After weeks of painting, basing, and "clearing" boxes, it is finally time for the grand reveal. Today, I am proud to present the "family photos" of my Swedish force for "By Fire and Sword".
Building this army has been a rewarding journey, featuring a mix of miniatures from Wargamer.pl, Totentanz Miniatures, and Warlord Games (from their Epic Pike & Shotte range). Despite the different origins, they come together beautifully on the tabletop to form a cohesive and formidable force.
The complete Swedish Force arrayed on the Battlefield.
The centre consisting of the artillery and two regiments of infantry.
Right wing made of two regiments of Dragoons supportet by some Mercenary Reiters.
Left wing consisting of Dragoons and two regiments of (Armoured) Mercenary Reiters.
The Order of Battle:
- 1 Colonel & 1 Major (Command)
- 3 Units of Dragoons (Size S)
- 1 Unit of Mercenary Reiters (Size S)
- 2 Units of Mercenary Reiters (Size M)
- 1 Unit of Swedish National Infantry
- 1 Unit of Dragooned Musketeers
- 3 Artillery pieces
A little modeling detail regarding the two larger (Size M) regiments of Mercenary Reiters:
I have painted them in a way that allows for maximum flexibility. By simply swapping the front rank with the rear one, I can represent them as Armoured Mercenary Reiters.
This 'dual-use' approach was my way to cover different unit profiles in the army list without needing to paint entirely separate regiments.
With this roster, I am now fully equipped to field anything from a small Skirmish Force to a full-sized Task Force, including all tactical options provided by the rules.
Whether it's the thunder of the Reiters' charge or the steady fire of the National Infantry, the Swedish Crown is ready for "The Deluge"!
It’s a fantastic feeling to see my entire project arrayed for battle at least!
