H.R.E.N.28: Turnip Adventures of the 44th Good Root Disciples

Image
The Regiment of the 44th Good Root Disciples was formed partly because of the unfortunate demise of the 43rd regiment, and partly because of the Shooting Star that crossed the skies over Cist a long, long time ago (likely last March). After the star had appeared, myriad (around 12) cults argued what it really was, each coming up with their own interpretation.

On two of its wings, it depicts scenes from the life of Christ, and so it also has its share of armed men. Someone has to do the baby-killing and crucifying, after all.  For someone seeking references for late 15th century Pomeranian soldiers, the Polyptych is invaluable, even though it's more stylised than relatively realistic paintings of Gdańsk and Kołobrzeg. The altarpiece is from the very same Stargard from which hails one of the pavisemen I painted.  I haven't included the Polyptych in my earlier overviews of Perry kits as, even though the altarpiece is barely 10-20 years older than the Gdańsk's "Siege of Malbork", it depicts decidedly older-looking arms and armour, which you can't really find in the War of the Roses-era models.
