Novgorodians 2


Here is the second unit of mounted druzhina for my Novgorod force for the Baltic Crusades project. This time it's a lesser prince – the guy with the nice red fur hat – and his retinue.

The miniatures are once again from Gripping Beast, and the flag and shield transfers are from LBMS.

Some more pictures:


That's all the Novgorod cavalry for now. I might do some steppe riders later, but I've had enough of horses for a while so next I will focus on getting some infantry painted up.

Have a great weekend everyone!

  4. Your Rus warband is fast becoming one of my favorites. I love how the color red ties them together and all of the little touches. The metalwork is again wonderful as well as the basing wonderful. What is the Rus word for wonderful?
