and left to go back to university.

Oh what joy when figures arrived and i found the cavalry force consisted of the following:

Winged hussars 72 figures in 6 units

Pancerni 84 figures in 7 units

Rajtar 24 figures in 2 units 

Cossacks 48 figures in 6 units

Dragoons 16 figures in 2 units

Command 9 figures in 4 bases

Total 253 figures

In the spring of 2019 i completed 127 figures, so this challenge was the oppertunity to finish army.

All figures are from Lancshire games.

First up three units of cossacks

 

Two units of Rajtar

Four units of Pancerni

2 units of Winged hussar

Command Bases

So points:

Winged Hussars 24 15mm figures - 96pts

Pancerni 48 15mm figures - 192pts

Rajtar 24 15mm figures - 96pts

Cossaxks 24 15mm figures - 96 pts

Command bases 6 15mm figures - 24pts

Total pts - 504pts

Never again will i agree to paint an army for a relative without finding out what is in it.

In going through my odds box i found some more anciet indians enough for an 8 figure unit of light infantry 16pts

And to finish with the Indian Department independant company for the Britich Canadian army of 1812.

So Total points for post:

Polish Cavalry - 504pts

Ancient indians - 16pts

!812 Indians - 12pts

Total - 532pts.

The next Project is something for myself at last.  With limited cavalry!
