I am interested in painting up a 28mm Late Teutonic army for the Battle of Tannenberg. There are several lovely lines of Agincourt related figures available. As the battles are fairly close in time (separated by 5 years) would that a good source for figures? My initial hunch was be that the French/English "look" would be a ahead of central/eastern Germany and the Teutonics but in reading further about it I am less confident that this was the case. Any suggestions or opinions are most appreciated. |

As always, my goto first stop is Old Glory. Join the Old Glory army and the fist two or three packs will pay off the initial fee. |

You should be fine with Agincourt figures. There were lots of "Crusaders" contingents from various European countries in the battle of Tannenberg. There was a small English contingent, for example, and individuals from all over Western Europe. You'll be perfectly OK with figures from Agincourt ranges. |

Appreciate the feedback and the source material as well. I think this will be a fun army to paint up. Thanks again. |
