[EN/PL] Northern Crusades. Konrad, the Devil and the Latrunculi / Struters (knights - brigands). Teutonic Order #2 / Krucjaty Północne. Konrad Diabeł i Struterowie (rycerze rozbójnicy) Krzyżacy #2 (Fireforge Games)

Hello everyone!
I use the last days of vacation and invite you to the last entry in July. I decided to follow the blow and publish one more entry in the Teutonic climates. On this occasion, I painted the first three knights-robbers (Struters / Latrunculi), who were in the thirteenth century on the services of the Teutonic Order in the times of the Northern Crusades and the wars of the Teutonic Knights with Prussians and Lithuanians.

For this project I used models from two sets from Fireforge Games:
Scandinavian InfantryFoot SergeantsWhite coats were only allowed to be worn by brothers-knights and chaplains (including priests and clerics). The servants' brothers had to be satisfied with gray cloaks and shields (with a specific cross).
As my robbers, of which more below, are not servant brothers, but more mercenaries in the service of the Order, their dress is not orthodox, and only shields show who they are fighting for.

[EN/PL] Mordheim: Witch Hunters: Flagellants #2 / Łowcy Czarownic: Biczownicy #2

Image
Hello everyone!
Admittedly, I had plans to finish three new Flagellants, not one, but the flood of work-related matters that waiting after the holidays took me away physically and mentally, and my eyes needed rest :-)
       I am returning to my Witch Hunter project today.
Previous entries about this atmospheric band in the damned Mordheim under THIS LINK
The models that I decided to use are 6-edited metal Flagellants from the Empire army.
BTW my favorite designs from all editions of this unit in WFB.

Today, the text refers directly to the history of Flagellants
I invite you!

Flagellants  are the same name of members of religious brotherhoods, existing from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century.The countries in which they mainly carried their news and bloody sacrifices were Italy and Germany.Then also Spain and Poland joined.In our "pious" country for centuries, public whipping has been practiced as a form of repentance for grave sins.

The name Flagellants came from the Latin flage…

MoRdheim: Middenheimers: Young Wolves (WIP)

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] Dead Marshes Spectre / Widmo z Martwych Bagien

Image
Hello everyone!
Today, a short break from the historical atmosphere for my favorite Lord of the Rings series. I decided to paint one of the models that I have already taken for over a decade.
        Many metal patterns of models that came out during the premiere of the movies and shortly after them have undoubted charm and great painting potential. I come back to them very, very kindly.

The Spectre is a creature haunting the Dead Marshes through where Frodo, Sam and Gollum passed in the Two Towers, on their journey to the heart of Mordor. They are not ghosts or zombies, and as Gollum used to say, something like specters: "You can't touch them, feel them. Maybe it's just shapes, without a body?"
But let's give voice to master Tolkien and the three heroes traveling through the Dead Marshes...

In the dark half-light, as far as the eye could see in south and east, wetlands and swamps stretched out before them. Fog stretched over the stinking backwaters, a suffocating odo…

[EN/PL] Northern Crusades. Prussia and Lithuania. Teutonic Order #3 / Krucjaty Północne. Prusy i Litwa. Krzyżacy #3 (V&V Miniatures Crusader box)

Good morning!
On August 15, we celebrate in Poland the festival of the Rapture of the Saint Virgin Mary (Assumptio Beatissimae Mariae Virginis in caelum), so another two knights of The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem (commonly known as the Teutonic Knights) from V&V Miniatures  from "Crusaders"box today.       Models, as I have mentioned many times, are made of resin and look perfectly. Beautiful quality and a multitude of details only emphasize the values of figurines.
