Grand Duchy of Warsaw firing line

I've just finished the first Murawski Miniatures firing line. The weather is shocking here at present so had to take the pictures indoors - hence they are worse than usual!

The firing line pictured here is of the 10th regiment in 1812, and comprises of 20 different figures.












Hope you like the pictures and hopefully get some better shots in teh new year when the weather is better.

The figures are available from my good self unpainted or from the Murawski Miniatures website.

Murawski Miniatures Krakus painted by Francesco Thau

All I can say is a big "wow".  Please don't take my word for it though - have a look yourself!

 Officer and 2 of the 3 troopers available
 Standard bearer: apparently they didnt use trumpeters or standards.
 By all accounts if was a "follow-me" sort of thing.
 According to some sources the Krakus, made up of the landed gentry and their tenants, were some of the best light cavalry available to Napoleon in 1813.
 Polish horse stock was some of the best in Europe at the time.
 The Krakus were born in the saddle and used to defending what was theirs.
 There is some confusion as to the horses however as Napoleon mentioned some mounted on small ponies. All other references I have seen refer to the Krakus as battle cavalry and this is how we decided to portray them.
 The standard of painting here by Francesco is staggering.
Many thanks to Francesco for sharing the pictures. The Krakus, and an entire range of Grand Duchy of Warsaw Poles are available from me and Murawski Miniatures.
