Thank you all!

How will these stack up with Warlord Games plastics? They would be a lovely addition to some of the Pike & Musket stuff.

Hi Jet,

they should mix very well :) The plastic minaitures will have the same size as our metal miniatures :)

Michael Anderson sent a new picture! The first Landsknecht for our upcoming plastic set is almost finished! The hair, beard, hat and some other details are still a bit WIP I hope that I can show more pictures tomorrow!

Please note: you can achieve different and more aggresive pike-block looking poses by attaching the arms in a way that the pike is lowered in a different degree and you can also rotate the head so he will face the pike's head and towards the enemy.

that's great! Will the hat be separated from the head? They did so in the WG ECW, and that was a great move! :)

Thanks! The hat will be on the heads as I do not want too many parts that have to be glued on. Please note that the head and the arms are already seperate so you have at least 3 parts to glue together. If all goes well and we have the space, we will have some heads with helmets or bonnets/caps and some spare hats that you can glue on the heads without hats but caps (oooh, this gives me an headache!).

aww, that's such a pity! One of the major uses of the plastic sprues is using them as bit-boxes, but if there aren't much parts we will be all bound to the "vanilla" version, and modding won't be so easy! :(

still awesome btw ;)

Well personally, I don't like separate hats as they never sit on the head properly, so I'm glad you've gone for built-in hats  :)

He looks absolutely great by the way  :-*

Can't wait.

Looking good!

Looking forward to the armoured heads, there's not too many to choose from out there; I'd like to see some early burgonet variants, I think I've only seen one in the old Foundry Landsknechts yet they're fairly well represented in paintings and woodcuts.

He looks brilliant. I agree about the separate hats, much better that it's all in one piece, separate never looks right. Based on this one pic I'll definatley be buying some!

Thank you guys! Michael has finished the first sculpt now - what a character!

@Stuart: Definetly! There will be some in "Sturmhaube"/ burgonet! Some with the ribbed head part, some with the actual three-piece design!

Fantastic sculpt.  Really captures the look and spirit of the period.

I have to agree about the hats, although in theory I like the idea of seperate headgear , reality is that the fit never looks quite right. That first figure is great, look forward to more.

My only minor comment is that it uses the stylised look GW has for their feathers, which I'm not very fond of. I would rather see something more traditional, in keeping with your metal models.

I am really loving the design of these, and I think the look splendid (GW inspired feathers or not). I am really looking forward to the release of these I must say, there boxes for me!
