MoRdheim: Middenheimers: Young Wolves (WIP)

Image
Na bazie rozpędu z drużyną Middenheimu, postanowiłem stworzyć i pomalować trzech młodszych wojowników. Posłużą mi do tego figurki Jomsvikingów do sytemu SAGA. Akurat te wzoru posiadam w swojej drużynie i brakująca trójka została skonwertowana z innych modeli ( co pokaże po pomalowaniu za czas jakiś).
Wracając do Zbrojnych z Middenheimu. Posiadam już trójkę konnych ( Dowódcę-Pierworodnego, oraz dwóch bohaterów- Wybranych Synów), oraz trzech odpowiedników na piechotę.
Brakował mi tylko niższych rangą zbrojnych.

[EN/PL] Mortal Gods: Mercenary Hoplites / Hoplici #1

Image
Hello everyone!

In addition to the recently shown Athenians, simultaneously working on mercenary Hoplites, one of the less powerful Polis.
Therefore, today the first painted base (and some bonuses) from the CORE BOX described some time ago for the Mortal Gods game, treating the conflict in ancient Greece.

Plastic minis attached to the basic set can also be found in the Mercenary Armoured Hoplites 5th to 3rd Century BCE from VICTRIX LTD.
They look beautiful and are definitely my favorites among plastic historical models.

Hoplites, the heavy infantry fighting in close formation called the phalanx were
a common view of the battlefields in ancient Greece in the mid-seventh century BC.

The hoplite troops were made up of free, wealthy citizens of Greek cities, that is, polis and peasants …

[EN/PL] The first folk crusade. Part IV. Expedition of Peter the Hermit and Walter without Property (1096) / I Wprawa ludowa. Część IV. Wyprawa Piotra Pustelnika i Waltera bez Mienia (1096r.) [V&V Miniatures: Pilgrims 1 set #2]

HELLO EVERYONE!
I invite you today for the fourth entry related to the folk expedition that preceded the First Crusade.
The entries received from V&V Miniatures - the next two from the set "Pilgrims"

That's why I love models V&V Miniatures (I painted a V&V Viking a few years ago and Pilgrims 2 box):
excellent quality of details (probably the best on the market in historical models made in resin in 28 mm),interesting poses that are certainly not boring.Miniatures can act as Pilgrims, Monks, poor brothers, beggars ... and they can be used in many battle wargames.
For some time I leave my brothers' painting for ...Crusader knights :)

[EN/PL] Dwarf crossbowmen / Krasnoludzcy kusznicy

Image
I warmly welcome!
As part of the rest from the historical projects of the Crusaders and Ancient Greece,  two classic models of dwarf crossbowmen today.

As there are many non-original models, and copy-lovers (who admit it themselves!), I would like to point out that my little ones are 100% original GW models, actually Marauder Miniatures. Both designs come from 1990, and were sculpted by Aly Morrison and Colin Dixon.

The first dwarf could successfully serve at one of the royal troops as a commander in the years of splendor of dwarven kingdoms. Now he can be the captain of imperial crossbowmen, bitterly mentioning old times.A second crossbowman with a different appearance from his companion, which I expressed in a different painting, looks like a hunter or ranger from Tyrol or other mountain region of Germany and Switzerland.

Both models I like very much both models, have huge tracts of charm (which is not to be found in AoS or WFB from edition 7 up) and will proudly feed the ranks of my Dw…

[EN/PL] Peloponnesian War #2 / Wojna Peloponeska #2 (Mortal Gods: Athenian Hoplites #1)

Image
Hello everyone!
Today I continue painting the Athenian army to the Mortal Gods system.
I invite you to see the first base of Hoplites. My Athenians will have a coherent motif on the shield in the form of owls. I leave the dials more elaborately for the Mercenary Hoplites painted for them at the same time.

Characteristic. Part II.
The very beginning of the conflict was inauspicious for Athens. Sparta decided to use the tactics of destruction, hoping that this would lead to a swift conclusion of peace.
Spartans invaded Attica and during the harvest they destroyed farmland and burned buildings.

       In addition, an epidemic broke out in Athens. Pericles died in 429 BC by the disease that also reached him. After the death…
