Bulking out Polish Renaissance?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

What ho denizens of the forum!

Having just purchased Nik's Poles, I was wondering if the Hive Mind could help?
Bulking up some of Nik's units for FogR, I need pikes and reiters.
Looking at 1630's, so would ECW pikes and Currasiers work?

Ohh...
Anyone got any photos of Great Northern War Sweedish Cavalry and/or Pikes?

There was an enormous trade in arms across Europe at the time. Almost anything from Edinburgh to Istanbul could be found in a Polish army.

ECW cavalry in floppy hats would serve as reiters, ECW pikes/shotte in hats and morions are also useful. Off the top of my head I can't remember if the lobster helmet was an ECW invention, if not then they would do an'all.

Thanks chaps.

Also have a look at the LoA figures - they have some very nice cuirassiers which might work for you cav, I know they are 60 years later, but they might fit, and they are very nice (although I may have mentioned that already!)

I do also like the basic premise, that having just bought some figures, you immediately need to buy some more, excellent

You might want to check heft and height against your other figures though. Maybe a bit late for the 1630s. Ok for the Siege of Vienna though  .

I'd just go for the ECW figures, even mixing in some Scots.

They may be responsible for the introduction of the bagpipes to Poland  :-
