I was looking for recommendations on figures to use for Polish infantry in the siege of Vienna. |

In 15mm Legio Heroica from their 1683 range, 25mm Foundry and TAG, Tally Ho! |

28mm-looking for infantry depicted on plate D of Osprey Polish armies volume 2. TAG figures look like haiduk. |

Legio Heroica infantry look spot on-just need them in 28mm |

TAG probably will fill the bill. |

Old Glory's are also haiduks. I think the only Polish infantry you will find in 28mm are haiduks. I am not aware of any that have the late 17th century caps shown in the Osprey book. I wonder if you might be able to use Muscovite strelsy for the that look? |

TAG Poles are nice but too early for Vienna. I've yet to see any Poles in proper dress in 28mm and I wish someone would also do some really nice later Winged Hussars as well. |

So far, I've had no luck with post-1676 28mm Polish Foot. The closest was painting Streltsi in fur hats (Old Glory in this case)to have half sleeves. Not accurate, but visually OK from far enough away. Frankly, not the best compromise. Also was going to do that with the pikes, but for some reason these showed up as standard TYW pikes, so did not have a chance to try the "look". Love my TAG Haiduks, but they are Haiduks and you have to add axes for the intermediate period when some carried axes (that ranged from long to short, apparently). I used firing line poses, then either laid the axes on the ground or put them up as rests. 15mm Legio Heroica look good. So far, those are the only late Polish foot I have seen in the scale. |

For 15mm, I actually prefer Old Glory 15's Poles, they are less Essex-ish in character that Legio. They make later Polish foot and their heads seem more in proportion to their bodies. A matter of personal taste but I don't like the big heads. Yes LH's display models are always superbly painted and I think that's what is so attractive about them -- they definitely know how to market better than OG15s.  link link link Musketeers have eight different poses, four shooting and four advancing, very nicely sculpted and posed, for .36 a piece! |

Any luck yet for 28mm 1683 Polish troops? |
