Seventeenth-century infantry combined pikes and muskets in formations whose success depended on coordinated drill. Commanders, gunners and cavalry added movement and complexity to the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo Standing Pikemen is defined in part by its standing position. That gives the figure a specific purpose when combined with soldiers in complementary poses, helping create a formation with natural variety and a clear direction of action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subject adds an individual point of interest to its historical or fictional setting. A carefully placed character gives the viewer someone through whom to imagine the wider story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider setting the piece in an English Civil War firing line, cavalry field or encampment. A coherent background is often the difference between an attractive miniature and a memorable historical vignette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt can be presented independently as a portrait or integrated with related figures. A simple and consistent setting often makes the character more compelling than a crowded background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollectors can build outward from this piece with pikemen, musketeers, gunners and cavalry, letting each addition contribute a different aspect of the setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the subject appealing is the changing tactics and identities of Civil War armies. These smaller details often hold the viewer’s attention as much as a prominent centrepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is equally suitable as a stand-alone subject or as one part of a carefully arranged story from the same range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available from The Military Workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King \u0026 Country","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419528192282,"sku":"PnM-S03","price":137.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0154\/0890\/files\/PnM-S03.jpg?v=1794305770","url":"https:\/\/themilitaryworkshop.com\/products\/pnm-s03","provider":"The Military Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
