Title: Figure Finder help, late 15th Century Italian Spearmen
Post by: Yarkshire Gamer on January 27, 2020, 09:38:23 PM

Hi,

I have built up a pretty big early Italian Wars army over the recent years and I'm looking to add some City State troops, Spear and bow, any suggestions for suitable figures ?

Crossposted from Medieval board as it covers both periods, sort of

Given that you have a lot of Perry figures already in your army, you might want to stick with them.  For the spear men try the Perry metal early Italian polearm infantry (with the oval shields) and replace with a spear.  For the bowmen a simple conversion from the plastic mercenaries set with bow arms from the WotR set and swap out some of the heads using the Italian heads they produce.
