Mongols, 13th–14th Century

Revisión de las figuras ZVEZDA en escala 1:72

The diorama shows Mongols in combat with Russian knights and infantry. Both figure sets were sculpted by designers of the Russian firm ZVEZDA, but the knights are distributed under the Italeri Historics label. These figuras are useful for wargamers interested in raising a late 13th century Mongol army under Timur Leng (Tamerlane). To increase the variety of poses, the ZVEZDA Mongols may be mixed with suitable figuras from Italeri’s Golden Horde.

Evaluación

• Good choice of subject, the Mongols under Tamerlane are an interesting troop type war wargamers.
• Good detail. Facial features, scaled armour, padded jackets, helmets, belts, straps, pouches, buttons, weapons, shields, and horse furniture are nicely sculpted.
• Excellent poses, these figuras appear realistic and they are very compatible with eachother. The standing horses are sculpted correctly, only the galloping horses are in an incorrect gait.
• The ratio of cavalry, light cavalry, spearman, and light infantry is about right to represent a typical Mongol army of the age of Tamerlane. Only two boxes of these figuras are needed to raise a DBA army.

Empleo Histórico

• DBA Army No. 159b – Mongols under Timur Leng, 1336–1405

Posibles Conversiones

• The variety of poses may be increased by swapping heads among the figures.

The ZVEZDA figuras are a welcome addition to the growing range of medieval wargame figuras in this scale. Two boxes of these figuras are enough to build DBA army No. 159b.
