So unexpected and striking, compared to the usual gaudy array of landsknechts. Brilliant concept.

I agree- I love the flat blackened armour.

Post by: pbjunky1 on July 06, 2018, 05:38:20 PM: I do like that slightly later period blackened armour and plunderhosen appearance. You've captured the effect really well.
What sort of size are they, true 28mm or larger 30mm variants? They look quite big.

Post by: Dags on July 06, 2018, 05:41:59 PM: Cheers, all 8)

@pbjunky - 28s

@LT - you should have seen it last week; found a Japanese Sniper, a small heard of sheep, Flight 19 and a doubledecker bus in there :'(

Post by: Iowa Grognard on July 12, 2018, 03:15:55 PM: Outstanding group of figures. :o
Title: Re: TAG Landsknechts
Post by: Unlucky General on July 12, 2018, 11:00:55 PM: They look formidable and well capable of stopping the heaviest of cavalry. Well grouped also. I have a bit of a thing about basing figures closer together for regulars and I see so many armies based to particular rule conventions which are too spaced out for my eye. The pike men look just right.

Post by: Dags on July 12, 2018, 11:10:21 PM: Thanks 8)

They're all on a single base - 240mm x 120mm, 56 minis in total with 32 in the pike block

Pkeman on far right: "Awfully sorry to bother you, old chap, but could you adjust your katzbalger, as it's interfering with my hosenbeutel?"

At this scale, I always think you need at least three ranks to do a pike block justice. Splendid.

Post by: Charlie_ on July 16, 2018, 09:22:14 PM: Fantastic!

I'd really love to see a whole army, or a whole game with every unit painted and based like that - must look incredible. Can we look forward to that?

These are just fantastic. Great work: painting, composition, and basing.
