an arm band. The set consists of 46 figures in 23 poses.

Orion
is glad to present you a set of ORI
72013 Ukrainian Foot Cossaks and Artillery. Ukrainian lands happened
to be the centerpoint of war actions in Eastern Europe of the 17th century.
Armies of Poles, Russians, Tartars, and Turks were fighting for domination
in the area. Cossaks, the professional life-time military men, known for personal
courage and sometimes for low discipline, were probably the most famous part
of Ukrainian forces. In the course of war the self-governed Cossack regiments
have joined all the engaged powers. Orion set consists of 34 foot figures
in 17 poses, including an Orthodox Christian priest and 2 camping figures,
and 2 cannons.

We are glad to present you a new set from our friends at DDS - Landsknechts
part 2: Pikemen (16-17th century). A new addition to the Renaissance range,
this set brings 24 figures in 8 basic poses, completed with sprues with separate
hats and long pikes. Most of the figures also have separate hands to hold
pikes at different angles and in different positions, and thus require some
qlue.
