From Richard M - 28mm Landschnechts, Italian Infantry and Command (225 Points)

You will have to excuse the poor quality of the photos - I will post better ones in a few days once I return to Sydney.  These have been taken on the iPad sitting in a hotel room in Canberra as I pack up to go to the first morning og Cancon where these new figures will make their debut.  (Postcript - not only is taking photos not so good - but posting to Blogger from an iPad is an exercise in patience).


In addition to my last post, these are fruits of my labour over the past three weeks as I added to the existing Italian troop types so I could field a Papal army in the Impetus system.

So first up are the kings of the field in those days - two pike of Landschnecht pikes.  The figures are Foundry and the pikes are - well sharp.  I have the painting list sitting beside me (on the back of the army list as it was handy at the time)- it shows a combination of 16 colours in deep, mid and highlight for their fabric alone - plus all the rest.




Next up is a unit of Italan infantry - these ones are Old Glory figures and look suitably determined.



Finally a few shots of the two units of command.  The guy with the big round red headress is Perry and the other three from the Perry Knights range.

Finally flags on all of these are from Pete's Flags who you can find on the ...bay.





So this is 34 foot and 4 mounted - so I think the total is 220. 


From Curt:

Oh wow, these lads turned out fabulous Richard! That Landschnecht pike block looks fantastic with its serried ranks of pikes, puff and slash uniforms and bravely fluttering banners. Epic stuff!

The command stands are brilliant as well - I love the guy with the feathered pizza on his head. He MUST be a high-ranking officer with that lid!

I hope you have a great time in Cancon! Let us know how it all worked out.
