What kind of thing are you looking for?  The only TB figures for that region would be in the already released ranges: https://pendraken.co.uk/tb-line/  The Middle Age ranges still to come are Islamics and Mongols, so not quite German in their appearance!

Thanks Leon
Was thinking of pagan prussian types. For scandanavian crusades.

I don't think there's anything like that in the existing ranges I'm afraid.  Have you got any pics of them I can have a look at and we'll see if we can find a suitable proxy?

My recollection of the Prussians were that they were similar in armour, equipment and dress to the Vikings.

Tunic, trousers, boots and maybe a cloak, with the better-offs having mail shirts and conical helmets. Spears, swords, knives or axes for weapons.

Others, more versed in the period, may know better.

Hello

Here is a pic from the redoubtable old WRG Feudal Europe book, attached below.

Closest thing would be the TB Line Russians, maybe painted as wearing leather armour. If they are going to be paired up with the TB Line Teutonics, just be aware that if you intend using vanilla Pendraken, there is a size difference with the TB Line being closer to Fantasy size rather than the vanilla Pendraken size. Maybe you could use some of the Fantasy Barbarians as well:-

Those are the figures I was wanting at the bottom of grumpy old man's reply.
Also forgot to ask, are you going to doing any flags for these ranges.

The line drawn figures, look fairly generic dark ages figures.

Would the Norman medium foot work? They have light to no armour, kite shields and spears. I don't think there are any archers with kite shields though.

As fred says, Normans with kite shields could be an option?

There's no plans for flags at the moment, we've got our flag guy busy working on some Indian Mutiny and ACW designs currently so we'd have to look at that again in 2020.

Hi

In the meantime for flags you could have a look at https://web.archive.org/web/20181222125143/http://www.krigsspil.dk/download/download_9.html (https://web.archive.org/web/20181222125143/http://www.krigsspil.dk/download/download_9.html) or http://www.warfareeast.co.uk/main/Images/Teutonic/teu_standards.jpg (http://www.warfareeast.co.uk/main/Images/Teutonic/teu_standards.jpg) to print out some or https://www.wargamesdesigns.com/teutonic-knights.html (https://www.wargamesdesigns.com/teutonic-knights.html) if you want to buy some.

, just be aware that if you intend using vanilla Pendraken, there is a size difference with the TB Line being closer to Fantasy size rather than the vanilla Pendraken size.

For infantry, I haven't found this, most TB line figures I have seem to fit well size wise with Pendraken historical.

For cavalry its a different matter, the TB line Arabs I have, have much bigger horses than Pendraken historical - more in line with GW horses Warmaster horses.

And I have found the above quite often the case with 10mm ranges, while foot figures are generally compatible horse sizes can be very varied between manufacturers.

Maybe some late roman unarmoured troops could be used aswell? I know the shields are oval/round though.

Someone had some saxons painted up, propably a mixed up bunch of different ranges.
