Teutonic Order Commander from Oddziat Osmy

Teutonic Order Commander

As I posted on the 17th August I still had some unpainted Teutonic's from Oddziat Osmy in Poland. They are the original sculpts and to be honest I was quite disappointed with them as their horses were cast in two halfs along the body. These sculpts were never popular horses and have now been discontinued by the new British owners but they were an EBay bargain. The horses are now supplied by Fighting15's and have been turned into traditional one piece castings. Of the nine outstanding knights I have managed to create a single generals elements. I found a flag sheet of various standards for the 15th century online which allowed be to create the right look. It does mean I can now deploy an ally contingent if necessary.

Back in February I posted a blog on an Hussite EBay purchase. https://drewjarman.blogspot.com/2019/02/hussite-infantry-part-1.html

I have finally painted the last of those figures along with 8 others and have made a profit on the items I already sold on.

As you can see from the picture about they are a mixed lot from two different makers, Minifigs and Oddziat Osmy.

First up are the Minifigs German Spearmen. They are Code 222X from their Renaissance Hussite Wars Range but the armour style actually dates from 1400 AD. Being very old sculpts in the typical Minifigs pose they needed some cleaning up due to having lots of flash. I cannot comment on the casting quality as they must be quite old castings so may well have been redone.

The other Minifigs casting is 225X Hungarian Spearmen also from the Hussite Wars Range. Again the armour style dates from 1400 AD.

Lastly I bought a box of Oddziat Osmy Code MT04 Teutonic Order Command 1410 AD figures. It contained nine knights and eight swordsmen. They were cast in rock hard pewter and were original 1st generation Polish sculpts. The Teutonics do not have any actual swordsmen in their army lists that I use but I painted them up to go with the other spearmen. They are nicely sculpted figures and were easy to paint.

I had planned to sell them in due course but might keep them instead.
