The Scanian War 1675 – 1679: ”Snapphanar”

"Snapphanar" defending Scanian village


Here is my first batch of the illustrious Snapphanar Guerrilla warriors, to be used in coherence with a rule adaption of the skirmish game Muskets & Tomahawks.

In the service of the Danish King, these local recruits set out to assist in the ”liberation” of the lost eastern Danish provinces from Swedish occupation. 
The war was bitterly contested, with atrocities common on both sides, so the Snapphanar guerilla really lived in extreme danger, as they faced certain torture and painful execution through empalement, if ever captured by the Swedes.


Svend "Gønge" Poulsen - infamous guerrilla leader

      Hi Mikkel, and thanks for your comment. Yes, they're all from Perry's ECW range. I'll give the new Warfare Miniatures range a go, when painting regular Danish infantry later on. Shall be interesting to see the compatibility in size and sculpting.
