Boyar Sons - first preview

My friends who also play 17th century wargames often ask me - when I'm going to start working on the cornerstone moscovite units. First of all, it's about boyar sons cavalry. 

Well, let's not disappoint them - here is a first draft of a boyar son. This one is quite wealthy as he has a decorated helmet, but otherwise old-school cavalryman. He doesn't have any firearm, only bow.


Stay tuned, more boyar sons are yet to come!

Preview - Mounted servant cossacks and pack horses

Here am I with new update!

I want to announce next 2 sets that soon will appear in my store. These are mounted servant cossacks and pack steppe horses. Both use the same type of small "bahmat" steppe horses that were famous for their endurance and were extensively used by moscovite and tartar cavalry.


Mounted servant cossacks were not cavalry - in fact they usually acted like typical mounted infantry of the said period. Set consists of 4 different cossacks armed with matchlock firearms and some hand-to-hand weapons, including spears, sabers, knives and axes.






Pack horses pack (lol) includes 2 steppe horses with various saddle bags and can be used in your mounted or infantry units as well as on some headquarters and supply bases.





Stay tuned for more!
