This kit includes:  12 Teutonic Knights on foot with Faussart All models are supplied both Pre-Supported and Unsupported in 28mm scale STLs and LYS files. - The Faussart is a long-bladed, two-handed weapon, sometimes referred to as a warbrand (by modern reproduction manufacturers). It is essentially an elongated arming sword without crossguard. Though scant when it comes to both literary and iconographic references, the Faussart was possibly used by both cavalry and infantry. It is usually illustrated wielded by cavalry, usually of the knightly class, indicating it as a high-end weapon in contemporary sources. The weapon probably relates to the agricultural tool for grass cutting, the scythe. The Maciejowski Bible (Morgan Bible) depicts an example of a two-handed Faussart used by a mounted knight.
