(Image, The Battle of Worringen by Wraith DT) |
This second installment of my
WAB Corner Collection consists of various medieval factions.
Nearly all the figures are from
Old Glory Miniatures various 25mm historical range with one exception, which I'll make note of later.
Overall, Dean's figures are based on the troops and heraldry from the
Holy Roman Empire (HRE) of the 13th Century, and specifically centered around the
Battle of Worringen (5 June 1288).
A couple years ago, Dean
set up a Worringen scenario, and then
played-out the battle using the rules
Lion Rampant by
Osprey Publishing.
The results of Dean's tabletop battle was anything but historical, but he and his friend Kimo enjoyed themselves.
And now, at least two allied contingents of the
Duchy of Brabant may (someday) march again!

More Old Glory Mongols in Europe range, this time representing serjeants from the Duchy of Berg. |

On a medieval battlefield, there's no such thing as "too much firepower."
John I, Duke of Brabant has two cannons at his disposal.

In addition to the big guns, the Brabantines are packin' more portable firepower.
|
These handgunners are also from Old Glory's Hussite range. |
|
A second unit of handgunners... |

...and a third unit of handgunners. |
Despite the newfangled firearms, the Brabantines also rely on some tried-and-true missile weapons.
|
A "mixed" unit of crossbowmen. That is, these figures came from Old Glory's Norman and Hussite ranges. |

And then there's the serf's who toil on the Duke's lands--until there's a call-to-arms.

Meanwhile, in the

Ted: Nice to see those figures again. They could be used for a lot time-periods; particularly the spearmen and peasants. Now all you need are some mounted troops :)
Oh, foroot to mention the cannon and handguns are too modern for Worringen.
