Another unit of Polish Pancerni

With the big game looming I had given myself the impossible task of painting loads of extra figures for the game. Poles, Swedes, Saxons and even a Russian Gun and crew.

Undetered by how big a job I had set (I wrote them into the army list so I really did need to get them done) I cracked on hoping for the best.


The first unit over the line and arguably the one I needed to get done first anyway were this unit of Polish Pancerni.

Two thirds of the Polish forces were Pancerni by this stage of history so this was a good addition, The Poles may not have performed well during the Great Northern War, with divided loyalties and a certain war weariness but they fought in large numbers so we really need lots of them on table.


The figures are a mix of manufacturers, four Pancerni and a standard bearer from Redoubt with a trumpeter and officer from TAG and the kettle drummer from Foundry.
The Horses are an even bigger mix, Warlord plastic, Redoubt, Gripping beast, TAG and others.

I am reasonably happy with how these came out, so that just leaves me with 2 more generals, a Russian gun and crew, a Swedish Horse, Swedish Foot, Saxon Foot and Polish Dragoon regiment to paint and base. Easy!

Check back in to see how I get on.

    A nice looking unit and very useful as I'm about to start a Polish army and am looking to get some Pancerni. I hadn't considered Redoubt up to this point, but they look as if they fit in alright with TAG and Foundry. How have you found mixing those three ranges?

      I think they are a great fit and the Pancerni in the Redoubt range I think are the nicest figures they do. Not sure if they are over the issues with orderign they had last year but hopefully, the Foundry are really nice too I just needed to swap the horses around as they are quite a bit smaller.

    Thse are very nice paint jobs and your planned game sounds like a winner. What rules will you be using?

      We are using very heavily amended Black Powder (very heavily) the game played really well, a big write up so may be a week or so before I put it up. There are detaisl of the rule amends we have sused in earlier after action reports.
