New Polish Winged Lancers from Warlord Games

Here they come, thundering onto the battlefield, the Polish Winged Lancers from Warlord Games. Early this week the new box set was released from Warlord Games

There are few more exotic or dramatic bodies of men than were to be found in the squadrons, or pulks of the Polish Winged Hussars.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, these elite horsemen were the flower of Polish chivalry.They dominated almost all the dramatic battles of those centuries with their unstoppable charges.

Few could stand the dreadful impacts of their deadly long lances and those who did risked being hacked down with the variety of swords and pistols carried by the Hussars for close quarters fighting. The vision of the winged lancers with their wooden-framed, feathered wings was a stirring sight and with their colourful plumes, bright clothing and streaming pennants they would be a sight you wouldn't forget.

This brand new, excellent metal boxed set from Warlord contains:
• 8 metal cavalry models including standard bearer, officer and musician.
• 7 steel lances.
• 4-page background guide
• Full-colour standard and lance pennants.

In addition to the boxed set of Winged Lancers, Warlord has created a pack of 3 random Hussars so you can add more horsemen to your regiment.

Warhammer players will recognize the inspiring figures as a basis for Empire troops from the Kislevite plains.

You’ll find rules for using these awe-inspiring historic cavalrymen in Warlords Pike & Shotte rule book.

Have a Great Battle,

Reaper Miniatures Kobold Raiders

Many moons ago I painted these Reaper Kobolds to be used as duelists in an old Warhammer Fantasy Dogs of War Army. Duelists could skirmish in front of your army and help screen "expensive" units from taking early shots from arrows or handguns. As they skirmish, they are harder to hit with ranged weapons!

Here are the lot of raiders, using the jungle as cover to advance on their target! You can still get these guys from Reaper Miniatures, here they are! Thanks to the Reaper Bone Yard, you can buy them individually too.

This is the Kobold with spear and Kobold with sword and shield

This is the front and back of the above Kobold with sword and shield

Another front and back, this time of the Kobold with sword and raised shield

Front and back of the Kobold with sword and and spear

This big guy is the Kobold with Two Handed Axe. Here he is, front and back and also with a weapon swap on the second one. Added a spear in case I ever wanted to add a standard.

We did some experimenting with lighting and jungle terrain...

One of my favorites....

another nice shot of the raiders advancing...

ahhh well, hope you liked these oldies but goodies!

Have a Great Battle!
