Corvinus' Black Army

[helot2000]

Here's my Later Hungarian army version 2 for FoG v2. I'm desperate to get them on the tabletop. All the Superior Szekler horsemen should be pretty effective, I think.

Clipeati and Armati:

Handgunners:

Crossbow:

Szekler Cavalry

Szekler Light Horse

Hungarian Light Horse

36 Hungarian Nobles:

And a camp:


All Essex 15mm figures. Background and more pics up on my blog: http://twincitiesfieldofglory.blogspot.com/ Just click on Later Hungarian Army in the labels tab on the right and it will take you back through all of the posts.

Superb!

Very nice. I love the shields. I was looking at something similar, but was going to do each base as a city state. I think your way looks better.

Thanks fellows! I really appreciate the feedback.

And Raven, it's a cointoss which way to go on shields. One way gives you a more uniform appearance. The other way lies madness! By the time I got to my 70th shield, I was done with Hungarian heraldry for the year. If you need resources for Hungarian heraldry, I posted links to a Hungarian and a Szeklery website in this series.

The last part of any painting project is to get the troops on the tabletop, crush my opponent and post an AAR.

Very nice. I especially like your camp with the excellent landscaping.

Very nice, I also love the camp, I was thinking about something similar for my Hannibal in Rome army to show crossing the alps

cheers

Scruff, that is brilliant! You have to do it, and if you could fit an elephant on there, it would off-the-charts cool! Make sure to post it if you do it.

Hi,

Hi domblas, thanks for the kind words! The Khurasan figures I used depict them had a 2 handed lance, so no shields. My post also includes an artist's representation of the Rhoxolani here: http://twincitiesfieldofglory.blogspot. ... olani.html

One last tip, go to http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/ and enter the word "Sarmatian" in a search. Loads of good posts come up, including a shield color question! http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=79429

Good luck and good painting!
