(btw dont take me too serious plz these words bout that battle are just for fun lol... i just find it too hillarious how -according to my overestimating prof- 40.000 knights got wacked by a bunch of farmers supported by some noble knights ;D)

I don't take it too seriously. It was long ago. But this prof is quite not right... From what I know (from polish wikipedia) about Grunwald\Tannenberg battle there was about 32000-38000 of german forces (21000 of knights on horses, 6000 on foot and altyrely, 5000 of farmers etc.). And polish army was from 34000 to 43000 and 2/3 of that was polish knights. The rest was Lithuania, Morawians, Czechs and few more. And most of them weren't knights (according to their light armours) but were highborns in their land. Polish forces weren't bunch of farmers.

I'll post some more photos of sabres.

mmh well well ok... then there were some knights :P the victory aint quite as impressive then tho ;)

i read bout i loong ago and then along came my history prof... 40k dead knights he said... tsts... how the heck do you get 40k knights? a knight needs a horse, armor and a piece of land... even if it were only 20k like wiki says i dunno... sounds highly exagerrated to me like most battle numbers in history... 40k normal soldiers i do accept as the battle raged between 3 villages and thus on quite some space but not 20k knights... mmh on the other hand it was the teutonic order that fought there and they were all some kind of knight... maybe they just counted any order soldier as knight... i dunno

 

lol enjoy ;) (im actually not quite happy with it :/... i had no side view of the guard and i bet its wrong somehow and since you wanted a polish hussar i think it has to be exact... checked swordforuminternational -which i can recommend anyone btw- and they distinquished the blades origins by just a few millimeters blade wide and such things lol... well i guess they would see mine is a fake ;D - getting the blank steel texture right was also to annoying for me now... maybe ill redo it later for the final jaysus blades 2.0 - overall its an ok blade i think, still an ok quality just not enough to satisfy me)
