Cavalieri e Gens d’Armes Burgundian del Secolo XV

Recensione dei Figurini MiniArt in Scala 1:72

The artwork sulla copertina della scatola shows Louis de Châlons, seigneur de Château-Guyon, leading the Burgundian charge against Swiss fanteria at the Battle of Morat (Murten), 22 giugno 1476. Louis de Châlons, Knight of the Golden Fleece, was killed at the battle.

These cavalieri Burgundian are excellent value for anyone interested in building a Burgundian army for De Bellis Antiquitatis (dba). There are 20 cavalieri a cavallo in the box, 18 of which are needed to raise the six mounted elements of an Early Burgundian army (No. 173) for dba. The later Burgundian Ordonnance army (No. 180) requires only quattro of these elements. Spare soldatini may be painted to represent cavalieri francesi o tedechi of other late medieval armies.

Valutazione

• Excellent choice of subject, the cavalieri Burgundian are unique in this scale.
• Suitable wargame poses. There are enough cavalieri e gens d’armes in questa scatola to build all six mounted knight (Kn) elements of an Early Burgundian DBA Esercito 173. The later Burgundian Ordonnance army requires only quattro of the same (Kn) elements.
• Armour plate, elmi, horse barding, ed altri oggetti dell’equipaggiamento personale are historically accurate e nicely detailed.
• The soldatini are easy to convert, because there are no heraldic emblems superimposed on the riders o horses.
• Compatibile con HäT Industrie, Italeri, Revell, e Zvezda.

• Significant flash along mould lines needs to be removed prudentamente prima di dipingere.
• The quattro separate lances in this set are too short, they should measure 50 mm. Replace them con lances made from piano wire.
• The horses’ foreheads e noses are unnaturally thin e pointed when viewed from the front. Real horses have a wide e flat forehead.
• Quattro of the cinque horse poses are sculpted in an unnatural gait. One wonders why figure sculptors do not study horses more, ed allow themselves be inspired by the superb horse poses of several Revell cavalleria sets. The horses sulla copertina della scatola, however, are posed correctly.

Utilizzo Storico

• DBA Esercito 173 – Early Burgundian (6x3 Kn)
• DBA Esercito 180 - Burgundian Ordonnance (4x3 Kn)
