Medieval Warrior Bishops

Recensione dei Figurini Valdemar/Rodion in Scala 1:72

Medieval warrior priest e bishops often accompanied cavalieri e fanti into battle, particularly during the crusades, e they personally led medieval armies to protect their worldly realms. Since it was forbidden to spill christian blood, some warrior bishops used blunt clubbing weapons like the mace to circumvent this prohibition. Valdemar Miniatures is the first manufacturer to cover this subject in detail, e they have done a good job at it. The mounted e dismounted bishops will be popular con dioramisti e giocatori wargame alike. The mix of separate weapons offers great variety in figure poses, although the soldatini’s hands require some work to actually hold these armi e shields.

Valutazione

Excellent choice of subject, warrior bishops are unique in this scale.
The soldatini may be included in any medieval army del XIII e XIV secolo.
Poly resin soldatini con crisply detailed weapons. Diorama builders may find these soldatini very interesting, but giocatori wargame must take care not to break the fragile resin weapons in the heat of a fight.
Compatibile con ESCI, Italeri, Revell, e Zvezda

The medieval horse included in this set is very small, e too fat to accomodate an armoured rider. The mounted bishop does not fit into his horse’s saddle properly. His robe would have to be trimmed prudentamente to seat him correctly. However, it may be better to place this warrior bishop on a more impressive horse taken from another set of medieval soldatini.
Hands need to be drilled open to accept the separate weapons included in this set.
The separate shields should be fitted con straps to attach to a figure’s arm.
There are no painting instructions included in the set, but the Valdemar Miniatures website shows a few pictures of painted warrior bishops which may be helpful.
Poly resin dust is harmful if inhaled o swallowed, which is why these soldatini should be cleaned e sanded out of doors. Undercoat, paint e varnish the soldatini to properly seal the resin.

The Medieval Bishops produced by Valdemar/Rodion Miniatures are a welcome addition to the growing range of 1:72 scale medieval miniatures. Giocatori Wargame may want to mount these relatively brittle poly resin soldatini on command stands alongside other medieval soldatini, in order to protect them from breakage.
