1/72 Thirty Years War Swedish

1/72 plastics from Revell and A Call to Arms.
Army02The ‘Army'.
Another oldie re-vamped. Adjusted the foot basing, expanded the existing cavalry and added another regiment, stole a gun from the Catholics.  When the two armies met previously on the table the Swedes could make no headway due to the Catholics outgunning them by two to one.  The sides are a bit more even now but each still has it’s differences.

  2. Thanks Nick; I got fed up breaking and bending pikes so built extensions!

  3. Great army and great post. As usual I really like how you present your army and the kits it comes from. Something I keep on meaning to emulate. The big bases for the pikes are good but I really like the way you based the dragoons. I've never seen that before and it is instantly recognizable.

  5. Thanks Gents. I can't really claim credit for the dragoons Sean, it's how it's done in DBR. Pretty neat though I must admit!
