Livonian Order (Latin: Fratres militiae Christi de Livonia, German: Brüder der Ritterschaft Christi von Livland) also known as Livonian Knights, Livonian Order, Knights of Christ, Livonia Order - German knightly order in Livonia (present-day Latvia and Estonia), founded under the Templar rule in Riga by the Cistercian abbot Theodoric in 1202. After a heavy defeat by the Lithuanian Balts near Szawle in 1236, in which, among others, the Grand Master of the Volquin was killed, the Livonian Order united with the Teutonic Order in 1237, adopting its rules. However, they retained considerable autonomy, which is why I placed the symbol of the Livonian Order on the shield. ”In the spring of 1287, the Livonian commanders who came here on the occasion of the national chapter gathered in Riga. During it, Master Willekin received information about the Samogitian-Semgallian invasion on the Dvina in the Ikeskola area. Willekin gathered a force of five hundred warriors, consisting of brothers, pilgrims, townspeople and the subordinate tribes of Letts and Liws. Three days later, on March 26, 1287, there was a meeting between the forces commanded by the master and the 1,200-strong Samogitian-Semgallian unit. The meeting place was named de Warterberge Grose. The Germans were surprised by the invaders as they made their way through the dense forest, allowing the Samogitians and Semgalls to dictate the terms of the battle. The author of the Chronicle of Livonia described how a brother named Berthold called his companions to gather at the banner. The townspeople were to do the same. The pagans first defeated the auxiliary units of the Teutonic army (infantry), then the brothers were defeated. The losses suffered by the Teutonic Knights were large. Master Willekin and over thirty brothers remained on the battlefield. Parts of the Teutonic unit managed to break out of the encirclement.”* *Wikipedia M-model from many years ago. The figure has poorly fitted and detailed details. All the rest of the mistakes are my fault Regards Piotr

Thank you Ian I painted Vallejo Ghost Gray as the basic color on the Vallejo primer. Then I painted the shadows and highlights. Unfortunately, it's hard to see in the photo taken with a phone

Crosses, lots of black crosses The work is progressing slowly

Very nice work, dynamic pose and inventive motif on the shield. Did you serve in the USMC?

Little progress at work. As you know, white is not easy to paint Regards Piotr

Great job!

A great model and an interesting, although sad, story

Infland Master of the Teutonic Order Willekin, battle of de Warterberge Grose March 26, 1287. M-Model 54mm This is one of the first M-Model figures, and it shows. It is very simple and rather poorly carved in places. The horse's head, in my opinion, needed some corrections I will also try to give the knight himself some movement despite his static position Greetings Piotr

Fantastic job. It has an air of authenticity

Well done! Świetna robota!
