Military Order Warriors (Strelets)

Twelve poses, all of them static but they are intended for and make a pretty decent shieldwall as suggested HERE on PSR.
I haven´t painted them up as members of a Military order, I´ve got enough of those for now but there can never be enough arrow fodder. I went for made up stripes designs, cheverons and pales etc on thier shields.
Several of them, after a shield swop  could be recruited into a Norman army
The bod on the right looks like he´s armed with a Falchion. without a crossguard. Although this looks wrong, I´m pretty sure I´ve seen Falchions without crossguards.
he bod second from the right. He hasn´t got baggy 16th century trousers ala Black Adder, it´s the padded Gambeson split

Additional Standard bearer converted from the Strelets Medieval crossbowmen set.

  8. Great paint-job! It's not easy to paint strelets stuff but you always achieve great results!
    I like this set, it's so useful. OK not the best looking but so many possibilities for painting conversions!

  9. Great work! and it's pleasant to see them in another use!
    (I've painted few of them as Normans, but don't remember which ones exactly!)

    For the Blogs, I've seen that it works with some of them (few) and impossible with others!
    I don't have problem for adding in my blog-roll, as far I know...

  14. Great work. Strelets can be so hard to paint yet you always seem to manage to make them look good.
