(Above: these are the 'Swiss' or 'Italian' figures by Old Glory, plus a few Perry figs mixed in. I did not paint them in a 'Swiss' style, i.e. the white-and-red livery of Berne because I didn't want them to be exclusively Swiss. I have some unpainted Perry plastics and metals that I might do in the Berne livery later)

(Above: the landsknechts. I am doubtful that the infamous doppelsoldners actually fought as separate units, but they're different-looking and fun to have on the table so there you go!)

(Above: I'll admit I had my moments of doubt with my color palette selection, but I am satisfied with the end result. These are all Old Glory except the command and some of the arquebusiers)

(Above: Landsknechts. I'm doubtful that there were very many full-on landsknechts, slashed sleeves and all, at Fornovo in 1495 (nor were there that many arquebusiers), but for this scenario they'll be there in force)

(That's a Perry Italian commander. Mounted command for the Italian Wars are hard to come by)


Next up is 60 heavy cavalry (which will break out into 12 units of 6 figs each) and 12 stradiot cavalry, plus some more commanders.
Looking good Spencer - love the colours.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, I loook forward to seeing the cavalry.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Oli! I look forward to seeing the cavalry too (glares at 72 unpainted, partially primed figures)!
DeleteSo far I am really enjoying decimating this particular lead mountain, although the temptation to paint "something else" is very very strong...
