Tribal Command (Early Germans)
Manufacture Product Number : EXP-60-GMS-03 The set contains 8 model soldiers plus 2 horse models comprising of 2 mounted and 2 foot chieftains, and 4 unarmoured warriors in tunic. The heads and arms are inter-changeable to permit permutation of various action postures. Various extra heads, arms and accessories are provided to allow for the assembly of officers, champions (axemen), standard-bearers and horn-blowers. |
| The standard bearer wears an animal head as is common among many ancient tribal people. This probably has superstitious significance or could simply be a mark of a ferocious warrior. We have chosen a wild boar head for this purpose. The unique shape of the horn comes from a few Victorian period art depicting Arminius at the Teutoburger Wald. It is probably the horn of an oxen or similar. The Germans are weak numerically in cavalry and the Suebian, at least, often supplement the ranks of its cavalry with runners who would run alongside the horsemen and join in the melee with the enemy. In rapid movement, these runners would hold on to the mane or tails of the horses to keep pace. |
