Crusaders

The Crusaders


The Crusades have always interested me, especially the struggle between Saladin and Richard 1st.  I decided to go for 15mm figures for this project, using the excellent Legio Heroica models from Italy.

The Crusaders

COMMANDERS



King Richard the Lionheart.  








Henry II of Champagne, king of Jerusalem. 















Garnier de Nablus, grand master of the Order of St John.








MILITARY ORDERS

The Order of St John, The Knights Hospitaller.



The Knights, 














The foot sergeants



Hospitaller crossbowmen



The Knights Templar



Knights



Foot sergeants


Templar crossbowmen


Crusader Knights


These are quite early looking Knights, they would probably fit in a 1st crusade army too....


Slightly later looking Knights, probably with a bit more money to spend on the latest kit...

Foot Sergeants


Flemish and French



English


German


International foot Sergeants



Crossbowmen



Pilgrims



The full army.


Turcopoles

Skirmishers


I suppose an army is never really finished, this lot comes to 400 points in Impetus, but i have a suspicion it will increase in size in the future.....and of course ill need to add a few skirmisher units too......



Oh, and just to show off, some pictures of these miniatures are in this fine publication....

To be continued.......
