Take Command With V&V Miniatures’ Mounted Crusaders

June 16, 2020 by brennon

V&V Miniatures has added another set into the mix for you folks playing out their games set during the Crusades. The Mounted Crusaders Command is getting ready to lead their warriors into battle on the tabletop.

Mounted Crusaders Command Head Option #1

The set comes with three warriors that work as bodyguards and retainers, one of which is carrying his lord's banner. The leader of this particular release also comes with an alternative head option which you'll see below as well as a different choice of weapon. Above you can see the cruel flanged mace...

Mounted Crusaders Command Head Option #2

...but he can also be armed with an axe too. I think I prefer the look of the second helmet without the 'horns' poking from the top. Both weapons are held out as if they are readying the troops for a charge forward into the enemy.

You could paint these fellows up in the typical white and red of the Templars but I think that it would be cool to design them wearing different armour from all over the place. I like the idea that the Crusades brought together a melting pot of kingdoms from across Europe under that one uniting cause, however misguided it was.

Are you going to be picking these up?
