Peasant levies were a common feature of Medieval armies. They were made up of untrained, inexperienced peasants. Peasant levies were often called upon during times of war or crisis. They were usually drafted into the army by their local lord or monarch.
Peasant levies were particularly effective when fighting on their own terrain. For example, they were often used as archers or skirmishers in battles fought in hilly or forested areas. Peasant levies were also sometimes used to defend castles or other fortified positions.
In these situations, they could provide a valuable source of manpower for the garrison.
Peasant levies were often armed with makeshift weapons such as pitchforks or clubs. Their lack of training and equipment made them less effective in battle than professional soldiers. However, peasant levies could provide a large number of troops quickly and at a low cost.
The use of peasant levies was particularly common in the early Middle Ages. As feudalism developed, the role of peasant levies in armies declined. This was due to the increasing professionalization of armies and the rise of the knightly class.
Nevertheless, peasant levies continued to be used in some parts of Europe throughout the Middle Ages. In some cases, they were incorporated into larger professional armies. In other cases, they were used as a last resort when other troops were not available.
Peasant Levies were often poorly treated by their commanders and fellow soldiers. They were sometimes seen as inferior or disposable. Despite this, some peasant levies fought bravely and made significant contributions to their armies.
The use of peasant levies could also have political implications. Drafting peasants into the army could be seen as a way for lords or monarchs to demonstrate their power. It could also help to reinforce social hierarchies by emphasizing the subordinate status of peasants.
The role of peasant levies in Medieval armies was not uniform across Europe. Different regions and kingdoms had their own traditions and practices. Some areas relied heavily on peasant levies, while others used them only sparingly.
The availability of other types of troops, such as mercenaries or knights, also played a role. The use of peasant levies declined as firearms became more widespread in the late Middle Ages. Firearms required specialized training and equipment, which peasants were unlikely to possess. As a result, peasant levies gradually disappeared from European armies by the end of the Middle Ages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Return policy?
We apply, the satisfied or refunded. So we do not accept returns. If there is a problem with the order we will resend or refund you, it's easier.
Production time?
In general, articles are produced in series to have stock available and to send orders within 2 to 3 days. However, some items with less sales may take 1 week. It is therefore better to allow one week on average for shipping. Do not hesitate to contact us if your order is urgent, for example for a work commission.
Lost packages?
It sometimes happens that the package is lost, damaged or amputated by the carrier. In these cases we will offer you either a reshipment or a refund.
PLA or Resin?
We mostly use SUNLU PLA+, and good quality resin (arround 50$/L). The FDM printed PLA is printed at 0.2mm / layer (usually 0.1 for high quality) and is cheaper than Resin (0.05mm/layer). We strongly advise you to choose Resin printed article to get the best quality on small details. But in most case PLA gives a good enough tabletop experience.
Resin miniatures quality?
The evolution of technology has made possible to have a quality that is far superior to failcasting, although still inferior to last generation plastic injection.
The miniatures that we print are full to avoid all the problems that could cause non-solidified resin inside.
We try to harden the miniatures enough but not too hard to keep them easy to rework / customize. We remove the vast majority of supports, but a small part may remain, especially on small, very thin parts.
Our pricing policy does not allow us to have perfect quality control, so we prefer to add a little content to compensate in case of problem on a miniature. However do not hesitate to contact us in case, we will resend the damaged miniatures as soon as possible.
Resin miniatures treatment?
Once you have received your figurines run them in hot water and trim them before exposing them to the sun for a few minutes. Usually these steps are optional but they only take a few minutes. If some parts are slightly bent, run them in hot water and you can straighten them easily.
Then make sure you have a very strong glue to assemble them, or use milliput/greenstuff in addition at the intersections. The best glue is GW's. Unlike plastic, the parts must be tightened very hard for at least 20 seconds. The best method is to use a thin layer of greenstuff at the intersections; the green stuff sticks well to the resin and sticks well so it solves the problem.
Customization?
We're happy to consider customization requests, and some of our products are designed with customization in mind. However, due to time constraints, we're unable to take on modeling requests for strictly personal projects at the moment.
Team and synergy?
As the project grows, the team widens and specializes. Everyone remains very free and brings their specific know-how. We would prefer to share the profits if we can provide you with better service in return. And we still have a lot of projects in the pipeline, which will require new skills.
Current collaborations?
At the moment, we're collaborating with several YouTubers from France who generously provide us with feedback and expose us to their audience. In the upcoming months, we're planning to expand our services to other wargame channels that speak English. Specifically, our game accessories can significantly improve the readability of online battle reports. Moreover, we aim to collaborate with other 3D modeling artists. If you possess the necessary skills and are interested in contributing to the growth of the Damocles world, or if you're considering starting a YouTube channel and would like a free set to begin with, please don't hesitate to contact us.
