I am continuing my work on the Renaissance armies.
These two bases (done for Impetus) are generic Italian troops. The shot are Foundry and the Crossbow are Old Glory. When you consider the price of the Old Glory figures with the benefit of their Amy Card, this range is extra good.
With any luck these figures will make their debut at the Cancon weekend next weekend in Canberra.
Don't have too much time as I have 34 Landschnechts and a some extras to get done for next weekend as well - it will be a push.
From Curt:
Lovely work Richard! I really like the motley assortment of colours and poses you've put together here and can appreciate the work that goes into creating units like these. I find doing a set uniform pattern much easier than having to make each figure unique.
Great job and best of luck in your upcoming gaming convention in Canberra (I look forward to seeing your upcoming Landschnechts)!
Very well done! They look suitably colourful while not beeing too flashy.
ReplyDeleteThey look Fab. They really do. A little surprised to see some purple as it is one of the hardest colours to dye before the 19th Century. But they all really do look good.
ReplyDeleteOld Glory produce some very characterful miniatures and these are the very proof of that, your painting has truly done them proud, very nice!
ReplyDeleteLovely work Richard :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great, love the mixed look you have got from them

That's a great looking unit, full of character!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Good luck at Cancon. That's one great get together.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on these shooty chaps, Richard!
ReplyDeleteWhat's knechts? Landsknechts!
; )
Looking forward to seeing them before too long!
Very colorful and I like the mix of gear, great job on these fellows!
ReplyDeleteI like the palettes you chose for each figure. The blue paired with yellow and red is very effective. You've made them individuals but have used colour to unify them as a unit.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Love all the mixed colours, a great looking unit.
ReplyDelete.I love the choice of colours - seems like Italians are sharp-dressed men no matter what the century. I hope they do well at Cancon and don't suffer the customary curses of most newly painted units.
ReplyDeleteThese are simply lovely, the choice of colours is excellent :)
ReplyDeleteNice brushwork Richard. Colourful without being over the top.
ReplyDeleteThere's a real art to mixing varied colors in a unit while still lending it some coherency. Well done!
ReplyDeleteFantastic painting work; they are really brilliant.
ReplyDeleteReally nice - another period I would love to try one day.
