Easily one of the hardest kits out there is that of the Byzantine cataphracts. You should read how these mf's rolled up.
>>62526398>VAE VICTIS!
>>62527254Still cant believe an anime about a magical witch has the most accurate depiction of medieval warfare.https://youtu.be/pFsZ3PGG-MI[embed]
>>62526384bump
>>62527996Yes we all saw the Skallacuck video ten years ago.
>>62526384>>62526433Why are Osprey illustrations so hit or miss? This looks like shit. The body shape of the guy in orange lmao.
>>62527897>Ceasar's methods might be brutal and he not operate with the Senate's approval but do you condemn the Gallic attack on Rome 364 auc?
>>62527221Castillon?
>>62531458Sounds like it's down to your varying opinions about the coolness of this or that bit of medieval fashion.
>>62531579IndeedUnderrated battle. As significant as Agincourt strategically and tacticallyxyupx0 speaking
>>62526384bumpo
>only drawings>not even period art, only modern drawings
>>62531429I actually saw the anime when it came out, yes Im a weeb but i like weapons.
>>62540646Jeremy corbyn in blue
>>62540646Why would you chain your dagger to your clothes?
>>62538290True. There are some amazing period artworks available. Siege of Buda, 1530>>62540825So you don't loose it.
Firing platform directed against the city from the Siege of Münster, 1535
>>62531458they probably got better as you look at his later works, since he'd slowly be learning more
Long guns directed against the city of Münster
Formation of Pikemen with some gunners and halberdiers sprinkled in.
Two long guns being aimed
Gunners and two sergeants, who due to their position get double the pay (commonly known as Doppelsöldner).
To the right more gunners and to the left more Doppelsöldner. While this position is often solely associated with Landsknechte wielding the large two handed battle swords, in reality there are many factors that qualify somebody for double the pay. Those are special qualifications, veterancy, supplying your own good quality arms & armor and being an NCO or officer
>>62527996damn that posture is fucking good
Common soldiers with little armor and jsut pikes.
Soldiers with Battle Swords and Halberds.
Ensign and musicians
More armored pikemen and halberdiers
And while seldomly associated with Landsknechte - cavalry also had its place. They were mainly recruited from the urban patricians and petty nobility.
>>62527265me on the right
>>62541653
>>62541653Indeed. Plenty of artworks so full and rich in interesting details that they make those modern drawings look like children doodles
>>62542138
>>62542153
>>62542067>>62542138I really like those kind of artworks - they remind me of picture puzzles/Wimmelbilder. There is always some detail to find.
A Zeugmeister (the officer in charge of the artillery) with his Trabants. When a city was looted, he had the right to confiscate any captured artillery pieces and church bells (in order to produce more long guns).
Loading process of two long guns.
Actual beutifull art ITT thanks /k/-bros, i love you all.
>>62546583
>>62526535Love these lil fellas
>>62549038
>>62546926Their French counterpart, the Corps-Francs; also look pretty cool imo
One of the all time greatest.
>>62527302>Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
>>62546926they were killers of men
>>62534552SHOIGU!GERASIMOV!
>>62527302This doesn't seem historical at all
>>62553432Its an Interpretative rendition of pic rel
>>62526636>>62550454>Byzantine cataphracts.Please, I would like to know more. Only thing I know is that Byzantines used them extensively considering how effective they were
Bump
>>62541678how dangerous were these first guns to the crew?
>>62555447Depends on the respective gun and the material used. Iron guns were cheaper but had the danger of bursting suddenly and catastrophically. Bronze guns on the other hand were more expensive but didn't burst as suddenly and visible deformities could be seen as indicators, that the gun was structurally compromised.On paper every long gun was accompanied by one officer, who understood how not to overload his gun, could adjust the powder charges in a safe manner and was able to identify faults within the gun before it burst.
>>62526535Those eyetalianis are always stylish
>>62527330>>62527312>implying they didnt instantly run when they saw the horses and armor
>>62557345>ancientceltsAnyone know what this depiction is based on? The roman style helmets and scale armor are pretty weird.
>>62557951I don't think them using scale armor is all that weird. Even if they didn't make it they could have just bought it.
>>62557951Those guys on first plan are Roman cavalry unit. In Roman army cavalry was mostly Celts.
>>62552558
>>62553432It is very historical.
>>62557951The Roman helmet you typically think of was based on an older design inherited from the Roman Kingdom, who copied it from the Etruscans, who in turn had copied it from the Celts.That said, the face flaps were added much later, around the time of the Dacian wars. The original two designs kinda looked like metal baseball caps.Could just be a case of the design bouncing back where it came from. Copies of copies of copies of copies, with a few tweaks here and there over the centuries. All circular, all cyclical.
>>62526535> some kinda spring loaded bayonet spear thingyWhat is that?
>>62526384
>>62542138You can find enjoyment in both, no need to be a snob about it.
>>62559932It says he's a pioneer (combat engineer), so I'm guessing it's a wire cutter with a bayonet mount for stabbing a bitch.
>>62531458they look like they're from the 1970s/80solder artists
>>62557951guy bleeding near the door looks like he's wearing a Dacian helmet. so i assume it's supposed to depict a scene during said dacian wars.
>>62560305Angus McBride illustrated plenty Ospreys, here are his works>>62526384>>62526398>>62526415>>62526415>>62526433And plenty more ittAnd pic rel is Marek Szyszko
>>62560079Inca pike phalanx?
Testing my new camera. Model: Swedish army sabre m/1847 for cavalry troopers.
>>62560919Looks great - what type of camera do you have?
>>62557951It's auxiliary troops (Celts) during the Dacian Wars.
>>62557873No they didn't. What are you going on about?
>>62561175New one's a Nikon Zf with a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 lens. So now I'm hoping for weather to take new portraits of the sword collection in the coming week or so.
>>62560919You made this pic look to me like if it is a comically big sword or pretty tiny bench somehow
>>62562923I guess not seeing how far down the backrest goes could make the brain think that's about it and read the proportions as those of a bench rather than the chair it actually is.
>>62562923Having the background blurred like that with depth of field tends to give the impression of miniatures
>>62560501Hawaiians or Maori I'm guessing.
>>62560501>>62563766They're Hawaiians, this is the Battle of Nuʻuanu in 1795, during king Kamehameha's wars of unification of the archipelagohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Nu%CA%BBuanuOther artworks related to those wars

