"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.

ReplyDeleteHi 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.
DeleteLooking good.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking minis, and the first picture is simply amazing!
