[EN/PL] Story of Cardinal Richelieu / Historia Kardynała Richelieu (Anno Domini 1666: Richelieu)

Image
Hello everyone!
I am returning to the 17th Vienna and Anno Domini 1666 game from Wargamer today. The entry's hero will be Cardinal Richelieu (definitely one of my favorite figurines for the game!).
You may ask, what is this French priest doing in 1666, if according to history he died in the year of 1642?
Let us remember that Anno Domini 1666  is a historical game with a large dose of legends, drawing on the folklore of European countries and regions. In addition to regular historical formations, we also have werewolves, golems and ... vampires.
And the last lover of human blood for the needs of the game is the cardinal ...


And what was the life of the historic Cardinal Richelieu ?

When Alexander Dumas made him one of the main characters of the "The Three Musketeers" novel, he described him as a statesman, Machiavellian and devoted to his service in government. On this basis, popular tradition conveys his image as an almost sinister person.


What was he really like?

[EN/PL] Star Wars Legion: Rebel Pathfinders #1

Image
"It's Rogue. Rogue One."
Hello everyone!
There were to be three rebels but I have finished two today. This is my first approach to Star Wars Legion models (previously I painted a few figures for Imperial Assault).
Models on a 32mm scale look pretty good and nothing to complain about.

Spies, saboteurs, and assassins.
The Rebel Pathfinders are the most elite—and the most deadly—of the Alliance’s soldiers. These grizzled combat veterans need unwavering dedication to their cause in order to endure the horrors of their operations and missions.
This was also the case in the suicide mission, where a group of rebels go to the planet Scarif with a stolen imperial ship, which they call Rogue 1...





Witam wszystkich!
Miało być dziś trzech rebeliantów ale skończyłem na razie dwóch. To moje pierwsze podejście do modeli Star Wars Legion (wcześniej malowałem kilka figurek do Imperial Assault).
Modele w skali około 32mm prezentują się całkiem dobrze i nie ma co narzekać.

Szpiedzy, sabotażyści i zab…

[EN/PL] About Golems in Jewish tradition and legend / O Golemach w tradycji i legendzie żydowskiej ( Anno Domini 1666: Rabbi & Golem )

Image
Hello everyone!
I do not slow down in the new year and invite you to the next post. I'm going back to XVII Vienna and Anno Domini 1666 game from polish Wargamer

Rabbi Nathan and Golem today...
Nathan ben Moses Hannover is in his seventies. Nobody knows where or when exactly he was born. Some say Cracow, others say Germany. Having received proper education, he worked as a teacher at the synagogue in Iziaslav. 
During the Chmielnicki Uprising the city fell, got halfway burned to the ground, the Polish nobility graves defiled, Catholic churches demolished and the synagogue turned into a stable. 
Nathan fled along with most of the city population. The remaining 200 Jews who stayed, either because of old age, poor health, or putting to much trust in their neighbors, were killed by the Cossacks. Nathan escaped the turbulent Ukraine and made his way to Venice via Prague. There he studied the kabbalah lore. 
A few years ago he went back to Prague, seeing in his prophecies that hard times were c…

[EN/PL] About the strength of the English bow at the Battle of Agincourt / O sile angielskiego łuku w Bitwie pod Azincourt (Claymore Castings English Archers 5 #2)

Image
Welcome everyone in the new year!
At the beginning of all the best in 2020 for my visitors!
A lot of health, cash and free time for hobbies!

I start the new year with two new painted archers from the Claymore Castingsset.
Miniatures are from the latest series of the manufacturer and in my humble opinion they are phenomenal! They have beautiful poses (this is already the norm at Claymore Castings) and excellent details.
And all this in white metal.

Bretonnia lovers from the world of Warhammer will also find something for themselves.

I would recommend!
