Ta for the comments chaps.

Not to my knowledge. If you have a quick gander at the blog, I've written a small, introductory laymans piece (I'm the layman by the way) on Polish heraldry. It's different to western Europe in a number of interesting ways...not least that it's a lot easier to paint!

As we are only allowed two pics in the competition I thought I'd put a few more here of the Templar base I have painted. My units are in 3's and the other two bases -of guest knights and their sergeants- will be along on the next bus.





and from the other, less shielded so less glamorous side...

Cheers for that, Kev. I always paint my own shields -some good, some not so. That's one of the good thing about Polish heraldry of the time, no quartering, no bars -sinister or otherwise. I would really hate to try and paint an English, French or German quartered shield with different charges in each quarter in 10mm. Some of the guest knights have quartered but they are all plain (that's why I chose them). I mean, my 25mm lions on an ECW standard were once described as being more like growling rats.

Here is the first unit of levy infantry. More photos and information on my blog.

I'm liking these, I've probably missed this info, but what system are they based for?

Thanks Jason,
I don't base to any particular rule system and apart from the occasional commander everything goes on 60 x 40mm and as I normally do both sides all the base sizes are immaterial. If the rules specify a certain base size for LI and another for HI etc, I move on and check out another set. At the moment I'm looking at Impetus.
