Elite Tatar Warriors finished ...

Elite Tatar Warriors (WIP)

Selected a few types of my castings Tatar, Polish Pancerni and Ottoman cavalry riders, to do some conversion to make up a unit of Elite Tatar warriors....(sons of nobles..)

Adding to the Library (5) ...

Soldiers & Weapons Polish-Ottoman war books...

Nice books, the main text is in Italian (which I can just about read, with help from online translate tools)  The colour plates are nicely done and cover the troops types - the text for these is in Italian and English.

Polish Light Cavalry ... reworked....

 While I had the 17th century storage boxes out, I noticed my Polish Light Cavalry needed some attention, I'd painted the two units, one in a green theme and the other a blue theme - a bit too 'uniform'. So I've repainted/rebased them to give a better look.

The original green and blue themed units....

On the workbench and altering hats ....

Some of the coats repainted and blue/green/red/brown now intermingled....much better than before

Tatars painted ....

 Finally got round to painting the tatars I cast in February(!)..

They join the rest to make up a horde-let ....

The commanders...

Tatars .. recruiting more ...

The current tatar force ...

Recently I spent a bit of time casting twelve more, 

this will give me a total of 32 +  three command, enough to make a good sized raiding force or as allies for a potential cossack army.

The Treaty of Montberg..

With no viable remaining field army, Wittenberg in possession of the Hoflandt, Saxe-Jarlsberg has no alternative to sue for peace. Saxe-Jarlsberg will cede control of the Hoflandt to Wittenberg.

Delegates gather at in the abbots hall  at the Montberg abbey.  The finalisation of the treaty to end hostilities in the Hoflandt will be signed.  Cardinal Lazunarund and his assistant has already arrived and is about to go into the hall, the Cardinal will sign the treaty for Wittenberg. The coach carrying Count Pottensdorf, the Herzog of Saxe-Jarlsberg's first minister, has just arrived ....
