Anglo-Scottish Pikeman and Halberdiers for 15th and 16th Century Armies
The 15th and 16th centuries were turbulent times for the British Isles, marked by ongoing conflicts, territorial disputes, and evolving military tactics. The Anglo-Scottish wars, including notable battles such as Flodden (1513) and Solway Moss (1542), were defining moments where pikemen and halberdiers were often at the forefront. These infantrymen were armed with long pikes or halberds and were crucial in both offensive and defensive formations.
Pikemen would form the infamous 'Schiltron,' a circular or square formation bristling with pikes, offering a formidable defense against cavalry. Halberdiers, on the other hand, were often used to break enemy lines and combat heavily armored soldiers. They also served as bodyguards for nobles and officers on the battlefield. Their halberds—a weapon combining an axe blade for chopping, a point for thrusting, and a hook for pulling—were versatile and deadly.
Our Pikeman and Halberdier miniatures are sculpted by Erramir Orlans of Peculiar Companions and come in six variations, both supported and unsupported. Printed at 100% resolution they will be true 28mm. Printing at 110% will make them compatible with most Warhammer Fantasy miniatures and 115% will yield a 32mm miniature.
