Hi guys, here are the changes I was talking about yesterday: since the riders looked a bit too rus, I decided to switch the noseguard for the baltic visor.
I think this way their baltic origin is clearer and there's less ground for misinterpretation, since I plan on also making kievan rus warriors in the coming future.<...

Hi everyone, the January release is finally here, and it focuses on a highly requested unit: 13th century Teutonic Knights on foot with winged greathelms and two handed weapons.
