A Comprehensive Cavalcade of Cossackish Clubmen

 Here are my new peasants mixed with my old peasants, 125 angry Eastern European farmers. Quite pleased with the overall effect.

 

In this pic, I added a command base and some skirmishing musketeers to make it a proper rebel rabble battalia. 

 Probably my last peasant pics for a while. Next up, maybe Tczew casualties, maybe Trench Crusade, maybe more Of Gods And Mortals.

a Plethora of Peasants

 Here are the Peasant Levy / Dark Age unit builder mashups for my Khmelnitsky Uprising angry serf rebels.

First are seven of them that I just kinda think turned out neat. The Baron's War peasant arms don't quite match the Dark Age bodies but it's not a huge problem

 

These three guys sport looted German-style gear from Warlord Games' ECW/TYW plastics.

I wanted at least some to be in more casual, non-attacking poses. These guys could be objectives or civilians in a skirmish scenario, or even staffage for the terrain.

 

These four are armed with maslaks, a pretty region- and period-specific weapon for the poorest of peasants and tatars, just a horse or donkey's jawbone attached to a stick. I use the curved blades from the old Wargames Factory Persian Infantry to represent the jawbones, and greenstuff for the little straps holding them in place. 
 

 

 

And here are the rest. The heads are almost entirely from the Dark Age Unit builder, with greenstuff fur added, but there are also a handful off Gripping Beast heads and even a few Wargames Factory Persian heads.

 

Later this week I hope to get some pics of these guys mixed in with all my previous peasants, for a proper hoard of rampaging rabble! 

Peasant preview

 I've been meaning to for a while, but I finally bought a box of Peasant Levy and a Dark Age unit builder from Wargames Atlantic to combine into Eastern European rebellious serfs. The former has some delicious peasant weapon arms, including a variety of axes, billhooks, pitchforks and flails, while the latter has oodles of basic bodies and hairy heads. 

 I just took a handful of pics here for scale comparisons and to give a sense of the greenstuff usage this involves. These guys should go great with the Gripping Beast conversions and TAG minis that make up most of my previous peasant hordes.
