For Manny, who will base them and add their flags later.
Transylvanians (those ones, not those ones, get your mind out the gutter).
15mm Renaissaince (By The Fire And Sword) miniatures, this is the starter 'skirmish' set. There are another 19 blisters and command box to do.

Heavy household troops - lancers

These were really fun to paint.

They could hurt!

Tried to tie them into the heavy cavlary theme

There's a lot more to add

I like the colour palette on these guys.
Nice one Will. They look like good minis as well.
Batch 2: As ever, Manny will add the flags and his own basing at his leisure.
12 bases of househole levy lancers (36 figures, not sure how many units that equates to) for the 15mm Transylvanians.

Only realised when I started processing the images that there was always one lance off background! :'(

They do look pretty cool en masse though!

Lances certainly make a point (I'll get me coat). Once they have flags they will look really impressivve I bet!

Player's eye view, the lances comme with a drilled through ball bearing to make the guard, a clever idea, but just don't drop them, they go EVERYWHERE! ~X(

Not sure how much of a By Fire and Sword force this is, but it's scary!

Nice job! Is "househole" a traditional Transylvanian insult, or a reflection on the hovels they live in?
Oops!
Well spotted Graham!
30 extra Transylvanian light horse for Manny

Not as bright as others, but these are lower order troops.

Lots of hairy cavalry

As ever, Manny will base these himself.

That way lads!

The force, so far (there's still have a bag of blisters to do)

To your normal standard again :P
Looks lovely.
If you wanted to add a few individual 'character' figures East Front Miniatures (who have taken over the old ERM Eastern European ranges) do a fantastic Transylvanian armoured lancer type with the long straggly flowing hair - very 'Dracula' - really looking the business. They also do mail armoured Voynuks on foot with a halberd - and nobody else seems to do these, or do them 'correctly'.
Helion also have a really nice book, in their Retinue to Regiments series, on the Transylvania armies 1541-1613 - well worth your client looking at.
I think that this is a really nice TYW army, different from the usual Pike & shot armies or the Poles & Ottomans.
Thank you for that.
Ten more bases of Transylvanians for Manny, this time Comitatus or heavy household troops.

Heavy lancers. A lot more colourful than the light horse.

As ever, Manny will do his own basing and add flags later.

Lots of cloaks

Quite a sizable force
