Pete Smith of Pete's Flags has just released the start of  French Wars of Religion range in 15 - closer to 18mm:

Look real nice. I wonder how they match up with Khurasan's later 16th century range?

Not something I am in the market for, but I like the look of those a lot.

I resemble this remark. Also, I discovered the Scots! Good to know :)

As I don't have any Khurasan I cannot say. Samples of the Landesknechts show them as nearer 18mm and "chunky" in detail; imagine if you will Mike's Models but anatomically correct, but with the same undercut detail.

That describes these perfectly and was my first thought when I saw your picture. They are great.

I have thousands of painted MM Renaissance but would certainly add some units of later, lesser armoured, cavalry if they are not too much bigger. The horses will be the deciding factor for me, MM (and Essex) horses are small but stocky.

I suspect they will dwarf the MM figures whether foot or mounted......
