@Der Haupmann- Soldiers of the black army of king Mathias Corvinus...Excelent job, welcome to the forum...

Posted by **Emperor** on 03 Oct 2016, 09:17

Legend said it that king Mathias as a young boy found a raven with a ring in his beak...That is why he is called Corvinus...

Posted by **Der Hauptmann** on 04 Oct 2016, 17:01

This legend is about his father - John Hunyadi.

@Der Hauptman-Sorry it was a long time ago I was in Budapest when I heard about that story, so I guess I mixed some things...

Fantastic Sight! Well Painted and Based.

Thanks!
Yes, King Matthias put Vlad in prison in 1462.

There is a certain comic about Vlad Tepesh from Herman who draws Jeremiah,

I remember Vlad asked king Mathias for help in fighting Turks...Now maybe I am wrong about it (the comic),so can you tell us more about king Mathias, since I don't find Wikipedia good source...I always like to hear history from people whos history is it about and king Mathias is interesting historical figure... I heard his name so many time, but never heard entre story... :-D

@Emperor - You can get more information about King Mathias on my blog, especially in the second half of this post: http://tabletopcommander.blogspot.hu/20 ... oject.html

Nice post about Hunyadi...Can you tell me which figures in scale 1-72 can represent Hungarian army during 1526 and battle of Mohacs?

Posted by **Wheeling Turn** on 06 Oct 2016, 14:29

Great paintjob. I like the colorful lot....showe us more please

Posted by **Der Hauptmann** on 06 Oct 2016, 17:55

@Emperor - If you want to build a Hungarian army for the Mohács era in 1:72 most of the figures from Italian wars are good. Red Box has good sets for this period like landsknechts as German mercenaries in Hungarian servive or stradiot cavalry as early Hungarian hussars. The Hungarian noble heavy cavalry was the same as in Western Europe.

I had some plans, but some guy on YT was quicker...Anyway I was interested to hear from somebody from Hungary because I heard about battle, but never heard about the uniforms and units that participated in the battle...There is so many battles that I have plan in my head to build but so few information about uniform men in battle used...For example I had plan to make Monte Negro battle of Krusi, but problem are uniforme of those men...Which figures to use...Or the terrain...
