- This is my 15 mm miniature representation of the armies of Hungary over almost a 200 year period. Period. The forces assembled our knights, peasants, footman, artillery all from the vast nations that made up the Hungarian Empire. The figures are from five different manufacturers, all put together and assembled into a cohesive army hand painted by myself some conversions to create more of a Hungarian shield pattern but I think that the overall effect looks good. Again, this is a 15 mm Hungarian army of the 13 to 1500s.

I don't know if I'm even supposed to ask this, but how do you even have the time and money for all these great armies? I mean you have more armies than I can remember and every one of them is large and painted with great detail. 😅
@@sirkaapo2178 you absolutely can ask. I have been collecting from many many years and I love painting and building. Right now I’m working on the American revolutionary war armies. And I always have a plan and I stay very focused. Sometimes I buy ugly armies so that I get the lead cheap and then I repaint them make them my own sometimes I start from scratch. I don’t know. I seem to be very efficient at painting and I still work full-time have a family, cook garden writing a book and sleep and have fun and still have time for my friends to come over play games and kick my butt. I don’t win very much.😂😂
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 Just think how many miniatures would be on display if when you started collecting you also had a 3d printer printing 15mm :) Looks Great!
Beautiful army Kevin and love the historical background
@@MedievalWargamer it’s a beautiful army and one I haven’t pulled out for a long time. But I’m glad you got to see it. It’s a little bit different than always seeing French in English, right
They look superb, what a beautiful and colorful army...with nice unusual command stands! My favourites are the cavalry and the chariots, big like!!
Hi Phil yes they are pretty nice especially the knights from Mirlington.....i like those the most
Another stunning army kevin an absolute joy to look at thank you for sharing with us regards jay
hi Jay, thank you a lot...i was wanting to show this but forgot i had it :-)
Nagyon szép sereg! I agree that people should look into the wars in Central Europe of the late medieval period, the Hungarians had some bitter struggles with the Habsburgs over who would control the throne of the kingdom, not to mention the wars with the Ottomans and the Hussites where János Hunyadi first fought
@@Corvinuswargaming1444 well I hope you liked it. Put it up for you I did 🤗
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 It was great, beautiful army
Another amazing and beautiful army my friend!
@@michaelwedding9077 thanks my dear friend! It’s a beauty huh
Kevin, another showstopper, beautiful painting and always love the history.
Now we have to game this one as well😂👍
Thanks 👍
I very much enjoyed use of black lining to define shadows and emphasize the many different colors. Was it painted after the base colours or was it primer left purposely unpainted? Beautiful army Kevin! This one definitely stands out on the battlefield.
@@Felipe.Portugal the primer was purposely left underneath. I paint up to the creases where the black is and it forms natural line if I don’t get that, I do a wash.
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53I must try it on my next miniatures! Your brush control is very well honed.
Amusing that yesterday I purchased a copy of Hungarian Rhapsody from MMP games that deals with the Hungarian campaign from October 1944 -February 1944. Really nice looking miniatures Kev! Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages is a fascinating subject. I am big into the age of musketry but for some reason really struggle to paint it and I am unsure why that is. Think I should try my hand at some other periods other than age of musketry and ww2. Would love to see more of your Dark Ages and Middle Ages armies! Really like those scratch built wagons! What did you use to make them?
@@nordicmaelstrom4714 hello my dear friend. I have put up a lot of dark ages and medieval armies into my playlist. I think there’s enough there to take you through to the weekend. I think you would find painting dark ages very simple. Just think of Viking Warriors as tanks and you’ll be fine. I put this army up yesterday because one of my viewers was really interested in the Hungarian Ottoman wars. I had to put up earlier on Ottoman not the other half. I have a lot of hundred year war armies on my playlist and I think Renaissance. I think I have a medieval German army that I posted. And English and French for sure. I’ll try maybe over the next days to put up some other eastern armies Russian, etc.
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 I think I would enjoy painting the Dark Ages and Middle Ages because of the heraldry and shields. My biggest problem is motivation and staying motivated. That seems to be my bane when it comes to miniatures. The Ottoman Empire is an interesting period. Eastern European armies of the period are seldom seen at least in my experience. Would love to see your troops!
Always impressed by your armies. Have you ever done the Teutonic Knights and their adversaries (Poles and Russians)? Would love to see your take on them and how your sources your miniatures
@@jonasskinner5536 hi
Yes, I have done the Teutonic knights, Polish and Russian Armies. I have two Polish armies. One I put up but it’s much more Renaissance oriented. I also did Hussites.
But you are right I have not done a video on the rest of my medieval armies so I thought based on other comments I received that I should go ahead and just put those up for people to enjoy. I believe on those armies they’re all from Burlington, which I find quite good with some old Essex mixed in . At the time that I did them those were the only figures outside of glory that were available that I thought were nice to the old glory medieval and ancient figures. Today there are other options like Khurasan which has nice ones and so does , blue moon. All really nice. I might go back and fill in some gaps that weren’t available during those early years.
Very nice! What (rules system) do you play with these? :)
@@ElakaTiraken well right now I’ve been using hail Caesar. Sometimes I pull out my old rules of arm Addi or tactical, depending on how I feel and I’ve also dabbled with impetus. But as I’m getting older, having a simple rules that I don’t have to learn is important. But I hope you like the army, it’s really quite beautiful. I forgot how nice it looked until I pulled it out.
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 indeed! Thanks for your answer, and of course - the showcase!
Wow nice army - please excuse my ignorance but would it also be same as the Hungarian black army ? Saw a quick documentary on TH-cam about it some time ago.
I got bags of troops a few years ago the headers were muddy and unreadable after painstakingly checking bags one by one found they were eastern later medieval and renaissance- you have given me some ideas same with cardboard shields- I have used cardboard for 15mm imperial Roman standards but not shields might be good for later samurai armies I’m planning for pavise.
Like armies with diverse ethnic groups great stuff- thanks Kevin. 🙏

@@koganinja100 yes this is also the black army. It can be used for early mid or late, but many of the units were designed for that. I could not find any suitable figures for Hungarian knights, so I may be conversions. The small little shields they carried I just cut them out of cardboard. Even the Pavises. As you can tell, I get very creative on my armies, but you noticed it very quickly. This is the black.
