3pdr cannon with crew

 Finally finished another small set - 3pdr cannon with crew and accessories.

Soon it will be available in my store. Stay tuned!

Ultima ratio...

 Artillery, while not being as powerful as 100 years later, already played major role in 17th century conflicts. Started working on small 3pdr regimental gun with accessories.

Stay tuned, more to come as those cannons can't shoot themselves without any crewmen!

Boyar Sons set 1

 And finally here they are!

First set of boyar sons (4 miniatures, both armored and unarmored) is ready!

Soon they will be available at my store. Stay tuned for further updates!

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!

Mounted servant cossacks and pack horses printed

 I've received first batch of printed cavalry models. Just undercoated them.

Unfortunately, models caught some dust while the paint was still wet, but you still can see how they look in reality:

Stay tuned, more 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!