Last bump, nobody else is posting
>>62538613>yes Im a weeb but i like weapons.Why do you think /k/ is called /k/, you dumb fucking newfag?
>>62572512keep posting, these are cool
>>62553805If you want to know more, just do a basic search on what armor they wore. Its insane. Multiple layers of mail and padded armor and like 5 layers of chain mail on their face. They were armored to the shit and carried maces and just slowly rolled through the enemy which was preceded by arrow volleys to break up the enemy formation. Lots of info out their about them.
Seeing as the thread is dying, time to Judea-post

>>62567488poor james. he did literally nothing wrong.
>>62574724thats gotta be a terrifying situation in so many ways. Small boat, nowhere to go, guaranteed to drown if you fall in the water wearing chainmaille.
>>62575433I think they fought close to beach
The Battle of Lekkerbeetje was a cavalry duel akin to the famous Combat of the Thirty. The cause for this duel was the boasting of a french cuirassier commander,Pierre de Bréauté, in service of the Dutch Republic, that his men were worth twice that of their counterparts in the service of Spain. A brabantine cuirassier commander, Gerard Abrahams - known as "Lekkerbekje" (meaning sweet tooth), in spanish service heard of this claim and challenged de Bréauté to a duel with equal numbers. Each side fieled 22 men, including their commanders, and met on the choosen field: Abrahams was the first casulty, being shot through the neck during the initial charge. De Bréauté in return was captured after being wounded and having his horse shot from under him. He was killed as an act of revange for the death of Abrahams (an act that was controversial at that time).The duel/skirmish achieved nothing in the grand scheme of things - the cuirassiers in dutch service suffered 14 losses, while the cuirassiers in spanish service suffered only 5 casulties.

>>62575811>Die for our retard commanders boast? Sure why not...What were they thinking
>>62553805Pretty much like tanks in WWI
>>62578022Honor and how other nobles see you was forced into their brains since childhood
Even 80 years ago many young men enlisted to war because they didn't wanted to be pointed as cowards.
>>62578022>What were they thinking"I'm sure, I'll survive"
>>62567488Glad we eventually decimated these filthy cannibal savages.
>>62575433You can swim in chain mail; Varg Vikerness, the black metal artist and murderer, made a funny video a few years back of him swimming about in a lake wearing armor. The original video was taken down when his channel was removed, but you can see him swimming in this video at 25 seconds.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcyH53zVaIEGranted the extra weight, exhaustion from battle, and enemies still on ships picking off survivors probably made it near impossible to reach shore alive.
What are some must have books from Osprey publishing? (Its for me and my son)
>>62582193Check out the OP of the /hwg/ thread on /tg/. It has links to a lot of the Ospreys. Can see what you like there, and then order hard copies of the ones you want.>>>/tg/93948330
>>62575811>Combat of the Thirty.There is also this one>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge_of_BarlettaThe legend says that part of the dispute was one wine (not reported here in the English version).
