After the Desert Yellow drabness of the Tank project this year it was essential to keep something colourful on the side lines just to keep the excitement up and as it turns out a side track from the horrors of #flakegate.
There are just 16 figures here, all 28mm and all Wargames Foundry, a bit small for a Pike Block I hear you say and quite right you are. These have been sat around for a few months waiting for paint to finish up a much larger unit and as a little side project when not doing the tanks it's worked nicely.
Points wise 16 x 5 for the figures and a Brucie Bonus of 1 for the flag should give me 81 points.
So here is my two new bases with the other two which make up Team Blue in my Landsknecht block. Whilst below is the entire unit 96 figures strong.
Next up on the side table are a unit of Papal Gendarme whilst this week's Tanks are two colours done on the Caunter, hope to have a Challenge Entry Figure done soon too. Regards Ken
The prospect of painting Landsknechts fills me with terror. You have done a great job on these, that nice balance of rock hard and camp.

Lovely looking unit (or partial unit) Ken. Looking forward to what's on your workbench too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter, a lot smaller output this year sadly.
DeleteThese look beautiful Ken! Great work!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, always a really good feeling to slot that last base into a big unit.
DeleteTremendous work Ken, looks really impressive.
ReplyDeleteAnd I expect the break from #flakegate was worth it! :)
Many thanks Greg, it definately was 😃
DeleteNice landsknechts Ken :)

Many thanks Iain, definitely worth it when they are together 👍
DeleteVery nice! Just be careful leaning down over them to check line of sight.....
ReplyDeleteI have lost pints of blood over the years 🤣
DeleteThey look absolutely smashing!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks 👍
DeleteBeautiful work Ken!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray 👍
DeleteFantastic work!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks 👍
DeleteKen, your Landsknechts never cease to amaze. And your backgrounds are always terrific, whatever the period; some lovely terrain and scenic work there. You played a blinder, lad!
ReplyDeleteCheers Evan, the background is a bit of a cheat on this one as I needed some big houses to block out the Crusades game in the background ! Hence the sand 😁
DeleteYou brave, brave man! So many perfectly painted landsknechts, brilliant colourscheme as well BTW!
ReplyDeleteCheers Sander, thankfully it was only 16 😁
DeleteI've always had a soft spot for all those large blocks of pikemen and they do look great.
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff, Ken.
