Some WIP for Transylvanians from 'By Fire and Sword' range. They will be part of our new Kickstarter starting (hopefully) next month. I. Transylvanian haiduks (foot and mounted) II. Transylvanian standard bearer from command group Best regards Michal 'Kadrinazi' Paradowski By Fire and Sword design team

Quite nice. Given the traditional clothing, useful from the 16th – 18th centuries? I can't see the musket lock. Could have some truly vicious and colorful skirmishes with these.

Haiduks are based on early XVII century engravings, the standard bearer is based on XVIII century copy of a mid XVII century drawing. So haiduks would work for late XVIc and early XVIIc. As for the standard bearer I'd rather use him in mid-late XVIIc conflicts like transylvaninan attack on Poland during the Deluge, Imre Thokoly's uprising and Wien campaign.

The musket in the smallest colourised print above can be seen in this print of Hungarian Infantry, 16th century, after Aurél Richter. Another print of Hungarian Infantry after Aurél Richter. Prints of Hungarians after Caspar Luyken, published in 1703, include a Freebooter from the Carpathian mountains, a Haiduk, a Honack, a Hungarian Gentleman & a Hussar.

Drerssed in Hungarian style, which was very popular starting with Stefan Batory's reign as Polish king :)

Drerssed in Hungarian style, which was very popular starting with Stefan Batory's reign as Polish king :) To use a Pole as a source for Hungarian costume you would first have to show it is Hungarian style from other sources, so why not just use those other sources (if they exist)?

We had enough written description in Polish primary sources to identify Hungarin influence in this and many other pictures. New WIP – Transylvanian commander [/URL]

Great mini. I wonder on what sources will be based vlach cavalry in service of Rákóczi György? Szabo's book?
