Jaeckel and the Lost Crusade - Month IV (201 points)

Even if doomed and meant to be lost in the sands of Araby, my pilgrim army needed some shooters: April will be the black powder's month! 

First, my favorite unit: 5 Marauder Miniatures MM65 flagellants and one Citadel fanatic converted into Sandsjaeger (the equivalent of bergsjaegers, with handguns instead of long bows). The original idea comes from this illustration, showing Gerontius, the Blind Priest, armed with a gigantic black powder weapon:

For those who know the original miniatures, I've simply replaced the flails and clubs by bits from various boxes (flagellants, free company and handgunners).

And the wild bunch of crazy hermits:

For the second regiment, I should have stuck to the original plan, and paint the beggars following Pieter the Pious. Instead, I've bought a nice (but unfortunately oversized) cannon produced by Lead Adventures miniatures for the Bruegelburg range, and re-used some medieval oldies for the crew (you can still find them on Wargames Foundry website).

Hugh, Godfrey and Wart are respectively the loader, gunner and crewman of the Citadel C22 imperial cannon. They look really small compared to the bell converted into a mortar, thanks to the ingenuity of the bombardier-monk (the Philosopher designed by Aly Morrison for Talisman).

The whole team around the warmachine:

To conclude this fourth month, we have:
- 6 Sandsjaeger (count as Bergjaeger) with standard bearer: 7 x 13 = 91 points
- 1 cannon and the 3-man crew: 60 points
- 1 Level 5 bombardier: 50 points
- TOTAL: 201 points

See you in May!
