We previewed this remarkable miniature recently and have been inundated with request for a release date. Rather than accede to those requests we’ve decided to release him early – think of it as another small Christmas gift! Take a look at Tilly here…
Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly, commanded the Imperial forces during the Thirty Years War. He had a string on important victories against the Protestants but was then defeated by forces led by the King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. Along with Albrecht von Wallenstein he was one of two chief commanders of the Holy Roman Empire’s forces.
A great general he met his end after being hit by a cannonball at the Battle of Rain against the Swedish forces. Gustavus sent his own personal physician to tend to his wounds leading Tilly to tell him “Your king is truly a noble knight”. Sadly Tilly was to die of tetanus from his wound fifteen days later.
This excellent model is now ready for release, head to the webstore to get yours!
