After painting some small 6mm Swedish and Russian forces for later 17th century, I started on a Polish army, painting up pancerni initially. I later finished a base of Winged Lancers but never photographed them until today. The figures are nice sculpts but the horse ankles are a bit delicate with some of the poses. The goal is to paint up a small army with a few bases of winged lancers, a few more of pancerni, maybe some irregular horse and then some of the lesser know infantry types and a base or two of artillery. The Poles can fight my Swedes, Russians and ultimately Turks (whenever they are painted up).

This project has languished a bit and at some point I need to finish the Poles, tackle the Ottomans and flesh out Russian and Swedish forces...I also have a partially painted Danish army. I really like the Tercios rules for this period and it would be fun to get some of these other exotic Eastern European armies painted up and on the tabletop.
