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.
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
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.......
Stunning! I do like your army...
